Can't remember if I ever mentioned this on this board or not, but I am heading off to Europe tomorrow afternoon to study abroad for the next month.

I should have web so it may be al the same to you, but no... I'll actually be in Ireland.

Noisemonster - 7-12-2005 at 09:58 PM

cool! but only for one month??

JunoRedneck - 7-12-2005 at 10:06 PM

I want to go to Ireland for a month. I just want to move out of Santa Cruz... for a while at least. That's awesome though. Are you excited?

poobs - 7-12-2005 at 10:33 PM

Whooo!! This is news to me!! Have fun!! Bring us back something cool!! :D

seacaptain - 7-13-2005 at 06:19 AM

I am quite excited, yea!

It's only a month of classes, then I have a week of backpacking around, then I have to be back here for fall semester.

Take care, I'll check in when I get there and can get the web

Hey, weren't we gonna move to Ireland? We need to follow through with some of these plans. Wait, do they have mailwomen in Ireland?

Evil - 7-13-2005 at 11:50 AM

They will when we get there.

JunoRedneck - 7-13-2005 at 12:05 PM

:lol:

This is true.

minimandy14 - 7-13-2005 at 01:30 PM

Dude, I wish I could backpack through Europe! . . . .This is my new plan, when I turn 18 and graduate, I'm going to get a bunch of credit cards. . . then I am going to use them on my back packing trip. . .and where ever I am when they are all maxed out is where I will live, becuase I won't be able to come back to America becuase I'll be so much in debt :yes:

. . . .this is a good plan :D

TurtleEnterprises - 7-13-2005 at 01:33 PM

THAT IS THE WORSE PLAN EVER ...HAHAH
dyler you think you know everything.
haha
have a fun safe trip.

minimandy14 - 7-13-2005 at 01:44 PM

Is it? I thought it was rather brilliant. . . . .It needs perfection though. . .this is just the idea of what it will be like. . . . .

seacaptain - 7-16-2005 at 05:17 AM

Sounds like a good plan to me Mandy

I made it here safely, I'm in a webcafe and feel more and more European all the time. Cork is a very colorful city and looks like it will be a blast. Some pics a little later, when I can get my laptop on the web.

poobs - 7-16-2005 at 09:49 AM

Nice!! Thanks for checking in!! *cough* lucky bastard *cough*

Evil - 7-16-2005 at 11:01 PM

Oi. My grandma was from Cork. How neat.

minimandy14 - 7-17-2005 at 11:23 AM

oi :lol:

Evil - 7-17-2005 at 12:00 PM

Nopey pants. I was Jewish in fifth grade for about two months, though.

I guess subconsciously you want to be British. Ever thought of converting? :duh:

seacaptain - 7-20-2005 at 03:28 AM

A few pictures, all from my trip from New England to Cork

From the plane, over Ireland:

Streets of Dublin from top of a double-decker bus

A bar in Dublin with the most Irish name ever: Mick O'Mahony's

Irish countryside from the train between Dublin and Cork:

And finally, as the train pulled into Cork:

More pics of Cork, the Blarney castle, and a few other spots later...

poobs - 7-20-2005 at 09:02 AM

Nice!! I notice the Beck's sign on the bar as well..

Ahhh..Maybe I'll try to head over there when I'm in Europe next year..It looks so pretty..You're having fun, I presume??

JunoRedneck - 7-20-2005 at 09:27 AM

That looks awesome! It's so green :duh: I hope you have fun. I'm so jealous.

Awe, I wish I was in Britain, I don't care where, just somewhere on that Island. . . . . . :yes:

seacaptain - 7-21-2005 at 03:31 AM

I am having a blast, there's a bazillion pubs and it's fun to walk around Cork. Classes at this early stage are covering stuff I already know so they're not challenging yet.

minimandy14 - 7-21-2005 at 02:11 PM

Yet. . .. . . Speaking of classes, school starts in like two and a half weeks here! isn't that crazy?! I gotta go and buy some new cloths and stuff. . . . .

Well, I assumed you would be poobs, but I didn't think that you would want to talk about it.

Talk about me being distraught? Or talk about me defecating on worthless posts?

minimandy14 - 7-31-2005 at 01:50 PM

Evil - 7-31-2005 at 02:13 PM

I don't hate people who are smarter than I am, but maybe that's just me.

poobs - 7-31-2005 at 02:21 PM

minimandy14 - 7-31-2005 at 06:42 PM

You weren't around with MichelleRene?

minimandy14 - 8-3-2005 at 08:28 AM

No, I know who she is, I don't know who Willy Hung is. . . . .

seacaptain - 8-3-2005 at 09:06 AM

Good evening!

This last weekend was a 3-day weekend, so I spent it in London. I got to meet the girl I like's boyfriend (she lives in London now). But other than that, I had a blast. And I got searched for explosives. If they do have a profile, I'm not far from it: I'm half-Indian, travelling alone with a big backpack. :rolleyes:

Ireland is still fun and I enjoy drinking in the pubs and walking around the city and I don't miss the States at all.

Awe that sucks that you got searched, but its pretty hilarious! Good to hear that you're having fun.

poobs - 8-3-2005 at 05:35 PM

Dude..It's all part of the experience..:D

minimandy14 - 8-3-2005 at 06:49 PM

Werd, that is totally a memory you can have for forever.

TurtleEnterprises - 8-4-2005 at 04:38 PM

I MISS BOTH HUNG AND MICHELLEY

poobs - 8-4-2005 at 05:07 PM

Me too..Michelle more than the Hung-meister..

minimandy14 - 8-4-2005 at 05:20 PM

I kinda remember when she was here, she was cool.

JunoRedneck - 8-4-2005 at 05:30 PM

I hurt my wrist in a haunted house.

poobs - 8-4-2005 at 05:31 PM

You didn't call me when you were going?

We can go again. It's always there. It's one of those carnival style haunted houses, not a real one though. It's at the Boardwalk. I hadn't been in it in years, and they changed it all up. It's actually pretty kickass. They had this one thing that looked like the room was spinning and kinda made you feel like you were falling forward. It was trippy. Except it kinda made me wanna vom. We should like have a .net meet-up at The Boardwalk! It'd be fun, I swear.

poobs - 8-4-2005 at 05:36 PM

How far are you from Monterey? I'll be heading up there the weekend of the 20th..:D

JunoRedneck - 8-4-2005 at 05:39 PM

It's close. It's about a half hour away.

poobs - 8-4-2005 at 06:14 PM

We're there!! By we, I mean me and my boobs..:duh:

JunoRedneck - 8-4-2005 at 06:47 PM

I knew that's what you meant. If you go on the 26th, you can see Survivor! Or you can just walk around and pretend you're in Lost Boys.

Teehee, I don't really expect you to know them. I didn't know their name until recently. They do the song "Eye of the Tiger". I'm sure they'll cover other such cheesy songs too.

poobs - 8-4-2005 at 07:09 PM

I think we moved in like 83 or something..Wow..The 80's..I've lived a long time!!

Did anyone see the Bernie Mac episode where the boy was doing that ribbon dancing gymnastics thing? His performance song was Eye Of The Tiger..Oh man..It was so awesome to see this skinny little boy in a leotard jumping with that long ribbon.. :lol:

Everytime I saw a sign for Slough, it made me soooo happy.

I know there's some Office fans here, so I posted my pic...

Will put up a lot more pics when I get home in 2 weeks.

minimandy14 - 8-5-2005 at 10:18 AM

UGH! It's foggy here! But that's just because of the damned humidity makes the air all hazy looking, nothing cool and refreshing like REAL fog

seacaptain - 8-13-2005 at 01:15 AM

I leave Cork in about an hour, that's where the university I attended was.

I am first going up to Dublin for one night, then on to Amsterdam and Belgium for 3-4 days and then back to Dublin for a couple days before I return home next Saturday.

I'm ready to move on from Cork, I think; but I know I'm not ready to go home...

poobs - 8-13-2005 at 09:32 AM

Awww..How sad..But it sounds like you had so much fun..Bring me back a present from Amsterdam!!

Have a safe trip!! :yes:
