okay what kind of vacations do you participate in well well when we were kids we went to uh Mexico a couple of times uh-huh and we went to Carlsbad Caverns and uh Alamo uh-huh and Oklahoma um-hum and since then i've gone to uh well i went to Mexico on one trip and i went to Lake Caddo uh-huh and uh have you ever been on a cruise before uh no no nothing like that no uh would would you like to go on one do you think no i don't think so because because uh i like to fish oh and i camp out and stuff like that well they sure are a lot of fun they sure do a lot uh good eating yeah uh-huh if you like to eat that's the place to go that's one one to go on i i it's the best eating in the world yeah oh yeah oh i mean it's nonstop the minute you get on the ship until you get off you can start eating and you can eat all night long if you want fantastic i'm going to go to Europe in the in the Fall um-hum and i'm really looking forward to that i've always wanted to go and i have a friend that's a uh flight attendant for American and her route is London to Dallas so she wants to go see England just because she just flies in and flies out so she she knows London but she doesn't know the rest so we're going to go to Wales and Scotland and England i think that'll be fun is that in the Spring that this Summer uh we're going in the Fall September October oh yeah uh-huh and uh i think that'd be great plus like i say i like i like cruises i'm going with my sister-in-law i'm going on a cruise next summer uh for about seven days and uh i'd i haven't decided i've been to the Bahamas but i think i'd like to try the uh the Mexico one this year the Cozumel and um-hum Puerto Vallarta and that that route around like that i believe this next time but the Bahama one was nice and if that's one of the cruise we can get on i i'll take it again because it was really a lot of fun and the water's real clear down there oh just crystal absolutely crystal clear the fish are just beautiful and if you like snorkeling um-hum yeah oh just you just can't beat it i i love to snorkel and the the beaches are just snow white absolutely snow white have you ever been to the west coast of Florida um no just to Galveston oh well the west coast of Florida all all those beaches are snow white like that um-hum um-hum and the east coast you have to get down to Miami before they're any you know before they're snow white but the west coast is just beautiful um-hum and i i go i moved here from Florida a couple of years ago back from i was living in Texas i went to Florida and came back and uh oh i'm going to retire down there one of these years and it's going to be in on the west coast of Florida because it's so gorgeous yeah the sand sand is just out of this and it's just like sugar powdered sugar around uh oh Venice Beach and Clearwater especially has beautiful beautiful snow white sand um-hum it's really nice but i grew up in Colorado so i don't care for the mountains too much hum uh and California i'm a native Californian and they have mountains there my mother lives up in northern California they're nice to visit and i didn't enjoy growing up in the mountains and i'd rather go to the sun than i would to the to the mountains i mean they're all right i don't like it because i have to go now see to see me mother i have to go to the the the mountains yeah but if i didn't have to if i didn't have to go i would never go did you ever go to Yosemite yes that's pretty isn't it yeah it is and i've been to uh of course i grew up in Colorado where it was really mountainous and beautiful um-hum hum yeah but uh when i go back and visit it i'm really disappointed it it it doesn't uh i remember it as a child and it's nothing like what i remembered as a child it's so commercialized and i it really um-hum made me got kind of turn my stomach when i went back and saw how commercialized it had gotten but yeah i'm not a camper outer so i you know i if you like to camp out so that's fine but i i don't want to camp out i like the luxuries too much i guess i'm spoiled i am spoiled yeah and i spoil myself i guess so i and then in in Colorado it's mostly streams and they've dammed up some of them now so yeah yeah it just so you don't Colorado just doesn't really show me anything anymore so um-hum now my where my mother lives in northern California is absolutely gorgeous i mean just yeah picture postcard gorgeous and it it you know it just out of sight but uh it's too uh i've got to be by a big city i i can't stand living that far away i fly up into Oregon and drive down to her house um-hum and uh so she's really way up there and it it i just it's just too far away from a a big city for me i got to have a shopping malls and what have you and northern California really is out in the boondocks isn't it oh boy she is in it's it's a good twelve hour hour drive just from San Francisco on winding winding winding river roads um-hum and it's way on up past the wine country and everything is like i say it's really gorgeous but but you fly in through Portland then no Medford Oregon oh they have a airport there uh-huh yeah and then drive down it's about an oh an hour hour and a half's drive from Medford Oregon but it's all mountain driving um-hum and fortunately my sister picks me up i don't have to drive it yeah tried driving it once from San Francisco and that was a that was very dumb i'll never try that again they have a they they have a coast highway there don't they or well this uh where my mother lives is uh it kind of in the middle of the state up north so um-hum they're about uh an hour or two drive from the ocean for the coast so you could go up that way but it would be out it would be out of your way better from from to go to her house at like up through Redding and on up that way um-hum and uh how far is it from Tahoe oh gosh i don't know four hours i think four no i can't remember i seem like it's eight hours somebody somebody told me it may be it may be twelve so i can't remember mine i know my son went from Tahoe to over to their house so and he knows that i i never have gone there so um-hum i don't know master the mountains too yeah it really like i say it really is gorgeous um-hum uh i uh i like the sunshine better i mean i'd rather go out where there's beaches and i don't i like to sun bathe and uh you know it's getting so dangerous now the sun bathe or the sun burns and cancer skin cancer and everything so i load up you know on the sunscreens and so i because the ocean to me is real soothing and comforting comforting yeah and so that's why i like to to go there but and of course i don't like uh i like uh i like to snorkel so i have to go where there's real clear water to do that yeah and around here the uh the Possum Kingdom is about the the closest place is it really uh yeah they have real clear water and plants oh i've never been now where is that near it's uh near um well it's it's kind of near Abilene but it's it's uh about halfway in between here and and Abilene oh okay it's uh you if you know where Albany is then uh it's about maybe an hour west of Weatherford oh okay out there west of Fort Worth uh-huh uh-huh it's a big it's on the Brazos River they dammed up the Brazos River oh i see i see and it's beautiful is it no i i guess i've never been up there my my when i moved up here uh uh uh from Florida i i misplaced my snorkeling i think they what they did they didn't unpack it it must have been in a box or something they didn't unpack because i ended up without my snorkeling equipment and and a few other things and they must have been in a box that i had in my garage and they just didn't get them to me so um-hum i'm going to have to start from scratch i guess and buy all new snorkeling equipment but i had some really good snorkeling equipment i really hate to start over again but there's no other choice choice but yeah anyway have we talked our five minutes yeah i think so okay well it's been nice talking to you yeah nice talking to you bye-bye uh-huh bye-bye
