Awesome trip. Looks fantastic, and makes me homesick. I actually think Eddie Aikau posed for that statue. Great surfer. Huge loss when he died.

Watched "The Man From Earth." Very interesting premise, but horribly executed: awful scene transitions, gratuitous ending, complete lack of chemistry among the cast members. Only the basic idea...

The graffiti on the way into the US Embassy compound, we didn't put it there. Notice that it's...
My son, Alexander, is actually the most talented photographer in the house. He took this in NYC when he was about 15 or 16.

This is an issue that crosses all boundaries. I think the Mormon church will handle this well.
Even though I'm not Mormon, the story strikes home for me. The reason I converted to Catholicism from...
Nom d'Guerre?
I don't know, I speak Arabic, not French. I leave French to my wife and boys.
If you like these, I suggest that you download the Star Walk app for your smart phone. Amazing photos like those below, and a really cool "live" guide to the night sky, as well as astrology data....
In the spirit of full disclosure, I confess that I have changed my username between here and UFN.
Expat is much more descriptive. In a word, it explains so much more about my life now. And I am...
Used to live there. so much to see and do.
Start with this short list (some of it assumes that you are still a Marine, or still have an ID card):
Go to the Hale Koa hotel for lunch, or wander...
Apologies. I get the BeNeLux countries confused. I did know that it was in Belgium, now that I think about it - just outside Bruxelles. Still haven't found a hotel/house. Ideas?
Sure, I understand it only in generalities, but basically the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II - which happened long before I converted to Catholicism (from Lutheran) - was an effort to bring...
50 is pretty hot. Sounds like Oman in the midday sun.
I think we'll start on the Spanish Riviera in the north, and head south - see what we can see. Plenty of time to see lots.

Hi UtahDan!
I'm an Expat, and I'm a Roman Catholic of the Vatican II persuasion
Sounds wonderful. Thanks for the advice.
I understand what you were trying to do. I was only offering an opinion on the wording, and how it might have been presented differently to be less exclusionary.
If you're trying to take a sample...
I'm with DieHard and LA Ute. The poll seems to be a little bit "you're either with us or you're against us." How about adding "I practice another faith" or something similar?
BTW, yes, I am a...
Probably Barcelona and the north east mostly. We can drive there from our house in Germany.
Just checked the link to Alhambra - gorgeous. Lots of Moorish history, which is right up my alley, since...
going with my family, mostly grown. any advice on where to go, what to do there?
I'm stationed in Germany. Going for a ride in Late March in Holland - Tour de Flanders (the public ride the day before). Anybody else going?
