List of Banned Countries*
Turkey
Portugal
Chile
Peru
Anywhere in Africa
New Zealand
Fiji
Costa Rica
Slovenia
Montenegro

* Subject to change at any time

Australia was on it but I earned 3 Visit Credits anywhere in Australia so she had to remove it.


What is with this list? Does she have reasons for any of these? And Australia? How could anyone ban Australia? I think it's some ploy to get you to do things she wants you to do!

What happens after you visit them with her , are they off the list ?

Hmm - good question. I'd imagine they'd be off the list after we visit them together. Although, the list will likely continue to grow over time so there will always be countries that are off limits.

I had a commodore 64 and 128 with the big floppy disks

A bit???? :eek:

Plan B would be to go to a bank in London and have your USD exchanged there. Exchange places at airports typically have high service fees.

Disclaimer: While I almost always follow Plan A or Plan B, I will admit that in BRU, I ended up exchanging most of my money at the hotel! :eek: :rolleyes: Bad sdm1130... I guess I just needed convenience at the time.

Hmmm. If it is best to just use the money then I have some travel to plan. Have a few dollars from here and there that I need to exchange! :)

So, basically every desirable place you would like to visit is forbidden. :rolleyes: At least you can go to Croatia. e

Yeah, we have one of those lists as well. :rolleyes: She doesn't understand that me going to a country before we go together actually benefits her in the long run.



Nice! Sounds like you've trained her well... ^^

Yeah, I'm quickly learning I have such a list as well. :(

So far, from what I know, the list is:
- Italy
- Greece
- Australia

Wow. I didn't even know you could do PS on the C128. I should dig mine out from storage. :)

I've heard that Maine Coons aren't exactly stealthy or demure ...

Those are places she has never been to and realy wants to go , and does not want me to go without her.

She loves Australia, she lived there for 6 months and is dying to go back , that is why she tried to ban it for me. ( I got out of it )
She has been exposed to FT and knows that no location is too far for me to visit on short notice so she set up this list.

Yes, but you used the past tense term. Ask Plus1 if he still has his.

I've advised Plus1 he can now find all my travel information on the BOX (as I forgot to mention my Dallas trips to him).
