Hehe - Rarely, one will find a basement in Florida because of the water level. I personally, love Canada, amount other Countries I've visited. To explore and meet people off the beaten tracks is, first of all, seizing the opportunity to meet aboriginal communities, discover their way of life. Visit isolated villages and come to understand better their customs and traditions. In short, it is an unforgettable experience, allowing exceptional encounters while being close to nature. From coast to coast, each province will seduce you in its own way and have many surprises await you! Incredible encounters are to come and various outdoor activities are very popular, especially during winter. Cloud lives in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFatboy Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 I had to look up the "Hagie Store" and I assume you mean the one in Norway? I also loved Canada for the short time I was there. They really welcomed us with open arms and I got to know the hotel manager and several of the hotel staff really well. He invited us up to his penthouse one night for drinks to watch a concert from the top of the Hotel....it was amazing to say the least!! I liked the UK for a visit but I wouldn't want to live there. There are amazing sights to see in Canada and UK that's for sure and the cultures are similar yet quite a bit different. I could live in Canada with all the hunting and fishing opportunities it provides as long as I could get used to the harsh winters. I met a lot of people in both of those visits and can go back anytime with lodging available for nothing. All it would take is the air fair but unfortunately my cardiologist doesn't want me flying if at all possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foamy T. Squirrel Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My Norwegian friends have explained that the latitude, climate, land and beauty are much like Alaska & British Columbia. I have not been to Norway, but I've spent time in Alaska & Canada and they're great in spring and summer. The fishing is nothing short of amazing. I suspect it's also quite good in Norway. If you can't fly, I suggest winning the lottery and doing a cruise. (With maybe a stop off in Barcelona just for kicks. 😜.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen lots of beautiful pictures of places in Norway and it's a place that I always wanted to go but my life changed a lot 10 years ago and I just lost the desire to do so. I've never been to Alaska, my son has twice but I never have. He brought back a ton of amazing pictures from his trips and it looks spectacular! If I ever did go to Alaska I would want to catch a humongous Halibut and pack it down in dry ice and overnight that sucker to my house lol. I've found that fishing is nothing short of amazing no matter where I go......I just like to fish 🙂 You know what Foamy, even if I won the lottery I probably still wouldn't go on another cruise. I've been on one and everything was so time oriented that I didn't particularly care for it. The food on the cruise was great and I enjoyed some of the shows but I just don't like being on a time schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has been and really enjoyed the whale watching tour they had and also enjoyed snorkeling a lot. I've never been so I can't help you unfortunately. I'm sure they have some kind of bill fishing services there that you might want to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll join you in the ship's bar and we'll snag plenty of fish whenever we want. I have several ladies in mind for your all female crew so we won't have to bother with the day-to-day routines.

Not quite sure what kind of fish you both are talking about (doesn't sound like the kind that lives in the water) 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay in a sand chair in the water with a tall cold drink of your choice and a big stick of Maui-Wowie. Make sure a gorgeous native is by your side at all time to fill the drink and keep the stick lit. Both of them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
