Winter blahs got you, too? :( At 5am today I saw the fresh blanket of snow and said :fl !!

I got the jones for a REAL cigar vacation next winter, someplace or places a low maintenance cigar girl can have ten days or so visiting en vega.

Anyone have a favorite place(s) they'd like to recommend, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Thank yew! :ss

Joan,

Here's a vacation/motorcycle idea for you. This is a friend of mine who is a geologist that I've worked with in the past (back when I had a job in the methane field.)

He's a real adventurer and rides a motorcycle (redundant?) so I thought you'd get a big kick out of reading his site. If you duplicated his trip, you'd be warm, that's for sure.

I've got a couple of geologist friends that can't sit still for a minute. I had Indian food with both of them a few weeks ago in Denver and thanked them for all of their "travel logs" as I could live my life vicariously through them, stay safe and save a lot of money!

...I became increasingly frustrated with people who were neither motivated or courageous enough to follow their dreams -- did they not understand the importance of life and the fact that we each only get one chance to live it to the fullest? ---Geologist John, http://www.salsabravamotorrad.com/

Cool link, WyoBob!

Oh man, riding from SEA to Patagonia would be way cool, but take more time than I want to commit to next winter. And there are those pesky cigars that would get hammered to dust in the topbox. :p

:hm.... suggestions so far include Cuba, Napa, PV, NZ, and the Keys. AFAIK, only Cuba has actual vegas.

I'd LIKE to visit the island before the embargo ends, but I'll need a back up plan for, say, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica... ???

Ooo... I just found out about Camp Camacho, http://camachocigars.com/2008/11/10/visit-camp-camacho/, but too late for this winter, DAG!

Also learned the dates Fumee's Hond/Nic trip in October I already have booked. DOUBLE DAG!

I like the Camp Camacho set up, kind of, because it would allow a nice introduction to the vega AND I'd stay on in the area (or head to the beach) for another ten days or so... YEAH!

*sigh* More snow headed this way this weekend.

This will have to be in 2/09, I'm thinking, just going to block out the weeks before and after Presidents Day weekend. Still looking for ideas...

Oooo! Second vote for FL! Certainly no worries about the water or bringing things back into the country, but...

...is it really HOT there in February? I'm looking for ten days of HOT to go with the cigars, tobacco plantation, and r-u-m, RUM. :tu

Hi lovely Joan,

On my moto board someone posted up moto tours in the Dominican Republic. They use V-stroms. When I mentioned if I ever took that tour I'd never get out of the Davidoff factory he posted this:

Oh, I did consider one of the many CA and SA moto tours available, however I plan to be drinking the whole time :chr so riding someone else's nice 650 would not be prudent.

I'll save the moto tour vacation when my Medjet membership is up to date for a motacycle vacation. :tu
