Where would you be?

Right, I've sat at work for the past two days sorting out loads of exchange problems and wishing I was somewhere else.

Continuing on from that thought I booked myself some flights to Barcelona with Sleazyjet for £61 inc taxes, to check out Siurana in November.

Question is, where would you rather be right now?

Nowhere - I love my job with a vengeance!
Ok, I'd quite like to be on an unlimited length world tour in my specially  converted 747. I'd have all my toys, my crew, my harem and personal assistants on board, and I'd be able to go wherever there was an airfield on merely a whim.
I'd start with an extended powder snowboarding trip wherever the best champagne powder was at that moment, followed by the Southern US sandstone for a bouldering and weed holiday, then probably take it easy on a quiet South East Asian island for a couple of months. Quite fancy a trip into outer space at a cool $23m too - that'd be a laff.

Sounds good Bubba, do all the UKB crew get to come as well?

As for my job, I hate it with a vegeance, currently looking for a new job at the moment. Hence me day dreaming...

Me, I'd quite like to be in Thailand climbing off the beach, the chilling in the evening smoking some green.

Hampi appeals as well, just not that keen on the squalor, suppose you'd get a decent curry though after a hard days bouldering though.  :wink:

Right now I'd rather be in the roof cavity of the girls changing room in a californian uni/college gym, after a cheerleading session, equipped with a photographic memory.

Of course - all part of the fun!
I've always hated my job but it's better than digging up a road in 30 degree heat!

Thailand is lovely, and the climbing looks good, but there's probably lots of other better places to go than Rai Lai. Kao Toh (sp!) looks mighty fine as a diving/bouldering island.

I'd be at Bora Bora beach, Ibiza. Some kind soul has imported Camp4 for me and rearranged it all in an exact replica of the real thing, and there are maidens with palm fronds fanning the problems so the holds are the right temperature.

Danny Tenaglia is spinning a few choice cuts and my girlfriend is really interested in my climbing.

Fantastic, just a little too fantastical.

Apparently Lisa Rands used to be a climbing widow, she would sit at the bottom and moan, then she got started and look at her now. Still hasn't got my missus fooled though.

I recon she's the hardest climbing hamster lookalike in the world. I bet she's had a fair few nuts in her mouth over the years (sorry i couldn't resist that one).

Well I broke the "I just don't like it!" frame of mind at Cuisiniere so hopefully I can drag her out again sometime and she'll be a little more receptive.
Anyway, she's skinny and fit so would prolly burn my ass off if she got too into it.
