What Ark said, but for the slope it'd be going to see our company's operations up there. She should be moving back down here later this year so I'm trying to get up there a couple more times

One of my coworkers is thinking about taking the kids up to Land of Oz. Anyone been? Seems like an odd place.
Paraglide in Medellin, take the cable car, go to guatape and the rock. Find the parque bar crawl and do that. Stay up all night at the plaza street parties in Cartagena. Have a drink at sunset at the only bar on the wall
There's a cool coffee shop in an old bookstore in Cartagena. The name is escaping me but it was good coffee and the AC was on full blast.
The city has many pockets, but the best area is located near here: Hostal Lleras Calle 8 Medellin Calle 8 No. 37A 59. As Ark said, you can take cable car up which allows you to see the whole city. I believe the end drops you off at state park, once there you can do cheap horse back riding. Sounds cheesy but you get to see areas no one else does (dirt roads past old drug plant farms). Here is a copy/paste from an email I sent someone: Spots to hit: Eat at Carmen http://www.carmenmedellin.com/en/ Charlee Calle 9A 37 16 | Parque Lleras, Medellin (rooftop bar) Cable Car Ride: metro pablado to metro Acevedo to Santa Domingo to Parque Avri. Metro Cable Car. Plaza Botero in El Centro (downtown plaza) El Hueco (market/mall) Cl. 48, Medellín, Pergamino Cafe Cra. 37 #8A-37, Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia Rock Dali Calle 9 Bariloche parrilla argentina Calle 20 sur No 38-181 (restaurant)
Fukin good ribs goes by something else now but it will come up if you Google it. It's delicious. Medellin

Midway is a nice community. Founded by Swiss Mormon immigrants. The village still maintains a Swiss “feel” to it. Short drive to Park City. It won’t be uncomfortably hot up there either.
This weekend- Bryce Canyon National Park. August- Austin, TX October & November- Italy December- Florida
Wife or Wife's uncle have any recommendations for southern Spain? I haven't read through the thread yet (but plan to do so after I get through the July 4th festivities) but figured I would ask.

Flying back from Copenhagen now just finished a road trip from Gothenberg Car Ferry to Poland Berlin Krakow Budapest Slovakia (outside Bratislava) Vienna Prague Munich Driving everywhere except Poland was a breeze and a lot of fun going through the countryside and small towns between major cities.
Question for my Croatia guys: my buddy and I are staying at Luka's Lodge for two nights in a few weeks - arrive mid-afternoon Wednesday, have a full day Thursday, then leave Friday morning. For Thursday, we want to get on a boat and go around to Pakleni Islands and explore a bit. We've heard you can easily rent a dinghy or small boat and pilot around with two people... but assume then we'd have to stay relatively sober and it would just be us all day. What would people recommend between getting a boat between the two of us or trying to join some tour / being a part of a larger boat group?
My wife bought one. I don't know. They seem like standard hard sided roller bads with batteries. But I see a ton of them in airports
Gibraltar is more fun than I thought it would be. Pretty awesome seeing the strait. The monkeys are cool too
I guess the warranty is nice. Does that even go for airlines ruining your shit? The have to get kickbacks from the baggage loading unions
Says everything is covered for life, except the battery which has a 2 year warranty Whatever bag "the mini" is only has a one year warranty
I really dig mine despite the hate on the price. Rolls super well even in shitty potholed sidewalks and streets. Enjoy the battery pack even though other brands do offer that I think. It doesn’t waste much space inside like a lot of others do. I can do 10-14 days of stuff depending on climate where I’m going really easily.
What was so bad about driving in Poland? We’ll be driving from Warsaw to Krakow to Auschwitz and then down to Vienna in the fall.
Away is decent quality product married with very savvy marketing. Became a darling millennial brand by going hard on IG and such. And that trial period thing is pretty brilliant when you think about it.
A lot of the roads including their version of interstates are in bad shape. It appears they are trying to fix it because there is road construction everywhere. Their driving culture is also extremely aggressive. Speed limits are basically suggestions but aren’t used by most drivers. The Berlin to Auschwitz drive was miserable as a lot of that corridor has issues. Auschwitz back to Krakow wasn’t too bad. Biggest thing I can tell you is if driving in central/Eastern Europe is always plan on your drive taking 1-2 hours longer than you expect. Random traffic jams are very common. What are you planning to use for navigation?
Not sure right now, what'd you use? I'm going to Warsaw for business so I'm supposed to have coverage all over there but we'll see. I considered downloading google maps directly to my phones to have coverage offline.
yeah slick IG marketing. They advertise on TPG podcasts, so his endorsement must make people think they are 'expert' travellers with 'technical' luggage. surely its just a suitcase, though I haven't seen one, nor know how much they cost.
I used google maps with cell service. I would definitely use something that has live traffic and updates due to how things change quickly there.
I’ve heard a podcast with the founder. She pretty much wanted to bu8ld a quality suitcase and a brand around it and make it instagrammable
