I'm still in denial about being a grandpa, but if the rumor is true, I'm too young to have a two-year-old grandson.
I'm way to young to have an 18 year old grandson. If you want scary, he is of an age where he could, if he hated me enough, make me a great-grandpa. It seems like only a couple of years ago that I was doing that dis-service to my grandparents.

I'm on my last day of a Whistler trip. I rode this about 5 times and I didn't die even once!

It's not sarcasm. If you can't ride the Skyway, or choose not to, Disney's option is the Minnie Van. You can also drive your own car.

Well yeah, but OP made it sound like there was some soft of press statement pushing people toward the Vans.

I'm betting double strollers and larger ECVs all fit in the gondola. As for a fear of heights... Well, the monorail would have the same problem. That shouldn't be new.

They must have done some sort of magical beautification project since I was there. Back then if the world needed an enema that is where they would have stuck it.

Interesting, I was there a four years ago. Spent a month in Vietnam. Of course the Lutheran part wasn’t my favoraite area but I remember Hon thom being very green with gorgeous landscapes. The towns were not much to write about by I have seen worse in other parts of the world. But of course I’m very adventurous and enjoying staying away from tourist areas. Also enjoy staying in local towns and villages and helping out.
as long as I have a place to sleep I’m happy blending in like one of the locals. Also spend lots of time doing humanitarian so always see the good of everything and everyplace.

I will have to go back and experience it again sometime soon sadly it might not be for a couple years. I’m heading to Africa again and India again corn couple months this year

Speaking of Vietnam did you go to Hue or Danang ? I think those were my favorite areas to explore. Great towns and amazing surroundings and great trekking in the jungles nearby

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.

If WDW can keep all their garbage cans from flying away in a hurricane, they can handle keeping five hundred pound cabins clamped to a wire surrounded by a fence from blowing away.

Now, what's your next disaster you want to talk about? What's being done to stop World War II fighters from strafing the cabins?
Now you have me worried about that :oops:

To be clearer when I was there we were being shot at. The beauty must have been carefully hidden. I was basically in Bien Hoa and, at the time, Saigon. The very last place I would have wanted to be at that time was in Hue or Danang. What I will never get out of my mind is the 55,000 young men and women whose last vision was that place. There is an impressive wall in Washington to remind us of that terrible waste of human lives. Vietnam holds no beauty to me.

Thank you for your service.

The place has apparently changed a lot as it is now home to the world’s largest aerial tramway (230 passenger cabins,) the tallest ropeway towers (620 feet) and the three longest gondolas in the world.
