I must be mad! How I could let them convince me to do this again. 10 days on a raft made of plastic bottles. The guy who has invented this craft says it is completely safe because it has 8,000 watertight compartments - Titanic had 16. This will be my fourth time but still I do not believe it is safe. here are some pictures from past trips

I will be back on 4 August... I hope

have a good one!

I am leaving the forum now - see you when I come back

oops, overslept and missed the bus. Well next one is in an hour - maybe that one?

I am back! Alive!

I survived red hot sun, insects, drinking cheap wine and vodka, even the collision with a submerged rock when the raft almost broke in half.

Now I have to browse quickly through 1,200 emails I have in my box to see what happend in the paid email business when I was away...




anyone knows what should I do to cure my sunburnt back?

i've never been out of texas in my life. what a shame. I've been to Dallas, San Antoino, Austin, and Lubbock but never been out of Texas

I would never do that. have you ever seen the movie "Cast Away" starring Tom Hanks?

Welcome Back K!

a few things have happened the last few days...especially with clickhunter.
Check the complaints area for this.

so cheap wine and vodka...gee gotta luv it

1200 emails...you sure it isn't more

Have fun reading! ( too much VODKA...uy yuy yuy!)

Welcome back, hope ya' had a great time. Try aloe vera gel for the sunburn...you're on your own with the hangover...lol!
P.S. The aloe will help with the insect bites, too.

i was just about to say what mazzie did about the aloe vera... use it, helped me A LOT! i have really fair skin, so the sun's not too good w/ me.. anyway, glad you're back! and glad you had a good time!

Try a moisturiser (cheese - correct my spelling please hehe) with coconut milk in. It really helps soothe. Don't know if u have Johnson & Johnson where u r, but they have a PH5.5 one thats got coconut milk and aloe!!!! It's ace - cured my Greek sunburn

When do we get to see the pics from this trip then?

Thanks!

this aloe stuff really helped, now I can sit and stand up without suffering that [censored] burning pain. As for the pictures, well, I am going to develop some of them today and I think I will put it on my own site as soon as possible. Now all I have is a scanned picture from a newspaper and I have just uploaded to my site, you will find a link on the bottom of a page.

"moisturizer"
only one letter off!

~cheese
btw, any time! LOL

OMG, I thought you were kidding until I saw the pics

very nice. i would like to go in a trip like this

You should have filled the bottles with beer

That makes for a a good trip
