Theme Park Discussion / Where is Roomie?

What a way to see the world.  I'm pretty jealous, man.  I love to travel but never really have the time or money to really explore.  Great to hear from you.

Wait I'm in the video? Haha I forgot about that trip!

Those vending machines in america were incredible. I didn't get anything from them though lol

I have been off enjoying the world again. This time somewhere a little different which i thought was worth sharing. 

 

I spent the last week with 3 friends in Jordan. Despite all the difficulties and issues in the Middle East at present, the Jordanian people couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating - particularly the Bedouin communities out in the Desert.

Jordan truly is the nicest house in a noisy neighbourhood and I'd encourage everyone to go and explore it! Fantastic!

 

 

We spent the first few days camping with the Bedouin in the desert

 

 

We climbed Jordan's highest mountain

 

Saw some amazing sunsets

 

And even more amazing starscapes

 

We then headed to the incredible Petra and the main reason for this trip

 

Petra is an incredible ancient city hidden in the canyons and cliffs of central Jordan.

 

Having some tea high up on the cliffs with some locals.

 

We got to visit the Treasury by night. It was particularly beautiful  

 

We also visited the roman ruins of Jeresh. Also pretty amazing.

 

We spent the last couple of days in the capital city of Amman. A crazy mess of bad driving and controlled Chaos. 

 

A weird place to visit maybe. But worth it? Certainly!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful pictures.

That last picture is awesome. I got an urban geography boner from it. 

Once again extremely jealous...Petra is on the short list of international places I want to visit. 

Every single picture is amazing. I think Lawrence of Arabia was filmed there. So I'm getting both an urban geography/planning boner from the pics, as well as a movie boner.

I spent a bit of time in Jordan too and had a blast. Beautiful country with lots of cool stuff, and also Lawrence of Arabia

howdy all.

Just booked some more American hijinks for April and early May 2017. Do we have any members in Toronto, Memphis, Minneapolis, Denver or Edmonton? WIll be stopping off at all these places at some point. As well as Orlando but I've met and know many of the Florida members pretty well already so will probably be saying high as it is

What in the hell are you gonna do in Memphis

Toronto, Memphis, Minneapolis, Denver or Edmonton?

 

That is a really weird travel plan.

yup its certainly not usual (and its not in that order either). Bearing in mind I've visited almost everywhere I've ever wanted to in the USA barring some West coast places I'm saving for a different trip (Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Diego)

 

Toronto is obvious it has Niagra Falls looks like a great city and has Robbie92 as a bonus.

 

Minneapolis and Edmonton are to tick off the two mall parks i Don't have. Also to see the cities, I've heard good things about Minneapolis.

 

Memphis is one of the music capitals of the world. I don't expect it to rival Nashville or New Orleans in terms of live music but it's certainly somewhere I've wanted to go and experience for a while. Even if Its one of the shooting captials of the US.  

 

Denver is a shot in the dark a bit but the flight there cost £4 thanks to some air miles (in Fact i booked three £4 flights plus a £38 flight from Toronto to Orlando) It may not be an amazing city to visit but if all else fails the WIngs Over The Rockies Air And Space Museum which will keep me occupied

 

Orlando... well DIsney, Universal etc etc.

Very interesting. Denver is beautiful. You'll love it. 

Minneapolis/St Paul are great to visit, I don't return from college there until June though.

Edited for clearly not reading when you'll be in the area. Lol. Springtime in MN is kind of crazy. Might be nice with some blooming plant life, might be cold and even snowy if you're unlucky. haha! Depends on the year. If it's bad out I'd recommend the indoor arboretum at Como Zoo. And also the indoor Water Park of America. 

 Robbie92 as a bonus.

 

 

I'm an international highlight. 

Come to Dubai! Ferrari World, IMG Worlds of Adventure, Legoland, Bollywoodland and Motiongate! I'm here until April.

I have actually been pondering doing a few days in Dubai in December. I've spent plenty of time in Abu Dhabi but not made it up to Dubai yet. 

 

It kind depends on the Hunger Games coaster opening with Motiongate in time.

I'm sure it will, it's one of the main attractions at that park. It's already pushed back to mid-December opening. I'm planning on going to Legoland the week it opens for the hell of it, and then Bollywood next month too when that opens. Planning on hitting IMG soon too.
