Also Guns you should definitely rent scooters from Luka one day and zip around the island. It was a blast and you see some awesome sights. Found an awesome place to eat on the beach down the road and a bunch of other great photo ops. And it was way easier to rent from him than the companies that do it. Even though the guy that was riding one too crashed it right in front of the hostel lol.
I'm not sure how hard it is to get, but my credit limit isn't that high. Maybe worth a call. I seriously love Navy Federal, so much better than BoA and Regions -- the other 2 I've had accounts at.
I'll take a look there. BoA has treated me pretty well so far I just only qualified for like a $500 card with them.
turned 31 this past weekend and went hard in the paint Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights. Took me until today to feel like I'm firing on all cylinders and back to normal.
When I was a godless heathen, yea. Now I just can't do it, not to mention that I really have no desire to stay out that late anymore. Once in a blue moon, but definitely not every weekend. Fuck staying out until 3-4 AM, I just can't do it and also have a good job.
I've found that staying out late affects me more than heavy drinking. Like I can drink really heavy one night but if I pass out fairly early (meaning 1-2am) I'll get over the ensuing hang over fairly quickly. But I can not drink as much and stay out till sunrise (when your asshole friends convince you to go to the strip club) and I'll feel like shit for days.
Navy Federal is a credit union but the size of any bank in the US, so it's almost not fair. It only exists to aid guys in the military, so it has the lowest rates. I think my international ATM fees went from 2% with BoA to 0.7% with Navy Federal.
Always, ALWAYS, buy one for the girl you're trying to get with. Gives them a concussion then they're pretty much good for anything
Ok guys... Doing the Google Flights trick, where would y'all go from Zurich? Graz, Austria is $79 and I haven't been Helsinki is $112 Nice is $107 (But I've been to France) Ljubljana is $76 Sarajevo $102 Budva $193 Tirana $138 (Then the beaches, but I think I'd just rather have a city due to time constraints) Malta $136 Bucharest $141 Tallinn $155 St. Petersburg $137 Oslo $131 Marrakesh $141 Cairo $196 Baku $189 Izmir $110 (Although I've been to Turkey) Sofia $107 Riga $87 Vienna $68
I'd rule out Russia due to everything going on. Also not a huge fan of Vienna. No idea about the rest.
I don't know much about most of them... I think I'd most prefer Marrakesh, because I'll msot likely be with a chick. If I am NOT with a chick, then Helsinki
Have you been to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx yet? May be a cool & calmer thing to do before TYW. It's also peak summer at that time so you may not want to deal with 95 degree weather in the desert.
Russia would be cool, but you'd need a visa, so probably not worth dropping $150 for 2 days. I'd go to Tallinn of those choices. Heard really good things. And its a pretty big party place for bachelor/bachelorette parties for brits. Helsinki would be my #2
Our schedule pretty much every day was get up between 10-11, do shit during the day, nap for like an hour or 2 at like 6, eat and go out and stay out all night. I get pretty awful hangovers and was about to fucking die when we went from Prague to Hvar, just ask NC Wolfpack. Twice I had borderline anxiety attacks the next day I was so damn hungover. Ended up taking one night off our 3rd to last night because I couldn't do much more. You just find a way to get over it for the most part and sack up. This time around I'm already planning one night right in the middle of the trip to take it easy and recharge the batteries for the home stretch.
I'm also prescribed xanax. so that will help take the edge off the hangovers. Speaking of, can you take prescriptions into foreign countries?
Can't speak to where you're going, but Brazil's customs website said they wanted the pills in the original bottle with the prescription from your doctor.
I took shit that I bought in overseas into every country I went to in Europe. Just had them in a bottle in my bag.
Back to the drinking/raging thing, I think (at least for me) that I'm able to drink so many nights in a row because I don't get blackout, or near as drunk as I would in my hometown/domestically. I like to be in control and aware of my surroundings when abroad. Even though I stay out until dawn, and am plenty drunk, I try to stay away from shots and generally avoid getting belligerent. I don't think blacking out in Thailand, or many of the exotic places mentioned ITT, would be advisable.
Yea I make a huge effort to not get blackout drunk when I travel, especially since I was always by myself. I failed one night in Phuket when I drank with the Russians and that could have ended badly (no ladyboys for this guy).
Yeah I pretty much did the same thing. A couple of times I got a little out of control and felt it the next day. One pubcrawl had a damn free beer and shots power hour that got a little out of hand.
I got pretty blacked out drunk in Pamplona the night before Encierro (running with the bulls). Luckily, I woke up in my hostel at 5am and made it back to the Encierro before sunrise and ran relatively still-drunk. Incredibly nerve wracking.
This. So much this. Even if it's in the US, I'm only blacking out in Nashville (which I only do once or twice a year)
I can drink for hours and not black out, shots included. Probably blacked out 3 times in my entire life. Thank my Irish genes for that. My friends that I'm traveling with, however, are not. They love taking shots and then blacking out by 2 am. I'm gonna have a stern talk and basically say I'm not gonna babysit them and dont be an idiot. My one friend was shithammered in Old San Juan and kinda got separated from the group as we're walking to the next bar. I look back and he has his pants around his ankles, walking backwards, pissing in the middle of this nice, old cobblestone road. if a cop had seen him he'd of been instantly locked up. fucking idiot. I'm sure Room 15 would love to tell his story about Key West and/or walking 10 miles to his hotel in Vegas.
I black out lots and always end up somewhere safe or interesting. I like sleeping though. I love naps too. I did a lot of "stay up til 5am, sleep til 11, nap from 5:30-7, start all over"
Im serious. I rarely offer up anything that would be considered "wise advice", but BUY THIS if you are going to go out every night. It WILL save you life.
Misunderstood the iyo....it is a water "bottle" that can fold and fit in your pocket and is easy to fill up at any sink you encounter. More or less, you are able to easily carry around a water bottle that will aid in hangover recovery.

So if I decide instead to go to somewhere tropical like the Bahamas or something (never been anywhere down there), where would be the best spots to go as a single guy? I've heard the DR is where it's at.
