I just landed a sweet job with Delta… it means I can travel for free unlimited… along with my parents… and my wife… but since I don’t have a wife yet and my parents are pretty much stationary only I can travel…

So… I am stationed in Dallas and I want to go exploring the country… I’m thinking of visiting Miami, Key West, New York, Hawaii… everywhere… but since it is kind of boring to be alone all the time, I want to make friends around the country at the places I go… I feel like a whole world opened up for me… so Since I’m young and single, I want to go somewhere every weekend…

Any suggestions about beautiful places within the country that I can visit alone? Any suggestions on how to make friends randomly?

Okayy so this might be long but all answers are appreciated =]

So my friends family has a time share in key west, florida and last year she invited me and another friend to stay there with them for two weeks (we are 16 btw). it was the funnest 2 weeks ever, and probably the best summer I can remember. After we got back, we became friends with three other girls, making the six of us inseparable.

Now, she said her parents invited all of us (six best friends) to go down to her condo again this summer with her family for two weeks. Needless to say, everyone is super excited, we know that it will be the BEST summer EVER, especially since we are so close.

Here’s my problem. I’ve been working with autistic children all year at a weekend rec. program and absolutely love it. I work great with the kids, and am hoping to become a special ed teacher or another job working with them. So, I applied (and was accepted) to a volunteer position ina summer camp for autistic children. Not only will it be fun and rewarding, it will look great on my resume.

The problem is that this camp is 5 days a week, all summer long, so I woouldnt be able to take the week or two to go to florida with my friends. So what do you think i should do??? Go to key west with my friends and forget the camp? Or just miss the trip and stay with my position at the camp?

Dipzee asked:


So I went beach combing in Key West during Christmas and I found a really cool giant conch shell that had top missing. As soon as I saw it I thought that would a perfect hiding spot for some fish in my aquarium. The problem is that it has calcified? I tested it with vinegar and it got all fizzy. If I covered it in aquarium sealant would I be able to put it in my tank.

Also I found some sea fan skeletons that are really neat looking, and I think they would look so cool in my tank, but they kinda stink. I tried boiling them and soaking them in vinegar is there anything else I can do, or is it a lost cause?
Its going in a 55 gallon community tank.

Thanks, you guys have had some great ideas!

History;
Gauls of the Parisii tribe settled there between 250 and 200 BC and founded a fishing village

Known as Lutetia (Lutece) in ancient times, Paris was conquered by Julius Caesar in 52 BC, 
and existed as a regional center under the Romans and in the early Middle Ages. 
In 987, HUGH CAPET, Count of Paris, became king of France, and under his successors,
 the CAPETIANS, the city’s position as the nation’s capital became established.
The storming of the Bastille in 1789 was the first of a series of key actions by
 the Parisian people during the FRENCH REVOLUTION.
 Paris also played a major role in the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 
Lutetia was renamed Paris in 212 after the local tribe.

Louvre;

Among the thousands of priceless paintings is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, perhaps the most famous painting in the world;
