29 Palms is great except for all the Yucca trees, and the sand, and the heat, and the snakes, and the rocks, and the bars just off base and the stars - wait, what did I like about 29 again? 🙂 hehe
I was actually THINKING about hitting up St. Louis here this weekend (girlfriend has family there), but at the last minute plans changed and I'm stuck here 🙁 One of these days I'll make it back to that city.
I never made it to HI yet, it's on my todo list though. Bahamas this winter, but maybe Hawaii in Spring 😉
