    • We have a radio deejay here in San Diego, who flies to Las Vegas for dental work!

      I didn't think my family did anything like that until I realised that we drive 100 miles just to have Sonic burgers. icon_redface.gif

      Are you guys guilty of anything like that?

      i will go to lengths for good factory outlets when in the us.

      when in sd for work, i am based in rancho bernardo. i will drive all the way to the mexico border to the factory outlet to shop. it is a 60mins drive without traffic jam.

      i once drove my colleague 2 hours from vancouver(washington state) to an outskirt area in oregon (forgot where) to a facotry outlet store becos we want to enjoy tax-free shopping.

      coming from a guy, i know this sounds ridiculous. however, when in singapore, i wouldn't go beyond 2 mrt stops to do shopping. the nearest mall from my place is exactly 6mins by foot, or 2.5mins on a bicycle.

      Yes that is my to do list to see the northern lights. thanks for the reminder.

      Question: can a ordinary camera capture the aurora?

      Also to add to look up the night sky is best laying down or have neck pain......
