Colombia is priority for me. Thats my next destination.
The Phillipines threads here have put that destination in my head. The girls look good and the living seems easy. No beach though.
It's official--after my remaining 2012 DR trips, we'll be going somewhere else next year. I'm thinking Colombia, perhaps Costa Rica or elsewhere if we see a great price.
Back in 2003 when I took a Harley trip across country, I stayed the night in El Paso and had a taxi drop me off at the border. I walked over the bridge into Juarez and had a great time. Bars, music, women all over, being propositioned at every stop. People were out and having a good time. El Paso by contrast was dark and quiet with hardly any signs of life.
I must have walked about 8 blocks in from the border before heading back about 2am. Stopped into about a half dozen spots for a drink. Every place was packed and this was a Wednesday night! I was alone and never felt in danger at any time. People were just out and enjoying the evening and having a good time.
Such a tragedy what has gone on since in that city with all the murders and violence from the drug lords.
I got to read more about this ISOCwiki thing.
YUP! Though I looked and not many countries done yet. DR has this though

Can't believe someone resurrected this from 2012.
Free DON TOMAS!!!
Where is DT anyway???
I looked at the board the other day and we had a record of over 1000 visitors at one point RECENTLY Amazing.
I visited Juarez once. Little girls, completely drugged out, sitting on the sidewalks ! That was it for me and l left pronto for El Paso !
I was stationed in ABQ for a while back in the 70's when it had a population of barely a quarter million and pretty boring so the trip to Juarez was a once a month thing being so close and back then it was all fun and no danger at all unless one is easily offended by the donkey show or forgot to bring condoms. Sure it was still a big transshipment point back then (tar) but it was all done very quietly, under government observation and control and there were no challenges to that control so there was nothing to fight about.
Back then there wasn't much of a local market for the drugs but as DEA pressured Mexico to shut down the routes they had to create an internal market rather than allow the supply to go to waste. This was a major turning point in the culture and they haven't recovered yet. El Paso isn't much better.
Philippines is top mongering destination if you have plenty of time to spend. Most guys never experience PI, just AC and maybe side trip to Subic.
You can travel Cebu and take your girl to Bohol, Boracay or Palawan. If you have 3-4 weeks you will find PI mongering heaven.
