Great stuff, denizen! I was not a big MJ fan back in the day, however his passing and the fact that music has this real nostalgic link with your past as in a vintage song heard today can instantly transport one's mental imagery back to a specific time/place - has caused me to pick up several of his old recordings in recent years. Okay, fasten your jeep seatbelts ..... 1. Have slept in the very same room as Queen Elizabeth once did. 2. Kate Winslet and I have slept in the same bed. 3. Slept on a cot in a tiger cage babysitting two cub Bengal tigers at a zoo charity event.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
Whether you think you can or you can't .... you're probably right!

Dang, busted again! Yes, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip came to India in 1949 to shoot tigers. The camp that they stayed in is now a tourist guesthouse. 50 years later, I too came to shoot tigers (with camera) and stayed at the same location and, knowing the royal history, requested that same room - well known to the staff. Also in India, I was specking out potential hotel rooms & rates for our company to stay long term at. In one luxury hotel, I got the executive tour and in the process asked if any famous people had stayed recently. The sales manager stated that Kate Winslet had stayed with them while shooting Holy Smoke!. Curious about the specific digs, I asked them to please show that room. It was (of course) a penthouse- like suite with all the gratuities /luxuries etc including a king sized bed. I asked the staff if they minded if I tried out the bed. They said go ahead. And so with business suit on, briefcase in hand, and somewhat to their surprise, I did a sort of a Fosbury Flop onto the bed, shut my eyes, embellished a few snores, got up and made the claim. Okay, okay, I know - a tad juvenile but .... how many can claim that they slept in the same bed as an Oscar winner? Great sleuthing Denizen!!! Next ......?

Sorry! Wrong one! It was actually only the airport in Taiwan for several hours while my family and I waited for our flight to Manila. But hey! It was still Taiwan. By the way, Taiwan has THE best, cleanest, airport I have ever been to. The personnel were also amazing and super nice. I have never met Patricia McConnell, but she's one person I would love to meet. She's sort of a hero of mine in the canine world. You or someone else can have a go, Abigail!

Sorry denizen, wrong again! I went to Disneyworld just a couple months ago, it was a Christmas present from mom and dad! Disneyworld is.... the best place I have ever been! For sure! I was in Florida from Jan 1st to Jan 14th I wasn't in Disney that whole time though, just some of the time The rest of the time I spent with my grandparents in their condo! The best part of that trip is...I'M GOING BACK NEXT JANUARY! Washington DC was the lie, I've never been there. My brother is going to DC in May though, just for a vacation. He is really into the whole "politics" thing, so its going to be the perfect vacation for him Okay, someone else's turn
