Green Iguanas aren't indigenous to Florida. They were brought to Florida on ships from Central and South America that carried fruits. Often thought their presence was good, they soon found out the Iguanas became a nuisance. They cause damage to plants with flowers, foliage, or any kind of vegetables and they destroy them. Moreover, iguanas burrow deep holes in the soil that can damage the infrastructure of sea walls, sidewalks and drainage canals.

Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC) deems them an invasive species and are NOT protected. There are services available for Iguana removal and no license is required to kill them as long as it done in a swift humanely manner.

Often, they become road kill when they get in the way of oncoming vehicles. That was the case this morning when I was leaving a project in a community surrounded by dense foliage. When they are hanging in trees and moving about they appear to be really slow... however they are extremely quick to run and can disappear in a heartbeat when provoked.

This one committed suicide and there was no way I could have avoided hitting him. It felt like I struck a 4 inch thick tree branch. The cars behind me had to steer around to miss him.

I'm pretty excited....today will be taking a road trip up 4-5 hours into New Hampshire. Now day trips may be mediocre to some, but to me, being the hermit that I am .. ..it's a blast, seeing as I hardly go anywhere, other than a walk to a local store for necessities. My smokes are much cheaper there too, so I'm stocking up (my apologies to the nonsmokers lol) Who loves to travel?? I know I do

Friends, has anyone traveled? Can you recommend it? I am very afraid that I may get seasick.

I am on my 2 week mandatory summer holiday/break from work, and I am already bored. So what better to do than to plan next years holiday? These past few days, I have been watching a YouTuber named Mr Jww, and his experiences in the Mille Miglia Storia, which is a global brand that combines the heritage of the world's most beautiful race with a fun, sophisticated, inclusive and contemporary lifestyle. It's essentially a 1000 mile rally with some of the most beautiful and rare cars in the world. Some take it as a road trip, while others take it VERY seriously.

Mr Jww is in the 1st bracket - he's just there to experience it and have fun while driving.

Anyway, as I was watching the videos, I made a decision - I am going to Italy on my next holiday. When is that? July 2024, is my aim. I will not go there alone. I asked a friend if she wanted to come, and she said yes. Now the planning begins.

First, we need to figure out where in Italy we are going to go. I have my eyes fixed on Rome, but Italy is a big country, so I will look around. The next step is to find a hotel. Because I am such a gentleman, I will ask her if she prefers one room together, or our own rooms. That's gonna be up to her.

In any case - one week in Italy next years is gonna be the best thing ever! I have so many things I want to do. Cooking classes, take pictures, relax and eat good food!

There is still a LONG time to go. The flight will be booked early next year, when we have picked a location. Until then, it's time for research.

This is part 2 of my absolute nightmare of a trip home from the US. In the last blog, I detailed the trip to Germany and the US, and the trip back to Germany.

Now it's time for the absolute biggest annoyance with air travel: Delays!

We were sitting in the aircraft, all buckled up, ready for takeoff, when a van with two people came up to the side of the aircraft. They wore helmets and vests. "Oh boy, this can't be good", was my thought. About ten minutes later, the captain came on the intercom and explained that we had to disembark, because the aircraft had a malfunction. However, we already had a new aircraft, and all we needed to do was find the new gate. We would then be off shortly.

However, when we reached the gate, we had to wait for an hour and a half to be allowed to board. By then, the boarding time said 7:40 am. The flight was originally scheduled for a 7:15 am takeoff, so we were already 35 minutes late. 7:40 am came and went - no boarding yet. A few of the passengers went to the desk to hear how much longer it would take. No answer. Only that they were working on it. By then, the time was 8 am

New boarding time was put on the monitor: 8:20 am. That made one of the passengers so irate, that he asked the staff member to cancel his ticket, which the staff member did. Very little information was given to us. It was a mix between "sorry for the delay" and "we have no information yet".

8:20 am came and went - still no boarding. I am usually a very calm and positive guy, but even I was reaching the point of having enough. Finally, at 8:45 am, a full hour and 5 minutes after the 7:40 am boarding time, we boarded the flight. 20 minutes later, we were ready for departure. Takeoff was at 9:18 am and we landed in Copenhagen at 10:18 am. Originally, we were scheduled for a 8:35 am landing, so we were almost 2 hours late. I found my suitcase, and went home.

That whole delay in Frankfurt single-handedly made me swear to never fly with Lufthansa again. Some good experiences cannot outweigh the bad. I know it's a low-cost airline, which I definitely experienced. My next flight will be with SAS. They have a direct flight to Dulles from Copenhagen, and I will definitely spend a bit more to get a better class. I am thinking Premium Economy, since I don't really have the money for business class. One more strike for Lufthansa was also when their app suddenly locked me out, with no way to change the password.

Pro: The food on the flight from Frankfurt to Dulles was good. Smooth flight as well. The flight from Dulles to Frankfurt was, despite a reboot of the in flight entertainment, pretty smooth as well. We hit some turbulence on the way, but it wasn't extreme.

Con: The "food" from Copenhagen to Frankfurt, the sandwich before landing in the US, the delay in Frankfurt and the app shutting me out

Three pros and four cons. It wasn't all negative, but I am still not going to recommend Lufthansa. If they had been more open and transparent about the delay in Frankfurt, I wouldn't have minded that. However, because they gave so little information, they go on the cons list.

Overall, I give the flight, as a whole a 5/10.

That's how long I have to wait until my next USA trip. By then, the date will be October 28.

The plan is to experience Halloween in the US. Once again, I am staying with my friend, her son and her cat, which I have nicknamed The Terror.. It's a long story.. Anyway!

I plan on booking the flight in six months. That gives me just over 4 months to save up, which is entirely possible. I am getting a second payout from work next month, so that's going to be put on my savings account. Before you know it, I have enough for my flight to the US.

This time around, I am flying direct! I don't want to change flights, because it can end badly, like my trip home earlier this month. I am also going to go a class up, and select Premium Economy rather than regular economy. More space on the plane and lounge access - two things I have never tried in my life, so I am thinking that now is the time. I also think the food is better, but I'm not sure.

I am prepared this time. The last time, I just picked the cheapest option available, which showed. This time, my flight will leave in the middle of the day, rather than at 6.35 am. That means I can get a good nights sleep at home before I head to the airport. Now that I know there is a direct flight from Copenhagen to DC, that's what I will take from now on. I gave Lufthansa a chance, and they blew it. I will explain more in a future blog.

Now I have my next trip to plan in a few months. And yes, that means another installment of my "Making plans for my USA trip!" blog series!

The most beautiful place for diving is the Red Sea in Egypt. To see coral reefs with wonderful shapes and colors and rare wonderful fish
And rare marine creatures

Real estate prices should be dropping sharply in the Gaza Strip by this time next week. The population density will probably also be a lot less which means you will have plenty of room at the beach to spread out your blanket if you don't mind the smell of not collected corpses.
