This just popped into my head while watching an old episode of Wild, Wild West.
I'm interested in core memories from travels, something that could be quite small but has always stuck with you and you look back on fondly.
For me I was redesigning Nike's call center software and as part of the project they took me (they all went because hey free travel) to Amsterdam and Ireland to test my designs with call center agents in those two countries.
We were Ireland and the business analyst from my company and I went to a pub in Dublin right on the main street, we had stopped at JJ Fox and payed 4x too much for a couple Ramone Allones Specially Selected cuban cigars and wanted to hang outside and smoke and drink, he grabbed a table at said pub and I went in to get us drinks, the bartender came over while wiping down the bar with a rag and said "What can i get for ya, boyo?" ... I am pretty sure i started grinning like a Cheshire cat, it was such a little thing but for some reason that's when "you're in Ireland" hit me and i was just so happy that I was in a real Irish pub ordering up a couple pints. A lot of cool stuff happened on that trip but that is the one thing that always sticks out and makes me smile like it just happened.
So what do you have, any core memories from travels?
