It takes 600 years for a drop of water to go from one ocean to the other- it then returns 600 years later. Have you ever seen the ocean? (multi choices allowed)

psssst Hunky, you forgot the Indian Ocean, that surrounds the coast of Western Australia

Don't forget the Gulf of Mexico. I finally got to see it when traveling to New Orleans.

I would love to go to Australia some day.

what about the pond in our garden [8\|] that's kinda an...ocean...I mean for our fish it surely is [8\|] and it took a damn long time to dig it out [>:]

Me to, heck I could even apply for the short skilled visa to there and it would be good for my fibro with the warm climate...however...knowing what creatures are living over there (and I am not talking about wanders, I am talking about their weird really huge spiders and poisonous ones too) I leave this one on the "never going to happen list" for now [&o] But I do admire Australia...on TV...[8\|]

pahunkboy -> RE: Have you ever seen the ocean? (4/11/2010 4:22:09 AM)
PH, I think it is like an 18 hour flight. It is fun to dream tho.

Phoenixpower -> RE: Have you ever seen the ocean? (4/11/2010 4:30:07 AM)
I really wouldnt mind the flight itself...but as a kid I suffered from regular nightmares with spiders which I got rid off ones I got over some aspects in my life at that time and I am sure those nightmares would come back once I encounter one of their big ones...also considering that they have little ones which are poisonous I am assuming that they also might be poisonous for my cats...gosh I don't even want to imagine how often I would need a new cat due to them being killed just because they decided to hunt those ones...shudder...nope...australia is one of the few parts of the world which will stay safe from me coming along [:)]

pahunkboy -> RE: Have you ever seen the ocean? (4/11/2010 4:46:31 AM)
I hear there are some creatures on OK. Too bad I never got there tho. A really nice guy- that we talk 5 hours at a time- Brian. Dreamy. Oh well- my life is in PA. sighhh

Thanks for adding in my ocean Hunky [:)] And Phoenix the spiders don't go around killing cats and people every day, it would be safe to come for a holiday

I have spent 40some years living on a sand bar five miles out in the Atlantic. Fire Island. And I've crossed the Panama Canal so I've been to the Pacific. Plus let's not forget the Great Lakes.

Plus let's not forget the Great Lakes. I currently have a view of the Susquehanna River. The views rock. Did you know every 20 minutes it looks different? the backdrop the wind the hues the movement of sun and moon all effect the nuanced view of it. Lately tho- I don't take it in. The car traffic wears on my nerves. We have a flood wall which bombed both sound and crime 24-7 back to me. I am home day and night- so after 3 years- of course it is going to wear at me. As a kid we would go boating on Lake Michigan. So- I hear you on the Great Lakes.

I get really claustrophobic at the ocean. I feel trapped (no, I'm not kidding). It's quite an amazing thing, but I'll stick to something I can swim across, thank you very much.

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: Have you ever seen the ocean? (4/11/2010 6:51:31 AM)
I love being at the ocean. I find it very calming. When I first moved to San Francisco, I lived about a mile from the beach. every night after work, I would take the bus past my house & go sit on the beach til sunset. I would watch the pelicans flying home after fishing all day. It was a wonderfully healing thing to do. I miss the ocean. But I can look out my sister's windows & see the Potomac, which at least is water.

thornhappy -> RE: Have you ever seen the ocean? (4/11/2010 7:06:03 AM)
I lurvz water of all sorts. Once I lived a block from the ocean, complete with foghorns. Other times I was within a mile to 7 miles (great view from the Santa Barbara foothills). I miss them.
