  1. Travel to Ireland
    Created by: Howard (HBINDC@aol.com)
    [Timestamp: Fri 27 Feb, 5:50 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Is anyone out there interested in joining me on a trip to
    Ireland in September/October of '98? I am a 41 year old
    male from the U.S. who loves to travel. I have been to
    Ireland once before, about 4 years ago, and it is one of my
    all-time favorite trips. I was only in counties Galway and
    Clare, and would like to plan another region of the country
    to visit. Unfortunately because of work, my trip must be
    limited to 10 days or so. Even if we could meet up for a
    brief time, that would be fine. I plan to stay in small
    B&B's and do some day trips by bike.

  2. SEX IN THE VATICAN
    Created by: Father Nelson
    [Timestamp: Thu 26 Feb, 19:17 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    has anybody besides me had sex in the Vatican. There are many gay priests there who seek out other gay people from English speaking countries to practice their English with.
    You can recognise them by the little crosses around their waist.
    Just go them and (in English) ask if they take confession. You will not be disappointed.
    Father.

  5. Sydney - April 1998
    Created by: Jon F (jonny_uk@hotmail.com)
    [Timestamp: Wed 25 Feb, 4:59 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Hi. I will be in Sydney for two weeks beginning on the 11th
    April 1998. I'm a 28 year old English guy who's never been
    to Australia before and am going there on my own.
    Since I don't want to arrive in of the biggest gay cities on
    earth only to sit on my own for a fortnight I wondered if
    there were any Australian guys round about my age, though
    not necessary, who would be interested in meeting up and
    going out on the beer and clubbing whilst I am there.
    I promise I'm not a whingeing Pom who will spend the whole
    time moaning about how much better things are in the
    Motherland !
    Hope to hear from you. Reply below or send e-mail.
    Cheers

    Hi I am a 27 yr old Australian girl travelling for the first
    time in Thailand with my girlfriend. We are travelling for
    3 weeks starting at the end of March. We have chosen to
    visit Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Ko Samui and Ko Phan Gan and
    would like to find out as much as we can about places to go,
    cheap accomodation etc in these areas. We are also open to
    suggestions that people recommend of other places. Any
    information that is gay and lesbian specific (eg nightclubs,
    accomodation) would be greatly appreciated.

    Lots of information on the gay scene in next door Costa
    Rica, but nothing (zip) found so far on Panama (the
    country). Somebody got some information ... like gay,
    gay-friendly bars, groups, or contacts. Can find
    nothing at all. Scouting out interest and market for a gay
    and gay-friendly bed and breakfast, that would be available
    to all, but specifically Panamanian lesbigays who want a
    remote place to relax and enjoy a break in the mountains
    free of homophobia. Thanks...

    been before but the clubs we tried to enter all seemed very

  14. mardi gras

    [Timestamp: Tue 17 Feb, 20:00 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Hello! Do you have an extra Mardi
    Gras party (Feb 28) ticket to sell? The
    annual event is sold out already but I
    really don't want to miss it.
    I also want to see the parade, but I
    think I don't need a ticket to watch. Is
    that right?
    Also, I'm looking for a roof to stay for
    Feb 25 to 29 in Sydney during the
    Mardi Gras period.I'm on a tight
    budget, so do you know a cheap
    hostel or guesthouse that still has
    vancancy? Or do you have a spare
    bedroom or a floor to sleep on? I
    would pay you for the
    accommodation. But I'm solely
    looking for accommodation, with no
    other intentions.
    I plan to do some bushwalking in the
    Blue Gum Forest or some other wild
    places. I'm looking for hiking/
    camping campanions, and information
    on hiking groups.

    Thank you and let's talk.

    Just finished a stay in Auckland. A new hostel called the
    brown kiwi just opened in Dec. It is owned by 2 gay men and
    run by a lesbian. It is extremely nice. Best hostel I have
    been to. it is competitive in price and is closer to the
    gay clubs & district of Ponsonby than the downtown mega
    hostels. Give em a try, I had great fun there!

    I am going to be in South Africa for the month of March. I
    will be flying into Capetown then traveling the coastline to
    Durban then to Pretoria then on to Jo-burg. I enjoy learning
    the "intowners" lifestyle, local artisans, high adventure

    I would appreciate any info on the following:
    a) Adventure travel operators (ie treking, safari,rafting,
    sailing, cycling, horseback, etc) that cater to young
    adventurous types.
    b) B&Bs, hotels, restaurants & bars that are local's
    favorites.
    c) If there are any passes available with any airlines for
    unlimited travel for 30 days at a set price.
    Thanks!!!

  17. Round the World
    Created by: Eric (eric.crespin@bigfoot.com)
    [Timestamp: Sun 15 Feb, 23:28 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Hi there,
    My name is Eric and I am planing a round the World starting in September 1998. I am 29, french living in London for the past 8 years. Travelling has always been my hobby and I have decided that I have now been talking about doing a Round the World for far too long now. I would welcome any tips you might have for my enterprise. Been Gay, I would love to know about any information you might have, but I do not intend to make this trip a shag fest. Serious tips on Travel are, I guess, more important.
    I intend to travel by train as much as I can. I would like to start in North Africa, then East Africa towards South Africa. From there, take a train to the Victoria Falls (anything apart from the Blue Train???) and on to Keyna. Go to India then Malaysia. Go down to Australia and New Zealand then on to South of South America and work my way up by train to Mexico. From there, I intend to buy a car in California and cross the States.
    I know this seems like a huge trip, but I am giving myself a year to do it. If anybody wants to comment, I would welcome any constructive suggestions. I would also welcome any potential travel companion for parts of the trip.
    I look forward to visiting this page again. I love the concept and wanted to thank LP for this great facility.
    Byee Boys!

  19. BOYCOTT THE CAYMAN ISLANDS!

    i got permission from curt at cjh to repost an article that appeared in a section of his website
    http://netpics.badpuppy.com/cjh/c&j.html
    the article is long; i'll post the 2nd half in the thread as the first response...apologies for the
    bandwidth...
    ----
    The Cayman Islands --- 01/08/98
    The Cayman Islands has just turned away a Norwegian Cruise lines ship carrying 900 gay
    passengers. This money laundering little slum of a country has said that the did not expect that
    these gay passengers were capable of exhibiting the kind of behavior EXPECTED of visitors to
    their country....

    CAYMAN ISLANDS TURNS AWAY SHIP WITH 900 GAYS ABOARD
    -
    Angers HRC, Atlantis Events, Gay & Lesbian Travel Ass'n & Activists HRC:
    'Economically Foolish, Morally Wrong, Bob Kunst Calls 'Boycott!'
    --
    The Cayman Islands is engaging in discrimination by deciding to bar a chartered cruise ship from
    docking there because its clientele is gay, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) said
    today.
    -
    "Denying routine docking rights to a ship simply because it has gay passengers aboard is not only
    economically foolish, it is morally wrong," said David M. Smith, HRC's senior strategist and
    communications director. "The Cayman Islands has effectively said, Travelers are not
    welcome here if they are gay.' "
    -
    "A country that relies on tourism as its primary staple for its economy has much to lose. History
    has shown that unfriendly areas of the world that actively discriminate against people bring
    international condemnation. We have registered a complaint with the government and are exploring
    further action on this matter."
    -
    In a December 8 letter to Norwegian Cruise Line, Thomas C. Jefferson, the Cayman Islands'
    minister of tourism, commerce and transport, had stated: "Careful research and prior experience
    has led us to conclude that we cannot count on this group to uphold the standards of appropriate
    behavior expected of visitors to the Cayman Islands, so we regrettably cannot offer our
    hospitality."

    Hello, I am a 26 year old American-Indian/Swedish guy living in Bangkok. I am going to Amsterdam in March for 5 days, 13th-18th, on my way home to Boston.
    I am looking to have some good wholesome, well not wholesome, fun in Amsterdam. I have been there before while I was in the Air Force, but only to the straight places on the Red Light District. Now I would like to find all the gay places.
    It would be cool to travel with someone else, maybe share room at a gay hotel, who knows. I am interested in trying things available there that are not available elsewhere, if you know what I mean, hint hint, nudge nudge (or maybe this idea could just go up in smoke;)
    Well, if you are going to be there around that time, it would be cool to party and experience the scene together. Give me an email, and I will reply.

    [Timestamp: Sun 8 Feb, 10:58 Tasmanian Standard Time]


    Does anyone have a good word for the Spartacus
    International gay guide? I have seen its entries
    for places I know well in England and it is hopeless;
    often not updated for years, many of the entries
    describe venues that are closed down or give incorrect
    details anyway.
    If this is what its like for somewhere like the UK
    where there is copious reliable information available
    from magazines/the Web etc. - I wonder what its like
    for lesser known places? I do know, for example,
    that most of the entries for Morocco are worthless
    - again they are out-of-date or just plain
    misinformed.
    I suspect the book is mainly a vehicle for gay
    scene adverts and the other information in it
    is of poor quality. Has anyone found it genuinely
    useful and informative?

    Any tips on Atlanta. I want a cheap double hotel near public trans. Curious about the 800' granite outcropping. What museums are good for someone not wanting to be bowled over with southern charm, military history and Coke. Your experiences appreciated.

    Hi, Thanks to the people who contacted Lonely Planet about
    the message saying this site would be closed. Rest assured
    that LP has no plans of the sort - the gay & lesbian
    thorn tree branch is a very useful and popular site and we
    have no reason to discontinue it.
    ....it takes all sorts, I guess.

    I'am arriving in Brussel July 22 then to the GAMES in

    and Northern part of Africa maybe as far as Kenya. Would
    like to meet some fellow travelers and get a used car and
    drive. No hurry no worry. Hosteling is great or camping is
    OK but with winter approching might do better in hostels.
    I'am a very young 57 and I will be carrying a pack if not in
    a car.
    Anybody need someone to travel with? Some of the time or
    all. Hope so!! We have time to plan drop me a line

  43. Gay & Straight Traveliing to Puerto Rico
    Created by: sinbad (sinbad@pangea.ca)
    [Timestamp: Sun 1 Feb, 2:48 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    I'm straight and my friend is gay. For his 40th birthday, I
    have agreed to take him to Puerto Rico. And since he is
    very scared of traveling (he hasn't been out of North
    America) I need some help. The problem is last time I was
    there I never checked out the alternative lifestyles places
    to go. So I was wondering if anyone could help me find a
    "gay and straight" positve place to stay. What gay clubs I
    should take him too. What are the rules in these clubs.
    What, if any, gay positive excursion such as fishing trips,
    scuba diving, site seeing I should sign up for. What I
    should make sure we stay away from. Is Pureto Rico an
    "open" community? I would like to plan a very gay positive
    trip for him so that he would get the desire to travel more.
    Thanks for your time and any information you could supply.

  52. ST. CROIX,USVI-WARNING!!!!
    Created by: IB
    [Timestamp: Tue 27 Jan, 5:05 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    My partner of 25 years, Brad, and I had planned a
    week’s vacation on the island of St. Croix, USVI, at a
    resort called “On the Beach,” located just outside the town
    of Frederiksted. From the resort’s brochure: “The
    hotel’s relaxed and accepting atmosphere makes this a
    popular spot for a wonderfully mixed clientele of gays,
    lesbians and friends.” We reserved our January stay by
    telephoning the resort in October and immediately
    forwarded the required advance deposit of $642.50, (50% of
    the price for a week’s stay). The hotel told us
    credit cards were not accepted for the deposit payment, only
    personal checks or money orders. After
    cashing our check, the hotel sent us a written confirmation
    containing notice of a “60-day cancellation notice”
    requirement for high season.
    Approximately 10 days before our departure, Brad
    learned he had multiple myeloma, or cancer of the bone
    marrow, and would have to begin chemotherapy and radiation
    treatments without delay. We immediately telephoned the
    hotel and sent them a letter explaining the situation and
    requesting, given the circumstances, the return of our
    deposit. The hotel employee with whom we spoke offered her
    sympathy, advised us that she would convey our request to
    the owner of the hotel, and suggested that Brad’s physician
    send them a letter confirming his illness and inability to
    travel, which was done.
    We have never received a response to our letter, and
    in repeated telephone calls made to the owner of On the
    Beach, Ronald Smith, we were told that he was unavailable.
    After trying unsuccessfully for 3 weeks to reach
    Mr. Smith, he answered the telephone on January 24th. He
    coldly, rudely, and loudly reiterated the hotel’s
    60-day cancellation policy, alleged he was unable to re-book
    our room and advised that he was “sharing his loss”
    with us. It is telling that he finds a physicain's letter
    inadquate proof of our dilemma, but asks us to accept his
    verbal assertion that he was unable to re-book our room -
    with ten days notice, in high season, and a booming
    economy . Owner Ronald Smith's habit, demonstrated in the 2
    telephone conversations we have had with him as of 1/26/98,
    is to yell loudly and slam the phone down in mid-sentence,
    disconnecting the call. Under new ownership, this appears
    to be a very different place from the resort that was so
    highly recommended to us by friends. Our total loss of
    $642.50 poses a financial hardship given the situation we
    are now facing.
    Our advice re: "On the Beach" resort: STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

    I am really worried about the type of comments I have received on this page. I had a genuine question to you other gay men and women and I have been treated unfairly. I told you all a personal thing and you have all made fun of me. Well, some of you have. The only good answer I had was from the nice Muslim man who seemed to understand.
    Has anyone travelled in these type of countries? Is there gay sex to be had in Muslim countries?
    A man told me in the hotel the other night that the muslims have to have sex with animals before they marry because they must marry a virgin. Is that true?
    I am thinking of going on a holiday to Malaysia. They are Muslim I think. Do they have anal sex in that country? Surely some of you people have travelled there and can tell me. And if I go, where should I go to find a man. Or are all Muslim men Gay? Please advise.

    [Timestamp: Thu 8 Jan, 18:27 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    I am a gay guy newly moved to the gold mining area of Kalgoorlie in Australia, but I am too afraid to "come out " in this rough, tough town. I am sure some of the men are gay because my Gay antennae can pick it up, but I'm just not sure.
    Can anyone help me?? Places to go etc. I've spoken to the prostitutes in Hay St. but they were nothing short of rude!
    Love to you all. Johnathon.

    If any itinerary-less travelers are going to be wandering in
    Singapore or Ireland in March, this charming 28-year old
    bisexual male would love to meet up for a few hours or a few
    days. I'll be returning to the U.S. after a year-long stint
    teaching English in Japan, and I plan to piss away my hard-
    earned Yen on my way home. This will be my first visit to
    both countries, and I'm open to any kind of travel
    experience, from relaxing countryside rambles to wild city
    adventures. While in Singapore, I'm thinking of taking an
    island adventure cruise, and in Ireland, I want to spend
    most of my time in Cork county. E-mail me for details and
    dates.

    Afetr spending five months in Bali, I have found the
    following nite spots for us. All are mixed bar bar I am
    sure your gay antenna would be able to able to pick up
    the signals. The call boys are around Rp 50000 and don't
    pay anything more than that.
    Club Koala is no longer a drag bar. Go to Cafe Luna instead.
    Ulu Cafe at Padma Hotel on Sunday only.
    Daily:
    Goa
    Cafe Luna (just across fr Goa)
    Double Six
    Gado-gado(the drag queen in Cafe Luna would tell you which
    days are for these two clubs as they open on alternate
    days. Some cover charges, around US$5)
    La Luciola- open air restaurant at the end of the gay beach
    at Seminyak. Spectacular sunset view. Don't try the dessert
    especially Tiramisu. The cake is swimming in heavy syrup.
    Made's Warung-trace of gay men.
    Un's Cafe not far fr Poppies Cottage.
    Ubud Area:
    Ary's Cafe- good place for people watching
    Also learn that there's a white-water rafting company by us.
    Visit them at http://www.birafting.com Mention the owner's
    name skeety and your rate would be US$55 all year round.
    Quite a hunk. The boys are available and you may even get
    the athelete for free. Good luck.
    Haze? Never in bali

    I'm Malaysian, 28 and married. After all these years, I tried to depress
    my inner-feeling of being attracted to guys - tough and masculine guys.
    Unfortunately, in Malaysia, it is hard to expose yourself as gay or wanting
    to have sexually relationship with guys. As far as I know, there's no club or
    pubs which would be the main centre for people who desperately seeking
    for their one-night partner. If only there's Malaysian of any race or foreigners
    who are staying in Malaysia would like to share information regarding gays in
    Malaysia or likely to have their load cum-ming, please inform me and I will be
    obliged to share (everything).

    really have much specific info for gays, such as bars clubs,

    If youre planninga trip to the USA or Eastern Europe

    I'll be travelling in India with a good, but platonic,

    Delhi or Calcutta? What sort of cruising body language would
    Indian fags use? Not that we're at all looking for a sex
    holiday, but it would be interesting to meet other homos and
    just see that side of India, too.
