Well, it is in South America.

Yeah Central America >>>> South America

:p

He had to commute down to South and Central America to set up phone switches (the big hardward) which ran cell phones and the like. Off the top of my head, I know he went to Colombia, Guyana, Bolivia, El Salvador, Ecuador, and maybe Brazil.

This was somewhere within the time period of 1997-2002ish

Eh, I'm sure I'll have a totally different experience. I am going with her family to stay with more family. Should be a lot of fun.

Enjoy the trip man.

All tropical countries would be fun to visit, but I'm absolutely terrified of spiders, so I always chicken out.

That movie is incredibly funny(avatar)

You've got that right, my friend.

If you stay clear the forests then you'll be alright. Big spiders, at least where i live, are not seen very often.

But you know, it's the possibility that I might even encounter one. It's irrational, I know, but I can't help. Someday I might decide to go, but no rainforests for me.

Just carry you typical battle axe.

I'd rather not be in axe wielding distance from them, tbh.

The only thing you have to worry about here is like... bears and coyotes.

That's more my thing. We have wolves and bears, but very seldom this far south. The only animal that could potentially kill you here, is the common European adder, and for that you'd have to be really unlucky.

I'm deathly afraid of the tarantualas, poisonous snakes, Gila monsters, and scorpions around here.

I can't wait to move back home to where all we have to deal with is wolves, bears, and the occasional black widow spider.

Funnel-web Spiders are supposed to be quite common where I am, I've never seen one though. They keep to themselves, thankfully.

[QUOTE=wikipedia]Funnel-webs are probably one of the three most dangerous spiders in the world and are regarded by some to be the most dangerous.[/QUOTE]

I won't even click that link.

Are they dangerous?

When I went to Hawaii years ago there was this huge spider in our car that we didn't see till we started driving, needless to say, we pulled over and got rid of it, the thing was like 2 inches in diameter.

*shudders*

I was just reminded why I'm quite content with living in Sweden.

You see spiders that big here on a daily basis.

The biggest spider I've seen around here is a banana spider

That's not too bad....still scary if you stumble across one not expecting it......

They are nasty looking though.
