Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's nice side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, we have reached the twentieth hour of the week.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I am not going to go over, as I often
do at this hour, all the different topics that we've
talked about this week. But it has been a week
of a variety of topics. And if you've been listening, great,
If not, and you've missed any hours, I would suggest
go to Nightside and demand this weekend, simple as that,
(00:29):
and review all the twenty hours that Rob has posted
this week. He will have tonight's program, in which we
had an interesting eight o'clock hour. We talked about a
real problem in the nine o'clock hour with volunteers who
have been trying to send supplies care packages overseas to
American troops who are traveled are who have been stationed
(00:53):
deployed in far away places, and there's now a United
Nations agency which is making that process to be a
little bit more different. And then last hour we talked
about whether or not Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Price.
I think he does, but I think that we'll have
to wait until next year unless they want to do
what they did with Barack Obama in three weeks into
(01:15):
his presidency, Bestowa Nobel Priest Prize from Barack Obama for
apparently I have no idea why.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But that's neither here your there, interesting calls.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Last hour, I want to thank Steve Daryl Ken from
all with him and Craig. And now we move directly
into the twentieth hour of the week, and I would
like to ask all of you, where's the farthest place you've.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Traveled in the world.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I suspect we'll get a variety of top topics or locations,
and then also if you haven't particularly traveled somewhere far,
and again we got to keep this within the world.
I don't think anyone needs to tell me they want
to travel tomorrows, because even with Elon Musk's ingenuity, I
don't think most of us in our lifetimes they're going
(02:01):
to be going to Mars or to the.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Moon for that matter.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Where would you like to go? Maybe there's some location
that really has appealed to you, so we're just going to.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Get right to it.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I will tell you that farthest place that I've traveled,
I've been North America, Central America, I guess, well islands
mostly in you know, which I would call islands in
Central Antigua and places like that, Jamaica. Maybe they're not
technically Central America, but they are, you know, in the Caribbean.
(02:34):
In Europe A bunch of times in Europe, different locations.
Love Scandinavia farthest I guess travel technically would have been
Poland back in nineteen eighty six on a work assignment.
I've never been to Africa, never been to Asia, never
been to Australia. All of those have some interest to me.
(02:56):
Never been to Asia. I would like someday to see Siberia,
to be honest with you, because I think it would
be pretty desolate. I know there's a railroad that runs
up there, the Trans Siberian Railroad, I think is what
it's called. And I have a friend of mine who
actually once traveled there and said it was fascinating.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And I also I'm looking.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Forward when I retire to do some travel on railroads
and certainly the mountains that the Canadian Rockies would appeal
to me. But I want to hear from you, So
we're just going to get to phone calls and have
some fun. This is a Friday night, and you can
address either of both of those. The farthest place you've traveled,
(03:42):
and it is fathest, it's not furthest. Fatherest refers to distance.
Furthest might refer to how what's the furthest you've read
in that book? What's the furthest you went in high
school or college? Anyway, we're ready to roll here. Let
me start it off with Joel and Natick. Joel, you
(04:04):
can tell answer either or both of those questions. Welcome back, Joel.
How are you tonight?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I'm going to find and how are you going?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'm doing very well, very well.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's it's Friday, and we're an hour away from the weekend,
and I've had a tough some sort of like upper
respiratory infection or whatever you want to call it, a flu,
my temperatures down.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I've worked the entire week, much to.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
The sagrin of my daughter, who criticized me today for
working while I was sick. But I feel I have
an obligation to work whether I'm sick or not, and
as long as I can talk, I could work.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I'm looking forward to the weekend. In a word,
let's put it like that.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Even with the bad weather coming, you know, something.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's part of living in New England, right, you know
it's it's going to be good tomorrow, and it's going
to be okay on Sunday, and I'll I'll buckle down
on Sunday night and make sure that that the it's
working if it does get really cold, hopefully it won't.
So where's the where's the fatherest you've traveled in your life?
And where would be the fathest you would like to travel?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well, the fatherest has been Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, I've been to Hawaii. I love Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's five thousand miles.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, it's a good distance, it's yeah, but it's worth
it when you get there. Joel, have you done that
more than once? Are you a regular commuder?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Once it's enough, Dan, once it's enough. Okay, too long,
too long, too long a flight. I'd better go back
to some place like Qsow or Saint Martin which the
flight's much less. Yes, and then almost in the same
time zone.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You ever been to a Ruba?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, we went to a Ruba.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yes, did you like.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I've never been to a Ruba, but people tell me
it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You recommend it.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
No, I don't recommend a rub too. Much too much customs,
really too much customs. Yeah, if you go to if
you go to Tuassau, which is part of the a
PC Islands, you have a Luba bonaire cure sow Okay,
Puss much nicer. Pius is much nicer and very sundly there.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Really.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, a few Major League baseball players have come out
of Curous by the way.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, I think bogods. Isn't bods kept from Tuasau.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think you might be right. I think you might
be right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, there was a couple of out There was an
outfielder I forget his name with the orioles. So, so
where would So that's where you'd like to travel.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I've been, We've been there. We can go back again.
But the problem there you can't get a direct flight.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
M hmm. Well it's still it's still easier than Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Right, that's still he's here in Hawaii. But give me
another one, Dan, Saint Martin. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, Saint Martin.
You can get a direct flight to Saint Martin.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I have some friends of mine who go to Saint
Martin every year and they really love they love the atmosphere.
And I think the fact that that they the rules
on the beaches of Saint Martin's are a little bit
more relaxed than they are here in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
If you get my.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Drift, they are on the French side, not the Dutch side.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Got youa No, you read me perfectly, Joel, you know
me too. Well.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
One other thing, Dan, Yeah, there's another island called the
Cayman Islands. Oh yeah. The problem with the Cayman Islands
is that they're more expensive because it isn't worth as
much there.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's also that's the.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Place where people, really wealthy people, as I understand that,
go to hide money.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No serious, you know that's true.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Maybe too.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'm not one of those people.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
No, I didn't say you were, but I said there
are some wealthy people who go down there. My understanding
is that the banking that Caymans are like a Swiss,
a Switzerland, the Switzerland of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
If you get my drift.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Okay, yeah, I'm not advocating that.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And I've never been to the Cayman Islands.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That I don't have enough money to probably go to
the Cayman Islands. But I'm told that that there's there's
that's a month, that's a place where people put money offshore.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Just you know that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I don't know anyone who has told me they've done it,
but that's that's what I associate with the Cayman Islands.
They have a banking system which is quite secretive. That's
what I understand, all right, Joel, those are interesting, interesting
locales you've mentioned. Let's see what other people have to think.
Thank you, my friend. Hope all is well with you
and yours. Everything good in Natick?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Same? I hope everything's well with yours too.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
All right, pal, thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Joel's your friend of mine who calls in from Nata
call more often, Joel, Thank you much. Let me keep
rolling here six one seven four ten thirty one line there?
What is the father's place you've ever traveled? And what
would be your dream trip? You know, assuming you forget
what the cost, forget the inconvenience, where would you love
(09:23):
to go?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Let me go to Joe in Lynn, Hey, Joe, welcome.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Back, Hey Dan, thank you, And I promise you before
I get into my I won't overwhelm you, but I
do have to send you an important email. Now. The
farthest place I've been and I like it is lords
in France. I was there twice. I was very lucky
to get a sponsorship. And those people are very particular.
You've got to learn their language. If you don't know it,
someone will help you. Yeah. They everything is in French,
(09:50):
at least it was when I was there. Everything It could.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Be like that anywhere in France. Doesn't have to be
lords Lord's obviously. Yeah, is the place where people believe.
Christians believe or Catholic The Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus,
appeared and.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
People people get healed. People get healed there by going
into water. I wish I did, but I did, but
I went in the bath water. Anyway. They help you.
They're very nice, very friendly, and I enjoyed it that
people were decent. I wish I had kept in touch
with these some of the people, but they're very decent,
very decent. There. It's crowded, but that's the way it is.
And it was eight eight.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Hour flight eight eight hours, yes it is.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
You have to go to Paris and that's seven to
eight hour, and then you got to take another flight
to to lose it's like two hours, so it's totally
ten hours to lose. And they'd take a.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Mushroom like five hours tops.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
No. No, I took Air France from Logan.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, I've taken I've flown that same flight and it
wasn't that long.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But where would you love to travel if.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
You I'm you know, could go anywhere money wasn't a
factor or time wasn't a factor.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Where the people are the nicest, in the kindest. I
don't know where that is, but there are some places
in this world. I don't know, you know, maybe Iceland,
I don't know. I've heard a lot of good things
about Iceland. I don't know, maybe the.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Pretty easy to get to, Joe.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
And so what's the other country that you mentioned? Did
you like? Oh, Scandinavian countries. People they are very good.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, No, Scandinavia is beautiful and again people, people are friendly.
They it's it's an amazing place. It's it's a place,
the natural beauty of Scandinavia. I spent a couple of
weeks there and very memorable couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Well, I found that one good thing they take care
of their people there, and that's so good. We should
do that here.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But well, that's truly European socialist countries.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I enjoyed those people on the other line you had
on earlier, those two women. I wish I could help them.
I would. That's disgraceful with the uins do it.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well, well, we'll try to turn that one around. You

Speaker 7 (12:34):
Okay, thanks, Bye bye, Joe, Joe.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Bye bye. Let me take a break. This is a
quick break. We'll be right back. The only line opening
six one, Well, just filled up. We'll be back on
night Side right after this.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on w Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
We're asking the simple question, what's the father's place you've
ever traveled to or what would be and you can
answer and or and or the father'st place you would
like to visit.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
We're going to go next to I Leen in CAMBRIDGEI Eileen,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You are a traveler, so I'd love to know the
fartherest place you've been.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Well, the furthest place I've been was with you when
we went to Budapest, Yes, in Hungary.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, and that might be further. That might be the
furthest place I've been to as well. To be honest
with you, I thought Poland, but as I look at
a map, it could have been Poland or Slovakia.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Well that I just have to tell you what a beautiful,
beautiful trip that was for me. And I think everyone
with European ancestry should take the Danube River cruise because
you go straight through Europe. You see so many different
(13:58):
cities and culture along the river.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Oh, I agree with you. I totally agree with you, Eileen.
I loved that trip, and I loved the idea. And
I'm just looking here. Yeah, you know, it might have
been Budapest, might have been further than Warsaw or Krakau.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Pretty close, pretty close.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Yeah, at first I thought, well, with my husband was
from East Germany and We went to Berlin. He was
from east of Berlin. He lived in Mecklenburg for palmer.
But I looked that up and that's not as far
east as Budapest.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But I'm looking at the map right now and I'm
agreeing with you.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Yeah, And I've been to a lot of places with
my husband. He loved to travel. We went to Iceland.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
That was a.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
Beautiful trip in Finland. It was a beautiful trip.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It's kind of easy. Iceland's pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's it's much closer to us here in Boston, as
people would think. It sounds very exotic, but if anyone
wants to go to a foreign country, that's that's kind
of close by. Iceland's not bad. Reikiavik and other areas.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
Yeah, very interesting place. And we went during the summer solstice.
My husband had to see the midnight sun. So I
always remember remember that great.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Great suggestions, great suggestions and great memories. I remember that
trip dan and the Danube very very much. I would
do that one again, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Oh, I do it with you in an instance, Yeah,
there's I would like to have spent more time in Vienna, Yes, well,
I think we spent two days there but.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Wow, it's still Vienna. I remember the grand plots as well. Yep,
it's all great memories, that's for sure. Eileen's been on
several trips with me and just has been great, been
absolutely great.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
In the future, I want to explore this country more.
I want to take a tour of the Great Lakes
and I've been looking.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I got friends of mine who have done that trip
and they say it's wonderful. And you know, we may
get back on the road again next year and do
something domestically. To be honest with you, so that's a possibility.
Believe me, it's more than a possibility. So we'll see
what we come up with in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Okay, okay, Well, if I hope I can come, and
what I'll do is I'll bring a companion because I
think I think.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
You were worried about me.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
I was the oldest person ever you'd ever met, and
I was on these trips with you.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
No, no, no, you always you always. You're very independent,
and sometimes you would go off and would say where's Ileen,
And people say, we're not sure, but we always found you,
that's for sure. Talk soon, Okay, have a great week
and stay dry.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Thank you, thank you, goodnight.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Let me go to Steve in New Hampshire, Steve Father's place.
You've ever traveled to Steve?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yeah? I don't want to do get the previous power.
But I went to Hawaii twice, once on a two
weeker and once on a ten day trip. And it
was a low dough trip. But it was a lot
of fun and you know, it was a good time
in my life. I have fond memories.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Okay, where would you if you could go anywhere with
you know, time money not being a factor, because time
and money are always factors.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Where would it be?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh definitely, I like the Pyramids. I would really want
to go there, and I'm very interested in that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Would Yep. The second choice would be Octoberfest in Munich, because,
as you know, I do like beer.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Well, you know the funny thing about Octoberfest, which is
kind of inaptly named because it starts like in mid
September I believe.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Correct, September nineteenth, right around that time, I.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Believe, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I always would assume Octoberfest should be like in October,
but it's almost like it really should be called September Fest.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Well, All of my ancestors are from Germany, I mean
every single one of them, and they all ended up
in Chicago. Some of them are still buried there actually,
so I would, I would, that would be a second choice.
But either place would be a lot of fun to go,
a lot of traveling. I'm not really in the long flights,
(18:54):
you know, I don't go crazy. My legs are very
long in the as you know, the seats on these
planes are just not made for tall people.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
This is true.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
This unless you get those both, unless you get the
bulkhead seats.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, I always like, Yeah, I like, and I also like.
I don't know if they still do it, but you
you can get the front roll. You have unlimited leg room.
But I think you have to pay extra for it.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well there was a time when you could get them,
but but now I think they are charging extra. The
airlines will charge you for everything, that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Everything.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
You know. You know, A funny thing when I when
I went to Hawaii, you know, I got stuck at
the bar and at lax and I went to the
plane and they were closing the hatch. So I actually
knocked on the hatch and they reopened it let me in.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
That would have been a no no no no. Yeah.
I like to be at the gate ready to go,
and I don't like to cut it that close.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Steve, Thank you much, appreciate your you call it.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Thanks very much, Thank you. Dan, I taught you soon
only line six one seven. My name's Dan Ray. This
is Nightside. We have a half an hour ago. Where
is the farthest place you've ever traveled? And where would
be the farthest place you would like to travel? So
I said, I'd like to try that that big red train.
(20:20):
I forget the name of it. I think it's called
the Trans Siberian Railroad up in Siberia, because I kind
of imagine a more exotic place in the world.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Australia as well, because that's English speaking, and I'm sure
that it's very comfortable and very Americanized. We'll see, love
to hear from you. Join the conversation. We have full
lines right now. Hold off until we move a couple
of callers here, Okay, don't want to don't want you
to break your nails or hurt hurt your knuckles. Night
Side with Dan Ray on a on a Friday night
(20:54):
heading towards Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
If you're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w
Boston's news radio, we.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Have full lines. And let's keep rolling here. Laurie checking
in from Idah.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Laurie, where's the farthest place you've traveled and is there
another place that's far away that you'd like to travel to?
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Well, first, I love to go to I've never been
to Fiji, so that would be first on the list
for that.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's pretty exotic. Wow.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
Yeah, Okay, I always wanted to go there, haven't been yet.
And I'd say the farthest it's either Singapore or India.
I'm not sure which is technically farther, and I think
it depends on whether you go east or west.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I guess so. Well, from Boston it would be
it would be Singapore, probably Singapore either way. Yeah, although.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Yeah, Singapore, thanks.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
For as I was way humid. The food is really good.
Indian well, I had to be.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
There, Okay. Singapore and India though, you know, never been
to Asia. That's uh, those are two countries that I'm
I've never been to. One is very very wealthy. Singapore,
if I'm not mistaken, is a very wealthy country.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Yes it is, Yeah, it was. It was a nice
trip and it was then I said, the food was
great and it was superhuman and muggy, which I love.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Okay, so you got it.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
The atmospherics were good as well. Okay, goold. Good to know,
good to know.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, I've been in places like exotic places.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I think one of the most exotic fate was Slovakia,
which I'm looking out of the map right now. We
did that tour dan and the Danube went in Slovakia, Slovakia.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
Is you went that far north?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, we did Budapest.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Then we went back north to Slovakia and then back
down to Budapest, and then that was sort of the
end of the trip. We flew back home out of
out of Budapest, but very but contiguous to Ukraine. I
didn't realize how close it was to Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
He had it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Now, I realize the world is better place. Yeah, I know.
The world is an amazing place. There's this train up
in Siberia that I would like to experience sometime. But yeah,
did she sounds.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I do?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
I think I think my parents wanted to or intended
to do that. Or they might have done it once.
I'm not sure, but yeah, that sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You bet you. Laurie is always I appreciate hearing your voice.
We'll talk soon.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Okay, good show, thank you, thank.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You very much, Thank you much. Let's keep rolling here.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
We were going to go next to one line six
one seven nine three.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
George and Bridgewater. Hey George, welcome back. How are you sir?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (23:46):
Good? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Dan fur this place to travel to George?
Speaker 11 (23:51):
That would be China, two times.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Twice to China. That had to be business. I assume
you weren't going over there for pleasure.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
No. I did all over there the first time. I
think it was two thousand and three for business. Me
and my boss. We bought a lot of grantede for
the granted store, granted countertops, so that was business. But
I also took it extra three months. During that time,
(24:20):
I met some gal and we had a good time.
We went to Hong Kong and she had a little daughter.
We went to honk this Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
So this was this was a romantic fling with a
woman from China.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
Yeah, well I had we had to have an interpreter,
so I met. Yeah, I somehow found an interpreter. She
was only nineteen years old, but she fixed me up
with with somebody. She said, why don't you stay another
three months in China. I can help you get you know,
(25:00):
an extension on your visa, And so I did that.
Well it was it was okay, but not the materialized.
But the second time I went to China was my
wife whose Chinese, for her daughter's wedding. That was just
about five years ago.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Now did you did you meet your wife in China
as well?
Speaker 11 (25:24):
I met my wife in Lexington at church.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Okay, okay, yeah, no, it didn't meet me.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
No, I met her. But you know, her daughter got married,
and when the daughter gets married, the daughter belongs to
the husband's family and he does not want to come
to America. So that's fine. You know, they have a
good life over there.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Every every culture is a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Is there another part of the world that fought further
away that you'd like to visit?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I'm I mean, China's pretty far away.
Speaker 11 (26:04):
Somebody mentioned Singapore. I would love to go to Singapore.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, before you mentioned it.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Yeah, yeah, it's it is a rich country, and it's
it's it's it's liberal and even though I'm a conservative,
But I mean, you won't run into trouble over I
don't know. You don't run into trouble in China, as
long as you keep your nose clean. I get up
(26:32):
in the morning at six o'clock, I just see everybody
rushing going to work, just like America. It's the government
that we don't like. I mean, but when I was
in the army, though Dan from sixty three to sixty six,
nineteen sixty, I went to every European country you can
think of, the scand the Navy and countries for the best.
(26:53):
So I've been really all over the world. I've been lucky.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, good for you.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
But again you you you of some time, and that's
part of the benefit of being in the military, particularly
if you're in the Navy. You get to you get
to see that, you do get to see the world.
George is always thank you much. Great here in your voice.
We'll talk again. Thanks George, have a great weekend.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Oh all right, buddy, you too, thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Thank you much.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
If I go to Ron and Newton, Ron, I know
that you have traveled to some exotic places, one in particular,
I'll be interested if that's the one, you're gonna mention, go.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Ahead, Iran?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
You couldn't get any more exotic than Iran.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
And the circumstances of you traveling there.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Ron is involved with a medical team basically grab and go,
if I can use that term medical team. Ron, where
you guys are on twenty four hour notice? Emergency team?
You went to Iran to help the Iranian people following
an earthquake?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
How that was?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
What year?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You've told me this story before, but what year were
you there?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Two O three two four.
Speaker 12 (28:02):
December twenty sixth and then that that moved into January
of two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
So, as an American, you celebrated New Year's Eve two
thousand and four in.
Speaker 12 (28:17):
Iran exactly, and we celebrated with pear juice, with carriage juice,
pier pea pear peer juice.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Oh no, because you don't you can't have alcohol.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So wow, So there was there's no alcohol.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Literally, there's no alcohol or the upper class has access
to alcohol, but the the teeming masses have to deal
with pear juice.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, yeah, that's what we had.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, I would not be drinking alcohol if I was
in Iran. I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Even if you put a course in front of me,
I'd say, no, thank you, I'm okay.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
I'm okay.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
It was.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
It was a lifetime adventure for sure. And you know
I was doing something that.
Speaker 13 (29:10):
I love to do, so.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Uh, it was.
Speaker 13 (29:14):
It was really a lifetime adventure.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Dan, Is there anywhere more exotic? I don't think there's
anywhere more exotic. If if you were unlimited funds, unlimited time,
that that you you would be intrigued to go visit.
Speaker 13 (29:32):
Well, that's a good question.
Speaker 12 (29:33):
I you know, I have always been. I was intrigued
by the Canadian Rockies back when I saw the film
that the Museum of Science and saw the building of
the Canadian Railway, and.
Speaker 13 (29:48):
I think that that. I mean, I love the mountains
to begin with. I grew up in New Hampshire, so
I think that would be exciting to do. And I
like traveling by rail, you know, you get to talk
with people, and uh, I think that would be terrific.
(30:09):
I'd take my camera and I'd be.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I wouldn't want I wouldn't want to do it in
January and February, but certainly I could be convinced summertime
travel up there.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Ron, I gotta keep rolling here. I'm coming up my
break and I got pack lines. This has been a
great topic. We've had pack lines for the entire hour.
Thank you, my friend. Have a great weekend. We'll talk soon, Okay.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
We are going right back to the phones. Who we

I'm going to push it just a little bit. What's
the furthest place, Father's Place? I have to I made
the mistake the Father's Place. You've ever traveled.
Speaker 14 (31:16):
Well, Dan, I was stationed out in the westernmost city
in the United States of America, right now adac Alaska,
which is twelve hundred miles from Anchorage, West. And when
I was out there, it was a it was a
huge naval Space PI Spy Center out there, we're looking
(31:37):
out to Russia.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Wasn't too far away, imagine you could imagine I was.
Speaker 14 (31:42):
Yeah, so I was out there in early nineteen well
actually nineteen seventy seventy one.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Okay, So where would your expire?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
What was that?
Speaker 14 (31:51):
I spent my twenty first birthday out there in Lovely Alaska.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
That's okay. That's a part of the world that you
would not have seen.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I have been to a last I've been to Hawaii,
haven't There have been states I haven't been to.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Where would you go if you unlimited funds, unlimited time?
Is there any part of the world that you definitely
got to want to see?
Speaker 14 (32:12):
Right in the USA? I do the Lincoln Highway again,
which is the first transcendental road, first road actually as
I opened up in the nineteen eleven ten twelveth right
around there. Started in New York. I went to San
Francisco and we've driven it once once and once and
a half actually, and I like to do that one
more time. It's really cool. Once it goes it hits
(32:34):
thirteen states, and it's like taking like you know, almost
like with sixty six, but it's but it's on the
same idea.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's a great one. That that's a great one, and
that's so doable. That's great.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
It is, No, it totally is.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, Hey, Bob, thank you very much. That's a great
I've never heard of the Lincoln Highway. I'm going to
go look it up and see.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
What you do.
Speaker 10 (32:52):
Check out out Oh no, no, no, it's great, and
check out AIDAK. I think AIDAK. I think they're going
to bring that. There was decommission in the nineties, but
I think they're.
Speaker 14 (32:59):
Going to bring that back. Because of the location with
Russia and China out there, I think they're going to
bring it back. Was a big base during World War Two.
I was up there during the Cold War, which was
almost six thousand people. There's only two hundred people living
out there now. They turned it into a city when
I got tea commissioned. But it's very very statistically, it's
very very cool. Actually, it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
With you all right, Hey, thanks Bob, appreciate it very much.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Talk soon. Okay, thanks buddy. Let's keep rolling here. Where

No world traveler, but I could go to Yugoslavi in
nineteen ninety posing you make a glorio. It was a
total of Yeah. It was reported to the appearing.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
That yes, I'm very familiar with Yeah, absolutely absolutely. Charlie,
thank you so much. A great positive note to end
the hour on D the Week.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
This was a great hour. This was a great hour.
There was a suggestion of Marita and I really appreciate.
It was a great hour, almost as good as brushes
with celebrity.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
My name's Dan Ray. Want to thank Rob Brooks, want
to thank Marita.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Want to thank all the callers, particularly in the in
the last hour, all the callers all we had another
great week. I'll be back on Monday. I want to
remind all of you all dogs, all cats, all pets
go to heaven. That's my pale Charlie Rays, who passed
fifteen years ago in February. That's where all your pets
are who have passed. They loved you and you love them.
I do believe you'll see them again, and I hope
(40:17):
to see again on Monday night. I'll see you if
you want on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
I with Dan Ray in just a couple of minutes.
Have a great weekend. Everyone go Patriots.
It's nice side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, we have reached the twentieth hour of the week.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I am not going to go over, as I often
do at this hour, all the different topics that we've
talked about this week. But it has been a week
of a variety of topics. And if you've been listening, great,
If not, and you've missed any hours, I would suggest
go to Nightside and demand this weekend, simple as that,
(00:29):
and review all the twenty hours that Rob has posted
this week. He will have tonight's program, in which we
had an interesting eight o'clock hour. We talked about a
real problem in the nine o'clock hour with volunteers who
have been trying to send supplies care packages overseas to
American troops who are traveled are who have been stationed
(00:53):
deployed in far away places, and there's now a United
Nations agency which is making that process to be a
little bit more different. And then last hour we talked
about whether or not Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Price.
I think he does, but I think that we'll have
to wait until next year unless they want to do
what they did with Barack Obama in three weeks into
(01:15):
his presidency, Bestowa Nobel Priest Prize from Barack Obama for
apparently I have no idea why.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But that's neither here your there, interesting calls.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Last hour, I want to thank Steve Daryl Ken from
all with him and Craig. And now we move directly
into the twentieth hour of the week, and I would
like to ask all of you, where's the farthest place you've.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Traveled in the world.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I suspect we'll get a variety of top topics or locations,
and then also if you haven't particularly traveled somewhere far,
and again we got to keep this within the world.
I don't think anyone needs to tell me they want
to travel tomorrows, because even with Elon Musk's ingenuity, I
don't think most of us in our lifetimes they're going
(02:01):
to be going to Mars or to the.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Moon for that matter.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Where would you like to go? Maybe there's some location
that really has appealed to you, so we're just going to.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Get right to it.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I will tell you that farthest place that I've traveled,
I've been North America, Central America, I guess, well islands
mostly in you know, which I would call islands in
Central Antigua and places like that, Jamaica. Maybe they're not
technically Central America, but they are, you know, in the Caribbean.
(02:34):
In Europe A bunch of times in Europe, different locations.
Love Scandinavia farthest I guess travel technically would have been
Poland back in nineteen eighty six on a work assignment.
I've never been to Africa, never been to Asia, never
been to Australia. All of those have some interest to me.
(02:56):
Never been to Asia. I would like someday to see Siberia,
to be honest with you, because I think it would
be pretty desolate. I know there's a railroad that runs
up there, the Trans Siberian Railroad, I think is what
it's called. And I have a friend of mine who
actually once traveled there and said it was fascinating.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And I also I'm looking.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Forward when I retire to do some travel on railroads
and certainly the mountains that the Canadian Rockies would appeal
to me. But I want to hear from you, So
we're just going to get to phone calls and have
some fun. This is a Friday night, and you can
address either of both of those. The farthest place you've traveled,
(03:42):
and it is fathest, it's not furthest. Fatherest refers to distance.
Furthest might refer to how what's the furthest you've read
in that book? What's the furthest you went in high
school or college? Anyway, we're ready to roll here. Let
me start it off with Joel and Natick. Joel, you
(04:04):
can tell answer either or both of those questions. Welcome back, Joel.
How are you tonight?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I'm going to find and how are you going?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'm doing very well, very well.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's it's Friday, and we're an hour away from the weekend,
and I've had a tough some sort of like upper
respiratory infection or whatever you want to call it, a flu,
my temperatures down.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I've worked the entire week, much to.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
The sagrin of my daughter, who criticized me today for
working while I was sick. But I feel I have
an obligation to work whether I'm sick or not, and
as long as I can talk, I could work.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I'm looking forward to the weekend. In a word,
let's put it like that.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Even with the bad weather coming, you know, something.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's part of living in New England, right, you know
it's it's going to be good tomorrow, and it's going
to be okay on Sunday, and I'll I'll buckle down
on Sunday night and make sure that that the it's
working if it does get really cold, hopefully it won't.
So where's the where's the fatherest you've traveled in your life?
And where would be the fathest you would like to travel?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well, the fatherest has been Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, I've been to Hawaii. I love Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's five thousand miles.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, it's a good distance, it's yeah, but it's worth
it when you get there. Joel, have you done that
more than once? Are you a regular commuder?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Once it's enough, Dan, once it's enough. Okay, too long,
too long, too long a flight. I'd better go back
to some place like Qsow or Saint Martin which the
flight's much less. Yes, and then almost in the same
time zone.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You ever been to a Ruba?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, we went to a Ruba.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yes, did you like.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I've never been to a Ruba, but people tell me
it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You recommend it.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
No, I don't recommend a rub too. Much too much customs,
really too much customs. Yeah, if you go to if
you go to Tuassau, which is part of the a
PC Islands, you have a Luba bonaire cure sow Okay,
Puss much nicer. Pius is much nicer and very sundly there.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Really.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, a few Major League baseball players have come out
of Curous by the way.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, I think bogods. Isn't bods kept from Tuasau.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think you might be right. I think you might
be right.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, there was a couple of out There was an
outfielder I forget his name with the orioles. So, so
where would So that's where you'd like to travel.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I've been, We've been there. We can go back again.
But the problem there you can't get a direct flight.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
M hmm. Well it's still it's still easier than Hawaii.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Right, that's still he's here in Hawaii. But give me
another one, Dan, Saint Martin. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, Saint Martin.
You can get a direct flight to Saint Martin.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I have some friends of mine who go to Saint
Martin every year and they really love they love the atmosphere.
And I think the fact that that they the rules
on the beaches of Saint Martin's are a little bit
more relaxed than they are here in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
If you get my.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Drift, they are on the French side, not the Dutch side.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Got youa No, you read me perfectly, Joel, you know
me too. Well.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
One other thing, Dan, Yeah, there's another island called the
Cayman Islands. Oh yeah. The problem with the Cayman Islands
is that they're more expensive because it isn't worth as
much there.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's also that's the.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Place where people, really wealthy people, as I understand that,
go to hide money.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No serious, you know that's true.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Maybe too.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'm not one of those people.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
No, I didn't say you were, but I said there
are some wealthy people who go down there. My understanding
is that the banking that Caymans are like a Swiss,
a Switzerland, the Switzerland of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
If you get my drift.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Okay, yeah, I'm not advocating that.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And I've never been to the Cayman Islands.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That I don't have enough money to probably go to
the Cayman Islands. But I'm told that that there's there's
that's a month, that's a place where people put money offshore.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Just you know that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I don't know anyone who has told me they've done it,
but that's that's what I associate with the Cayman Islands.
They have a banking system which is quite secretive. That's
what I understand, all right, Joel, those are interesting, interesting
locales you've mentioned. Let's see what other people have to think.
Thank you, my friend. Hope all is well with you
and yours. Everything good in Natick?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Same? I hope everything's well with yours too.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
All right, pal, thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Joel's your friend of mine who calls in from Nata
call more often, Joel, Thank you much. Let me keep
rolling here six one seven four ten thirty one line there?
What is the father's place you've ever traveled? And what
would be your dream trip? You know, assuming you forget
what the cost, forget the inconvenience, where would you love
(09:23):
to go?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Let me go to Joe in Lynn, Hey, Joe, welcome.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Back, Hey Dan, thank you, And I promise you before
I get into my I won't overwhelm you, but I
do have to send you an important email. Now. The
farthest place I've been and I like it is lords
in France. I was there twice. I was very lucky
to get a sponsorship. And those people are very particular.
You've got to learn their language. If you don't know it,
someone will help you. Yeah. They everything is in French,
(09:50):
at least it was when I was there. Everything It could.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Be like that anywhere in France. Doesn't have to be
lords Lord's obviously. Yeah, is the place where people believe.
Christians believe or Catholic The Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus,
appeared and.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
People people get healed. People get healed there by going
into water. I wish I did, but I did, but
I went in the bath water. Anyway. They help you.
They're very nice, very friendly, and I enjoyed it that
people were decent. I wish I had kept in touch
with these some of the people, but they're very decent,
very decent. There. It's crowded, but that's the way it is.
And it was eight eight.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Hour flight eight eight hours, yes it is.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
You have to go to Paris and that's seven to
eight hour, and then you got to take another flight
to to lose it's like two hours, so it's totally
ten hours to lose. And they'd take a.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Mushroom like five hours tops.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
No. No, I took Air France from Logan.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, I've taken I've flown that same flight and it
wasn't that long.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But where would you love to travel if.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
You I'm you know, could go anywhere money wasn't a
factor or time wasn't a factor.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Where the people are the nicest, in the kindest. I
don't know where that is, but there are some places
in this world. I don't know, you know, maybe Iceland,
I don't know. I've heard a lot of good things
about Iceland. I don't know, maybe the.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Pretty easy to get to, Joe.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
And so what's the other country that you mentioned? Did
you like? Oh, Scandinavian countries. People they are very good.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, No, Scandinavia is beautiful and again people, people are friendly.
They it's it's an amazing place. It's it's a place,
the natural beauty of Scandinavia. I spent a couple of
weeks there and very memorable couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Well, I found that one good thing they take care
of their people there, and that's so good. We should
do that here.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But well, that's truly European socialist countries.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I enjoyed those people on the other line you had
on earlier, those two women. I wish I could help them.
I would. That's disgraceful with the uins do it.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well, well, we'll try to turn that one around. You

Speaker 7 (12:34):
Okay, thanks, Bye bye, Joe, Joe.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Bye bye. Let me take a break. This is a
quick break. We'll be right back. The only line opening
six one, Well, just filled up. We'll be back on
night Side right after this.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on w Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
We're asking the simple question, what's the father's place you've
ever traveled to or what would be and you can
answer and or and or the father'st place you would
like to visit.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
We're going to go next to I Leen in CAMBRIDGEI Eileen,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You are a traveler, so I'd love to know the
fartherest place you've been.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Well, the furthest place I've been was with you when
we went to Budapest, Yes, in Hungary.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, and that might be further. That might be the
furthest place I've been to as well. To be honest
with you, I thought Poland, but as I look at
a map, it could have been Poland or Slovakia.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Well that I just have to tell you what a beautiful,
beautiful trip that was for me. And I think everyone
with European ancestry should take the Danube River cruise because
you go straight through Europe. You see so many different
(13:58):
cities and culture along the river.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Oh, I agree with you. I totally agree with you, Eileen.
I loved that trip, and I loved the idea. And
I'm just looking here. Yeah, you know, it might have
been Budapest, might have been further than Warsaw or Krakau.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Pretty close, pretty close.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Yeah, at first I thought, well, with my husband was
from East Germany and We went to Berlin. He was
from east of Berlin. He lived in Mecklenburg for palmer.
But I looked that up and that's not as far
east as Budapest.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But I'm looking at the map right now and I'm
agreeing with you.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Yeah, And I've been to a lot of places with
my husband. He loved to travel. We went to Iceland.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
That was a.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
Beautiful trip in Finland. It was a beautiful trip.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It's kind of easy. Iceland's pretty easy.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's it's much closer to us here in Boston, as
people would think. It sounds very exotic, but if anyone
wants to go to a foreign country, that's that's kind
of close by. Iceland's not bad. Reikiavik and other areas.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
Yeah, very interesting place. And we went during the summer solstice.
My husband had to see the midnight sun. So I
always remember remember that great.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Great suggestions, great suggestions and great memories. I remember that
trip dan and the Danube very very much. I would
do that one again, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Oh, I do it with you in an instance, Yeah,
there's I would like to have spent more time in Vienna, Yes, well,
I think we spent two days there but.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Wow, it's still Vienna. I remember the grand plots as well. Yep,
it's all great memories, that's for sure. Eileen's been on
several trips with me and just has been great, been
absolutely great.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
In the future, I want to explore this country more.
I want to take a tour of the Great Lakes
and I've been looking.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I got friends of mine who have done that trip
and they say it's wonderful. And you know, we may
get back on the road again next year and do
something domestically. To be honest with you, so that's a possibility.
Believe me, it's more than a possibility. So we'll see
what we come up with in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Okay, okay, Well, if I hope I can come, and
what I'll do is I'll bring a companion because I
think I think.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
You were worried about me.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
I was the oldest person ever you'd ever met, and
I was on these trips with you.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
No, no, no, you always you always. You're very independent,
and sometimes you would go off and would say where's Ileen,
And people say, we're not sure, but we always found you,
that's for sure. Talk soon, Okay, have a great week
and stay dry.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Thank you, thank you, goodnight.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Let me go to Steve in New Hampshire, Steve Father's place.
You've ever traveled to Steve?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yeah? I don't want to do get the previous power.
But I went to Hawaii twice, once on a two
weeker and once on a ten day trip. And it
was a low dough trip. But it was a lot
of fun and you know, it was a good time
in my life. I have fond memories.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Okay, where would you if you could go anywhere with
you know, time money not being a factor, because time
and money are always factors.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Where would it be?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh definitely, I like the Pyramids. I would really want
to go there, and I'm very interested in that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Would Yep. The second choice would be Octoberfest in Munich, because,
as you know, I do like beer.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Well, you know the funny thing about Octoberfest, which is
kind of inaptly named because it starts like in mid
September I believe.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Correct, September nineteenth, right around that time, I.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Believe, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I always would assume Octoberfest should be like in October,
but it's almost like it really should be called September Fest.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Well, All of my ancestors are from Germany, I mean
every single one of them, and they all ended up
in Chicago. Some of them are still buried there actually,
so I would, I would, that would be a second choice.
But either place would be a lot of fun to go,
a lot of traveling. I'm not really in the long flights,
(18:54):
you know, I don't go crazy. My legs are very
long in the as you know, the seats on these
planes are just not made for tall people.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
This is true.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
This unless you get those both, unless you get the
bulkhead seats.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, I always like, Yeah, I like, and I also like.
I don't know if they still do it, but you
you can get the front roll. You have unlimited leg room.
But I think you have to pay extra for it.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well there was a time when you could get them,
but but now I think they are charging extra. The
airlines will charge you for everything, that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Everything.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
You know. You know, A funny thing when I when
I went to Hawaii, you know, I got stuck at
the bar and at lax and I went to the
plane and they were closing the hatch. So I actually
knocked on the hatch and they reopened it let me in.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
That would have been a no no no no. Yeah.
I like to be at the gate ready to go,
and I don't like to cut it that close.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Steve, Thank you much, appreciate your you call it.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Thanks very much, Thank you. Dan, I taught you soon
only line six one seven. My name's Dan Ray. This
is Nightside. We have a half an hour ago. Where
is the farthest place you've ever traveled? And where would
be the farthest place you would like to travel? So
I said, I'd like to try that that big red train.
(20:20):
I forget the name of it. I think it's called
the Trans Siberian Railroad up in Siberia, because I kind
of imagine a more exotic place in the world.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Australia as well, because that's English speaking, and I'm sure
that it's very comfortable and very Americanized. We'll see, love
to hear from you. Join the conversation. We have full
lines right now. Hold off until we move a couple
of callers here, Okay, don't want to don't want you
to break your nails or hurt hurt your knuckles. Night
Side with Dan Ray on a on a Friday night
(20:54):
heading towards Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
If you're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w
Boston's news radio, we.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Have full lines. And let's keep rolling here. Laurie checking
in from Idah.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Laurie, where's the farthest place you've traveled and is there
another place that's far away that you'd like to travel to?
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Well, first, I love to go to I've never been
to Fiji, so that would be first on the list
for that.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's pretty exotic. Wow.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
Yeah, Okay, I always wanted to go there, haven't been yet.
And I'd say the farthest it's either Singapore or India.
I'm not sure which is technically farther, and I think
it depends on whether you go east or west.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I guess so. Well, from Boston it would be
it would be Singapore, probably Singapore either way. Yeah, although.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Yeah, Singapore, thanks.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
For as I was way humid. The food is really good.
Indian well, I had to be.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
There, Okay. Singapore and India though, you know, never been
to Asia. That's uh, those are two countries that I'm
I've never been to. One is very very wealthy. Singapore,
if I'm not mistaken, is a very wealthy country.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Yes it is, Yeah, it was. It was a nice
trip and it was then I said, the food was
great and it was superhuman and muggy, which I love.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Okay, so you got it.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
The atmospherics were good as well. Okay, goold. Good to know,
good to know.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, I've been in places like exotic places.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I think one of the most exotic fate was Slovakia,
which I'm looking out of the map right now. We
did that tour dan and the Danube went in Slovakia, Slovakia.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
Is you went that far north?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, we did Budapest.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Then we went back north to Slovakia and then back
down to Budapest, and then that was sort of the
end of the trip. We flew back home out of
out of Budapest, but very but contiguous to Ukraine. I
didn't realize how close it was to Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
He had it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Now, I realize the world is better place. Yeah, I know.
The world is an amazing place. There's this train up
in Siberia that I would like to experience sometime. But yeah,
did she sounds.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I do?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
I think I think my parents wanted to or intended
to do that. Or they might have done it once.
I'm not sure, but yeah, that sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You bet you. Laurie is always I appreciate hearing your voice.
We'll talk soon.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Okay, good show, thank you, thank.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You very much, Thank you much. Let's keep rolling here.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
We were going to go next to one line six
one seven nine three.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
George and Bridgewater. Hey George, welcome back. How are you sir?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (23:46):
Good? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Dan fur this place to travel to George?
Speaker 11 (23:51):
That would be China, two times.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Twice to China. That had to be business. I assume
you weren't going over there for pleasure.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
No. I did all over there the first time. I
think it was two thousand and three for business. Me
and my boss. We bought a lot of grantede for
the granted store, granted countertops, so that was business. But
I also took it extra three months. During that time,
(24:20):
I met some gal and we had a good time.
We went to Hong Kong and she had a little daughter.
We went to honk this Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
So this was this was a romantic fling with a
woman from China.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
Yeah, well I had we had to have an interpreter,
so I met. Yeah, I somehow found an interpreter. She
was only nineteen years old, but she fixed me up
with with somebody. She said, why don't you stay another
three months in China. I can help you get you know,
(25:00):
an extension on your visa, And so I did that.
Well it was it was okay, but not the materialized.
But the second time I went to China was my
wife whose Chinese, for her daughter's wedding. That was just
about five years ago.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Now did you did you meet your wife in China
as well?
Speaker 11 (25:24):
I met my wife in Lexington at church.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Okay, okay, yeah, no, it didn't meet me.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
No, I met her. But you know, her daughter got married,
and when the daughter gets married, the daughter belongs to
the husband's family and he does not want to come
to America. So that's fine. You know, they have a
good life over there.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Every every culture is a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Is there another part of the world that fought further
away that you'd like to visit?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I'm I mean, China's pretty far away.
Speaker 11 (26:04):
Somebody mentioned Singapore. I would love to go to Singapore.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, before you mentioned it.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Yeah, yeah, it's it is a rich country, and it's
it's it's it's liberal and even though I'm a conservative,
But I mean, you won't run into trouble over I
don't know. You don't run into trouble in China, as
long as you keep your nose clean. I get up
(26:32):
in the morning at six o'clock, I just see everybody
rushing going to work, just like America. It's the government
that we don't like. I mean, but when I was
in the army, though Dan from sixty three to sixty six,
nineteen sixty, I went to every European country you can
think of, the scand the Navy and countries for the best.
(26:53):
So I've been really all over the world. I've been lucky.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, good for you.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
But again you you you of some time, and that's
part of the benefit of being in the military, particularly
if you're in the Navy. You get to you get
to see that, you do get to see the world.
George is always thank you much. Great here in your voice.
We'll talk again. Thanks George, have a great weekend.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Oh all right, buddy, you too, thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Thank you much.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
If I go to Ron and Newton, Ron, I know
that you have traveled to some exotic places, one in particular,
I'll be interested if that's the one, you're gonna mention, go.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Ahead, Iran?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
You couldn't get any more exotic than Iran.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
And the circumstances of you traveling there.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Ron is involved with a medical team basically grab and go,
if I can use that term medical team. Ron, where
you guys are on twenty four hour notice? Emergency team?
You went to Iran to help the Iranian people following
an earthquake?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
How that was?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
What year?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You've told me this story before, but what year were
you there?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Two O three two four.
Speaker 12 (28:02):
December twenty sixth and then that that moved into January
of two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
So, as an American, you celebrated New Year's Eve two
thousand and four in.
Speaker 12 (28:17):
Iran exactly, and we celebrated with pear juice, with carriage juice,
pier pea pear peer juice.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Oh no, because you don't you can't have alcohol.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So wow, So there was there's no alcohol.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Literally, there's no alcohol or the upper class has access
to alcohol, but the the teeming masses have to deal
with pear juice.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, yeah, that's what we had.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, I would not be drinking alcohol if I was
in Iran. I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Even if you put a course in front of me,
I'd say, no, thank you, I'm okay.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
I'm okay.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
It was.
Speaker 4 (29:05):

Uh, it was.
Speaker 13 (29:14):
It was really a lifetime adventure.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Dan, Is there anywhere more exotic? I don't think there's
anywhere more exotic. If if you were unlimited funds, unlimited time,
that that you you would be intrigued to go visit.
Speaker 13 (29:32):
Well, that's a good question.
Speaker 12 (29:33):
I you know, I have always been. I was intrigued
by the Canadian Rockies back when I saw the film
that the Museum of Science and saw the building of
the Canadian Railway, and.
Speaker 13 (29:48):
I think that that. I mean, I love the mountains
to begin with. I grew up in New Hampshire, so
I think that would be exciting to do. And I
like traveling by rail, you know, you get to talk
with people, and uh, I think that would be terrific.
(30:09):
I'd take my camera and I'd be.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I wouldn't want I wouldn't want to do it in
January and February, but certainly I could be convinced summertime
travel up there.

which is the first transcendental road, first road actually as
I opened up in the nineteen eleven ten twelveth right
around there. Started in New York. I went to San
Francisco and we've driven it once once and once and
a half actually, and I like to do that one
more time. It's really cool. Once it goes it hits
(32:34):
thirteen states, and it's like taking like you know, almost
like with sixty six, but it's but it's on the
same idea.

Russia and China out there, I think they're going to
bring it back. Was a big base during World War Two.
I was up there during the Cold War, which was
almost six thousand people. There's only two hundred people living
out there now. They turned it into a city when
I got tea commissioned. But it's very very statistically, it's
