I think some folks in NZ may have a thing or two to say about that.
Now that you tasted it, still sure about that?

nothing concrete, i just booked tickets during the united partner sale in Feb, haven't really done any serious planning yet, just researched my options. was trying to convince a friend to come, but it didn't work out. as far as my references go, i met up with a fellow DDFer for an Abu Dhabi trip and that worked out excellently (http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=52483.0). i don't mind going myself but when i read the law that to leave town you're obligated to carry a gun (i own a gun in Michigan), i decided maybe i should look for someone to join...
PS, i took advantage of united's one free stopover and open Jaw to make the most out of my trip, heres the itinerary
7/27 LCY-EDI (avios)
7/27 ABZ - CPH
7/28 CPH - ATH
7/29 ATH-IST-OSL-LYR
7/31 LYR-OSL-LHR
i've wanted to visit all the above cities and only have a week off
i'm london based as of now. anyone is welcome to join for the whole trip, or only the longyearbyren part.

Man-eating Polar Bears.

FTFY :P

Polar bears are supposedly the only animal that will hunt humans for food.

I believe you actually need to have a rifle not just a gun.

No polar bears in Monsey.

Quote from: Wikipedia link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard#Nature
Polar bears are the iconic symbol of Svalbard, and one of the main tourist attractions.[100] While protected, anyone outside of settlements is required to carry a rifle to kill polar bears in self-defence, as a last resort, should they attack;[101] a British schoolboy was killed by a polar bear in 2011.[102] Svalbard and Franz Joseph Land share a common population of 3,000 polar bears, with Kong Karls Land being the most important breeding ground.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
