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?

I really really want to do this one day. Do you have a guide set up?

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.

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.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • 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.
