How much interest do you wanna charge? I'm pretty desperate here, haha.

Anyone out there in TPR Land care to pay for me to go on the Combo trip and set up some payment plans so I can pay you back? I'll love you forever and ever and ever!!!

Done! I love doing these types of surveys.

I think that is a GREAT idea! I try to take my Mom to every Mini-Golf course that we can find, and like Erik said, it's near impossible to try and plan it out cause you can never find anything out about them.

I had Voyage ranked #3, with #1 being El Toro (SFGAdv) and #2 being my favorite steel.

So bummed I can't make it for all of this awesomeness! Now that that I've somewhat got all my financial garbage under control, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next year.

I'm using Firefox and the page loaded almost instantly for me. I was trying to scroll down the page as fast as I could to see if I could beat it, but it was too fast to load. Looks and works great on my end!

Another great update! I too, love aquariums. Thanks for sharing. This is one of, if not my favorite captioned updates that you've done yet. Especially these two! I seriously laughed out loud. My roommate thinks I'm nuts.

I can agree with that! This thing looks amazing! I have never been on a cruise and never even really had any interest in it. Then the new Disney ships came along, and now we have this beautiful thing! I really didn't think I could use any vacation time without visiting parks, but this changes the whole game. Thanks for sharing, Robb! I can't wait to see more.

I've tried to run for years and always get sick of it. I usually make it about 2 weeks and just give up. Well, I have let myself get so out of shape and that I am completely unhappy with my body and the way that I feel. So... I have been running for about 2 months now. The first day that I ran I started out at about 1.5 miles I then found a St. Patty's Day 5k that I'm going to run which gave me more drive and motivation. I then worked my way up to 5k, which was taking me a while to run/jog. For the past couple of weeks or so I set a goal of getting my 5k time under 32:00. Tonight, I reached another one of my goals. I got my 5k time under 30 minutes. 29:13 to be exact. I'm super excited! I have been pushing myself through the 5k to hit my goal time, then I bump the speed down and jog till I hit 5 miles. I now plan to run the St. Patty's Day 5k in March, the Warrior Dash in July, and then the Crim 5k in August. Having these lined up has given me motivation, something to strive for, and I am now excited about running. I have been feeling MUCH better! I am steadily losing weight, my back doesn't hurt anymore, and I have a lot more energy. Besides feeling good, getting in shape, and staying healthy, my goal for doing this is to run a Disney 1/2 Marathon. I hope to share my first experience with some of you!

Let's see... - I've broken my ribs twice (Both while snowboarding.) - Broke my left wrist (Playing street hockey) - Cracked my tailbone twice (Snowboarding & skateboarding) - Broken several toes (All at different times. All for dumb reasons.) - Broke two bones in my left foot (Ladder fell on my foot at work) - Broke three fingers (At different times. Punching things is NOT smart!) - Broke bones in my right hand (At different times. Same as above!) - Broke my nose (Baseball. Line drive to the face while pitching) - Worst of all even though it wasn't a break. I tore a bunch of muscles, ligaments, and tendons in my left ankle. OUCH!!! (Skateboarding)

11/20 Ouch!

Another great update, Big Mike! I think your TR's are perfect the way they are. I also enjoy the Friends and Family photos too. Although, I'd like them a lot more if I was in them! Sounds like we may actually cross paths again this summer, though. I wouldn't change a thing. I think it's fun to see everyone having fun on the trips and I'm sure those people love to see their photos as well. I know I love stumbling across photos of myself that other people have taken on trips.

Done! These were my top 10... 1. El Toro (SFGAdv) 2. Favorite Steel (Katun: Mirabilandia) 3. The Voyage (Holiday World) 4. Thunderhead (Dollywood) 5. Ravine Flyer II (Waldameer) 6. Avalanche (Timber Falls) 7. Ozark Wildcat (Celebration City) 8. Kentucky Rumbler (Beech Bend) 9. Phoenix (Knoebel's) 10. Renegade (Valleyfair!) My bottom 10... they don't matter. That's why they're at the bottom!

Well, I'm pretty sure that I have dedicated every 100th post to TBMRS so far, so I thought it would only be appropriate if I dropped by to leave my 700th as well. Hope all is well in the land of Big Mike, and I can't wait for the next update!

^ That is indeed awesome!

^^ Larry, I think that giant vending machine was just outside the exit of BOB.

What a great end to a great TR of an even greater trip! I loved Efteling. Thanks for sharing all of these, Joey. I love being able to relive the trip by going through everyone's photos. I'm pretty sure my roommate is about ready to smash my computer cause all I do is show him everyone's photo's from the trip, haha. I can't believe it's been about 7 months already. It seriously feels like it was a month ago that we were on this trip. Of course I did! I couldn't wait for my roommate on the trip to pass the hell out so I could enjoy myself some nice Dutch TV, haha.

Big Mike, I would like to enter the contest because my favorite part of The Big Mike Road Show is that it's the best thread on TPR. EVER!!! - Brian

^ Or at least make a return next Holiday season!

This looks awesome! I think it's a great idea. Can't wait to start rating! You guys never cease to amaze!

I finally had a chance to go through and get all caught up on your TR. You've got some awesome photos and some funny captions! Europa and Phantasialand are now two of my favorite parks. Europa may even be my favorite! There's not much that I wouldn't do to be able to do the whole trip all over again. Good times! Looking forward to your Efteling update!

What great memories of a great bus ride! I was really concerned that it was going to be a hellish and annoying bus ride, but I was wrong. It was really fun and it was even more funny! What an amazing trip! Can't wait to see the rest of your photos. Here is a nice American's perspective of the bus ride. Are you nice?

I GOT A BAG OF CRAP!!! My roommate went out to get the mail today and told me that I got a big envelope. I just assumed it was some junk mail or stuff from some bill collector. I walked out in the kitchen and thought "Damn, that looks like it's from TP... HOLY $#!&, I got a Bag of Crap!!!". I'll post the details along with some photos in the next couple of days. For now though, It's off to night night land. Gotta work in the morning.
