Taking A Little Trip?
Gina and I have canceled our original honeymoon plans. We're heading here, to Sealand, for a nice vacation, unless the local ruler mistakes our visit as an overture to war and incarcerates us for a couple of weeks.
While it sounds like some sort of Disney theme park ride, or a cheap knockoff of Shamu's digs, Sealand is actually an abandoned British World War II-era sea fort that, 40 years ago, seemed like an inviting place to Roy Bates, who promptly set up a sovereign nation and declared himself Prince. Wacky ol' Sealand has stood the test of time and at least a few invasions, I'm sure, and even a fire, and now it's making new headways in the realm of secure Internet hosting.
So, those of you who may aspire to visit every nation, or at least continent - what are you going to do about this place?
