The wonderfully talented George Clooney is starring in the upcoming flick "The American," a story that follows the life of an assassin named Jack. It's really a classic love story: Jack camps out in Italy after a rather harsh job in Sweden. He meets a chick named Clara whom he falls in love with while making this strange weapon for a mysterious contact. But he risks his life, as well as Clara's, by coming out of the shadows again.

I'd make my way to Ko Samui, Thailand. You know, work on my tan while I lay low.

George Clooney is the kind of guy who makes plants cooler...so it would be sweet if he and I hid out at the Seed Ark in Spitsbergen, Norway. Keeping Earth's veggies cool and looking so at the same time.

I would run all the way to Sesriem, Namibia. There's nobody out there but some tourists.

There's a lovely little cargo ship that sails French Polynesia and the South Pacific...I think I'd hop on for a while and cruise my troubles away!

I'd hide out in the jungles of Southeast Asia, like some Japanese did.

I'd have to go to Valencia, Spain. If you're going to hide out for a stretch, you might as well make it a place thats comfortable and beautiful. Good spanish food can't hurt either.

Gettysburg Pennsylvania, its the last place to look for a high class assassin and yet for an American trained killer it has a certain dramatic mood and raw beauty to it. The perfect place to ponder one's next career choice.

I would go to japan and get in good with the yakuza. I'm sure they would be cool with an agent gone rogue.

I'd pretend to be a climate specialist or a technician and hide out in Antarctica for a year or two.
Why, you ask?
- You'd be able to see EVERYONE coming at you (it's a small base).
- It's not like the bad guys could drive over to get you. Isolation has its privileges.
- If worse comes to worse, you could always have Federal Marshall Kate Beckinsale back you up with some firepower and killer abs (e.g. the movie "Whiteout").

I would hide out at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, because vengeful spirits ain't got nothing on a bad ass assassin like me.

If you are trying to hide, you need to be on the move and need places to hide out and have fun as well.
I would head my way down to Koblenz Germany where I can travel down the Mosel/Rhine and sip on some great Reasling or at least get some great German Beer and Food. I can go south on the Mosel and hit France and the Black Forest or hang in Baden-Baden (soo nice they named it twice). Then I can go down the Rhine when bored and that would take me all the way to Austria with side trips to Bondensee or Munich when bored. And if I am a cool international spy, I can always rent a Porsche and fly down the autobahn headed to Garmisch-Partenkirchen if I really want to hide away. Seems like the place for me!

I would camp out at the Jersey Shore. Everyone knows that assassins are too cool, too smart, and too mature to be caught dead there (literally).

No doubt about it. If I had to lay low for a while. I would head to Zihuatanejo. If it was good enough for Andy Dufresne and Red after they got out of Shawshank, I guess that I would be good enough for me.

Revillagigedo island is where I would go for 2 reasons:
1. Nobody and I mean nobody heard of this place except for the few who lives there.
2. Peaceful and beautiful with so much to see and wonder.
Someday when I retire I plan to live there but I guess if I needed to I could go there sooner.
Thanks!
