Simple.. answer the question, and give your reasons :)

My girlffriend and I are heading overseas next April.
We are thinking Thailand but there has been some violence there in the past week.

HOWEVER the year after we are planning to do a tour through Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil for 29 days.
So many cool things Machu Picchu, Inca Trail trek, Lake Titicaca, Amazon Jungle.
Go to geckoadventures.com - it is the Quito to La Paz tour. SWEET!

I live in Perth Australia and my girlfriend is from Seattle so obviously seeing PJ there would be mint as well
I had it all once I gave it back

    I would just like to go on a 3-4 day hike into the middle of nowhere. Just get away from it all for a bit.

    Paris
    I've never been (yet) and that would be one of my life's dreams come true. I took French in high school and I've wanted to go ever since.

    also-
    for a tropical type of vacation, I would like to go back to Barbados. It's gorgeous.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    galapagos islands - shouldn't have to explain this one. :)
    new zealand - complexity of landscapes, lifestyle, the people
    croatia - meet crocrop, explore the beautiful coastline
    finland - spent one day there in helsinki...have been aching to go back ever since.
    aran islands - missed out when i was in ireland. it would be nice to find some peace and quiet there...when there aren't too many tourists, like me. :D
    japan - just to do some exploring of the culture and way of life, then take in a big mixed martial arts show!

    Well, I do want to start travelling once the kids graduate HS... Ive been waiting to do that since I graduated high school. I definately want to extensively travel Italy... yah never know I could be an heiress to a vineyard there! {Will tell later Great Grandma's Passionate Love Story:News at 10} Although I was just, telling some folks of my greatest wishes when it comes to travel. The I would like to visit as many cultural/art museums as possible all over the world. The second is that I wish to someday bring my "nirvanic half of my perfect circle" to Rome and throw coins into Trevi Fountain with him. I keep this dream/goal sitting on my kitchen table in the form of a holographic crystal (of the fountain) as a reminder that "we" (whomever he is) will make it there someday!!! :)

    I have never been to Greece, but I have seen a lot of photos or movie clips from Greece.
    And being 1/2 Greek it would be nice to go there.
    Also, I currently have a thing for Greek men so it would be an awesome experience all in all....
    execpt every Greek movie I have seen shows someone riding a donkey in the mountains and I do not want to do that. A horse maybe, idk..........but no donkey......

    hey how many years you got left? I will go to Italy with you if you go to Greece with me. And then we can find you some hot Italian dude and some sensitive/moody passionate Green eyed Greek guy and we both will have made the dream come true........

    My lady and I spent 9 days in Vegas and what a great time we had, didn't bet a penny I can proudly say. So someplace hot like Moroco and with the children Egypt.
