Where do you want to travel to next?
I'm thinking the next international destination I'm going to go to will be Spain. I'd love to go there next summer for the running of the bulls plus a little trip to Ibeza. I've seen most of the rest of Europe but Spain is still virgin territory for me. Where do you plan on visiting next and why?

I thought about Australia, but it's so freakin' far away. It would have been nice to do that when I was in the navy. But in the navy we really never had time to see all the sights anyways. I was lucky to get 2 nights off.
Well I have vacation coming up, but I won't be going anywhere myself. I have some relatives coming in. They want to see Death Valley and Sequioa national park (or is it a forest?). I will take them there.
I really don't plan on going anywhere myself anytime soon.

Boshko: Thailand is well worth the visit. I spent six weeks there and I still didn't feel like I'd seen everything; there was just that many ancient ruins, temples, war sights, forests, and parks. Not to meantion the food, the people, and the great deals on Silk & Jewlery.
Victor: I've never been to Romania either but I hear it is one of the great undiscovered (relatively) destinations in Europe. I'd love to go to Dracula's Castile, hike in the Carpathian mountains, and visit the many medieval Churches.

Edinburgh. Three friends and I are taking the train up there to see the city and for me to visit the university. A fun mini-break of learning, drinking, shopping, and drinking away from school in October.
The only sucktacular thing is that the earliest train we could get that gets us up in time for the uni visiting day gets in at half ten at night. *sigh* that destroys our plan to see some of the city before seing the uni.

Italy, somewhere in late october I think. I'll be visiting some friends in Bologna. Does anyone know where I can find the cheapest offers to get there? So far, the cheapest one I've found is 140 euro's (including airport taxes etc.) for a return flight to Pisa (with Basiqair). Bergamo would be cheaper, but it's almost impossible to get to and from there with the flight schedule they have.

The land of the Engles. Most likely next fall to study for a semester.
Before that, though, I'm prolly heading to Florida for a weekend, Montreal for spring break, and hopefully Amsterdam during the summer.

Before moving to Russia (and potentially the Ukraine) for my uni, trips to Germany (to see a friend at Bonn uni), Turkey (to see some of his friends) and Australia (to see another friend at Brisbane uni) are almost for definite.

Yeah that's what I've heard. I've run into so many people that've either been there or are planning to go there. About how expensive is it? Still have my college loans looming...

I'm kicking around the notion of going to Belize early next year... There or Costa Rica...
Probably going to Conneticuttt next month.
Should be going to Vegas too, but I think I have a convention up in SF.

It's a great time of year to go to Chicago.
I have two trips that I've been toying with. The first is a Munich, Berlin, Poland, St. Petersburg, Moscow trip. The second is an East Asia trip hitting Japan, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
Both would be 3 or 4 week trips. Either is a lot to do in 3 or 4 weeks, especially since I like to take it easy while travelling. Maybe I'll cut out some areas/cities.

Ham is yummy. Do they serve lots of ham in Spain?  I also love seafood.

I went back in 1998 when the Asian economic crisis was still depressing local currencies so it was very cheap. Still five years is a long time so prices have likely changed. As I recall out side of Bangkock my five friends and I could eat a site down meal for around $6-$8 for all of us. Imported liquor cost more of course but the prices were still pretty good if you bought the locally made versions of western brands; for instance a 22 oz heiniken bottle would go for something like $0.30 and the local beer could be bought for under $0.20 per 22 oz bottle.

I can confirm Barcelona being a seafood city. I hate seafood, and struggled to find things I wanted to eat.
Next place I'd like to visit... probably NZ. But that probably won't happen for a few years, considering the expense and the fact that I figure I'd need to take 2 weeks off (min) to do it without feeling rushed.
My gf and I are pondering going to a guest ranch out in Colorado or Wyoming for our next vacation.
