I'd sneak on a USO tour plane & go all over to the places they go visiting our troops & doing things to make the day special for them. :)

1. Finland
2. Great Britain
3. Iraq

------------

1. Finnish Metal! I really want to see Nightwish and Sonata Arctica in concert at their native land!
2. I don't know why, I just always wanted to go to Britain
3. I want to see how our troops are doing and tell them they're doing a great job in person!

I rate countries and places based on their hunting and fishing. Going back to Africa is tops on my list, Buff, leopard, and sable. I'd go back to Canada as I have a taste for moose and ,bou. NZ appeals to me, stag, elk, wild sheep species. Costa Rica for fishing of numerous species, "I throw back trophy fish". I'd brave much instability in S/E Asia/Europe for wild sheep. Maybe Russia for Brown Bear.....you get the picture.

I never much liked going anywheres unless I could hunt somthing.

scotland....my uncle is buried there...KIA Aug. 44

Then, Normandy, at what used to be Juno beach, and retrace the steps that  another uncle took.
Just so I can match up the places to the stories he told me.

While I was in the Army I went to Panama, Saudi, Iraq, Germany and Spain. Also took a couple of trips without an M-16 to Canada and Mexico.

These days the wife and I vacation in Brazil because that's where she is from and we spend time with her family, and have one hell of a great time at Carnival.

My 2009 vacation I want to go to Scotland and Norway. That's my ancestry. The wife is fine with this. She actually lived in London for a couple of years in the late 90's and likes that part of the world.

So as long as I keep waking up every morning we should be in that part of the world in late spring to early summer of '09.

TxMom, we would love to have you over here, but I have to admit the first thing I thought of when I read "Iraq" was the scene from "The Quest for the Holy Grail" when they said they did not want to go to Camelot, "It is a silly place".  You have to put Iraq into a funny context, cannot take anything too seriously here... :lol
For me, I just want to go back to the house, relax with my wife, take a nice long bath, drink a beer and enjoy being home.  74 days and a wake up baby and I am done with this place for fourteen months.  WOOT!

I'd like to see Normandy and follow the route taken to Berlin by the Allies. I'd also like to drive part of Germany and Switzerland on a bike.

I've been to Panama but would like to go back on a pleasure trip for more fantastic scuba diving. Mexico has no thrill for me, I've been there and have the T-shirt. It's no longer the inexpensive place to go anymore.

I'd also like to see parts of Japan.

My real dream is to dive iron bottom bay in Truk lagoon. To see the history of that place would be fantastic.

I'd also like to see Alaska with our RV for a season. Fuel prices and the fact that we'd have to drive through Canada make that a dim possibility.

Why do you say that?   I've always wanted to go there.  A few places on my list of German destinations  Munich, Laboe, Berlin

I'm with 44... I don't think it's at all overrated.
I lived there for a while, and loved every minute of it.  :aok
Maybe being there all the time makes you see the wonderful things about it as normal instead of wonderful.


I guess it would suck to be Italian.  When you hear songs like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRhIc11b6m0 you'd know they're talking about bird-poop or gum stuck on your shoe instead of imagining that it's something totally swoony.

Amsterdam was fun and I'd like to go back to the Netherlands but I'm going to have to go with:

back home to the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina because I still haven't found anywhere in the world that can truly compete.
