    Wow I with I could go on a proper vacation... I do want to go on a hiking trip somewhere near here, spend two-three days in the forests outside the city. I think that's my plan for a vacation, I'll do that after my exams.

    But if I had the money, I'd definitely go to Italy or Ireland to tour / hike / bike.

    I'm travelling around Europe for 4 months next year! It's only been recently decided, and I'd absolutely love to see Italy and Greece. Has anyone got any suggestions of places I MUST see when there!?

    Germany :D
    London is pretty cool.
    Amsterdam
    Prague
    I heard Greece and Cyprus is very beautiful

    Oh yes, I definitely want to see Amsterdam!! I just googled Prague - it looks beautiful! Ahh so many places D:

    Cyprus is very beautiful I live there. I went to Italy for my holiday this year. I'd been before but this time we went to Venice and it was by far my favourite Italian city. But I like Milan to and reccomend the trains to get about. Very efficient.

    I might get a weekend in Greece later in the year. I like the Cyclades islands but might try Crete next time.

    I had the best holiday of my life in Cuba. I'm constantly daydreaming about another trip somewhere more tropical though. Like maybe the Maldives or another trip to the Red Sea.

    For our Silver wedding Hubby and I want to go to the hotel owned by Benny and Bjorn from Abba - has anyone ever been there?

    Otherwise that orient Express trip ticks a few boxes:smile:

    I live in Maine and we're the vacation state so I don't go too far this summer since it's gorgeous here! In October, it's all about Vegas baby!

    My favourites have been Oslo, Venice, Lisbon, Iceland, Nice, Berlin (well, and London but I live there so not sure it counts :P). I personally hated Greece but only went to Athens (which was scary IMO) but I think the islands would be better :)

    In a couple of weeks we are taking a summer Euro-trip: Prague-Bratislava-Budapest-Zagreb-Dubrovnik-Montenegro. All in 10 days but we like to be busy on holiday!

    Later in the year, I hope to go to either Canada, South America or Japan but we'll see :)

    Being from the US, I just want to experience all the sights there are to see HERE!

    Two years ago I had quite an adventure Jeeping with my B/F in the Rockies in Colorado-some BEAUTIFUL sights that most will never see as you have to have 4 wheel drive and nerves of steel to get to some of the mountain tops! Then it was on to Moab, UT for another five days of Jeeping-although the scenery was pretty-spending an entire day trying to get to the top of a rock without rolling our vehicle was not my idea of fun.

    In three weeks we will be taking off to Florida for a week on the beach-can't wait! (Better not be raining!) And experience my first NASCAR race!

    Then in August my daughter an I will be camping on the shores of Lake Michigan at Sleeping Bear Dunes. I have always wanted to go there. She's been there and said it is gorgeous. Myself personally I can't wait to spend a week doing nothing but soaking up the sun and hiking!

    Reading some of these replies really has me excited and ready to start planning for next year! Costa Rica is on my radar....

    We've run into bad service, beggars, sullen natives, bad weather, pickpockets, con artists- the whole gamut- and we love every vacation we've ever taken.

    I think this is something you learn when you travel and more importantly, when you have motivation to see the world. Well, it certainly was for me. When I first came to the UK from sunny, relatively clean Australia, I thought London was disgusting. Went to Paris and thought it was worse (and funnily enough, therefore ended up spending one of the days of our weekend away at Euro-disney). But then I moved here and now it's my home and I love it. I since have travelled a lot (25 countries or so, most continents) and now I think we've learned to have a different attitude when we travel because we want to experience the world (culture as well as just 'sights') and some things you can't experience with perfectly clean toilets etc.

    I want to go everywhere! Literally, everywhere. Actually I lied, not Africa. So almost everywhere. Next year my boyfriend and I are going to the cayman islands, I'm pretty excited about that.

    were going home to see family like we always do once a year. Not really a vacation, more work than anything else. Would like to go to Germany, England or Australia. Been to Naples and Rome Italy and also Madrid Spain. Both very nice places I wouldn't mind going back to.

    Me going on vacation is always a bad idea.

    I went to Birmingham in August 2011 and riots started while I was there.
    I went to Manchester last September and a cop killer (killed two policewomen) was on the loose.

    In a few weeks I'm flying to Istanbul and things are already looking ... idyllic.

    I have friends in the US who have told me to please stay away, though one friend from San Francisco suggested I visit Los Angeles. I question her motive though. :tongue:

    Please don't come to the North East, and stay away from Virginia for the next month too, lol!! :laugh:

    We already took our vacation for the year. We went to Disney World & Universal Studios for the first time back in April. It was the most amazing vacation ever! We drove to FL from Northern NY (about a 22 hour drive). It was a really awesome experience and I can't wait to go back some day!

    - Leh in northern India
    - New Zealand is just beautiful
    - Raileh beach in Thailand
    - Trekking and rafting along the Thai-Burmese border
    - Istanbul city break
    - Lebanon! Vineyards, roman ruins, awesome seafood, Hezbollah museum!
    - Varkala beach in southern India
    - San Francisco and Santa Barbara city breaks

    I'm going to Orange Beach (Alabama) the last week of this month. Bonus: it's a "working vacation" paid for by the State. Free Condo on the beach, plus per diem.

    We are going to San Francisco in July. I am so excited, my inner hippie & foodie is going nuts!

    Next year, Hawaii.

    Then I want to see NYC and New Orleans. I want to go to England, Ireland, Norway, Germany, Amsterdam, Italy and Greece at some point too. And I'd love to go back to Spain.

    Bahamas! Hoping for my brother,sister and their families to go as well as for my husband's family to spend time with our son. It will be a nice BIG family vacation! My husband is from the Bahamas so it's the best of both worlds. I can't wait for my son to experience life in the Bahamas. Knowing we have a vacation picked out helps with the motivation to get my *kitten* moving!!
