I Really want to return to Eruope, this time to visit Southern and Western Europe, places like Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the UK. I would loev to make it a very long trip (a month or more in each of those) but that seems unlikely.
I would really recommend Bocas del Toro to anyone who likes their vacations to be of the Carribean paradise type. It is one hour by plane from Panama city (accessible by most major airlines) and it will be cheap. If you come form the US, no need to change money, and if you come form the US and Europe, no visa issues. Crystal clear waters, great snorkeling and some surfing, and 10 bucks for a Fresh lobster!

I like vacation talk.
I really want to go to the Yucatan and Belize. See some ruins, drink some beer, SCUBA, snorkel, do nothing...
One day I will make it to Spain too, that would be kewl.
Azzazel: you should come to California. Lots of wilderness, lots of wild, lots of beaches, lots of desert....
Think Tahoe, Yosemite, Napa, Sequoia, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, LA, San Diego, Malibu, Venice Beach, Monterey, Pismo, Santa Cruz, San Francisco
Lots of fun to be had...!

Resurrecting this one from the ashes...
When Laura and I go on vacations, there is usually a "theme" or an event that we base the vacation around - we're not the sort of people to say "let's go to the beach and bum around": We vacation with purpose!
About 5 years ago, we went on a vacation that had two goals in mind: seeing some friends that we've met on the internet, and Washington DC. We first drove to Williamsburg, VA and met a woman that I knew over the 'net, then to DC for about 5 days, then we drove to Columbus, OH to meet somebody that Laura knew.
In 2000, we went on a 2 week vacation that had as its theme(s) Ivy League Colleges, the Republican National Convention, and Revolutionary War sites. We drove to Philadelphia (actually Princeton, NJ) and spent a number of days there doing the standard touristy stuff, plus we were able to visit the campuses of the U. of Penn., and, of course, Princeton. I even got into the convention, hopped on some computer, and snuck a post onto the 'Poly boards. We then travelled to Boston, MA (stopping at Yale for lunch - God is that place stuck in the middle of a craptacular city), where we pretty much did the same as in Philly - go to a bunch of Rev. War sites (Concord/Lexington, Breed and Bunker Hills, the Tea Party, Paul Revere's home, etc) and colleges (MIT, Harvard, Boston College). I tried to meet Mao and MLeonard, but they were too young to be let out of Mommy's house w/o supervision.  We also once ate lunch at Cheers.
This past week we spent some time in Cleveland for the Buffy convention.

Let's see...these are the countries I have visited: Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, USA, and Mexico.
Generally I enjoyed my visits to those countries. I still like going to Italy a lot. After Singapore, it's the country I've been to most often 
I'd still like to go to Spain and Portugal. I'm thinking of going to Portugal for Euro 2004.
Ireland and Canada seem cool too, and I definitely want to see more of the US than I currently have. I've only been to California, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida.
I definitely want to go to the North East area (esp. Boston, New York, Washington).
Certain Eastern European cities appeal to me as well, like Prague and Budapest...

I have nearly no memories of my travel in the US east coast when I was 5, except that Bayous are a scary place for kids, and I was sick in NY
Spain -Andalusia to be precise- is heaven for the night owl. The nightlife there is absolutely terrific, with everybody eating on the restaurants' terraces at midnight  OTOH, I have no significant memories of Portugal.
Norway is a great place in summer, if you don't mind rain and wind. Amazing landscape, wilderness as much as you want, nice people
Yucatan rules if you don't stay in Cancun. In inner Mexico, Aztec ruins are a must see : If you go to Teotihuacan out of the tourist's season with a good guide, it is a memory that'll never fade  I didn't find Mexico city interesting at all though. Nice markets there, but that's all.
I spent two weeks in Los Angeles and San Diego. The only interesting thing there was my brother, and San Diego's zoo. Otherwise, there is no reason for me to go to these cities ever again (as a tourist, I really hate Los Angeles - San Diego is better IMHO)
Greece rules Sunny weather, beautiful landscape + beautiful architecture (not only ruins : current villages are sweet  ). And the greeks are the ones who know how to do Feta Cheese. If you ever go to Greece, go to Cefalonia Island, near Corfou. This place is nearly unknown to tourists, and it' absolutely great
Venice is overrated.
And obviously, I spend most of my holidays in Paris. A really good city to visit and to experience. Beautiful and interesting place, with a very nice nightlife and daylife

Spain: Great place, but it is very hot there in May. It seems like everybody smokes there...even in a BOOKSTORE. I'll never forget the guy smoking in a bookstore.

Let's see I've been to BC, Alberta, saskatchewan, every US state west of the Mississippi and majority east of it, Baja (north and south), Sonora, Sinaloa, Quintana Roo, Panama, Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Greece, Macadonia, Yugoslavia, Italy (north only), Germany, England, and I've been right on the border looking into Albania, Yukon territory, and Cambodia.
I have a map on my cubical wall at work with red marks on countries I've been to and blue marks for where I really want to visit. Eventually I want to see the world turned red.
