A poll -> it's over there on the right ->
I haven't travelled anywhere further than a day's car ride for a couple of years and I have the urge to go long even though I hate long plane rides, but who doesn't you say, and I say, but I really really hate them and I can't sleep on a plane, hell I can't sleep in my own bed and if you know what time it is right now then you know I ain't lyin'. On the low hanging fruit of foreign destinations there are Italy and Spain that I haven't visited yet. But I feel like climbing for some higher fruit. I would add Australia/New Zealand but I think they are too far for the time and money I can afford these days. Japan or Tibet is pushing that envelope, but I really want to go there even if I'll need sedatives to survive the flight. I had the fortune of flying business class to Korea for work and what a difference that makes over coach. 7 course meals, hot towels, big seats that recline 172 degrees. Iceland and Scotland have the benefit of relatively shorter flights. And Russia, well I might want to go there before we start Cold War 2. So I put my fate in the hands of you, Intrepid Reader. I promise to send postcards.

I voted for Scotland and I'll tell you why. Shorter flight, amazingly beautiful country, and the people will treat you like family. The other places are great choices, too, and I would also like to see those places before I die.
I hope to be hitting Europe within the next six months and I'm going through angst just on which countries to visit there. I'm leaning more towards Germany, France, Italy, Greece. The romantic places first. Plus, I have family in Munich.
Australia and New Zealand would be grand, too, and you could do them in one trip. Different countries for different reasons; what is your most overriding desire to accomplish on this trip???
I would suggest Scotland, drink some good ales, make friends in the pubs, and see country that leaves you in awe. Happy trails!
My friends just went to Iceland for a weekend (yeah, weird). The pictures were fantastic and the flight was short. Plug in your Bjork and enjoy the ride.
If you visit Scotland, check out my families castle for me up on Loch Ness...McBean. Say hi to Nessy for me.
That would be "family's castle"...English teacher!
Man(she whines). *I* was gonna make the Bjork comment. All of those places sound damn cool, Bubba.
