Do I really have to pick one place? If I had to pick one place, it would probably be to visit a good friend in Germany.

Then there's the Galapagos. And Easter Island. Bhutan. I want to ride the horses in Mongolia and Spain. I want to go to the Keys and adopt a Hemingway cat. Mexico would be fun. Next summer I'll be kayaking with the whales in Quebec.

I'd like to do ecotourism, where I go and volunteer for something like help comb the beach for baby turtles:

Me? I've been longing for a trip to Hawaii for some time now, but we're saving for a house. <HR>

I'll let you know how it is when we are there next week

we are going on our honeymoon next week. A week in Maui and a couple of days on Lanai

There are so many, but if I have to choose one.

Blackberry Farm - Walland, TN

My wife and I have talked about it because we both love the country atmosphere. We would definitely have to save big time for it, but all meals are included in the price. We wouldn't even have to stay for a week. Just 3-4 nights would be a treat. Maybe a trip for our 15th Wedding Anniversary in 2 years

Non stop!

I was just about to recommend that you fly to almost anyplace in Europe and then, use a budget airline to get to paris. It is a pain, but sometimes can save a ton of money.

$536 RT on Air India from Newark to Paris. Are you picky about the airline?

I flew Air India last winter from Chicago to London and back, and was quite impressed. Best airline meal I've ever had, but then I like Indian food. I would fly with them again with no hesitation.

Ha, I looked into Air India! Their prices are cheap! I read reviews and some didn't seem too bad, but others warned to stay away! I'm not too picky, I could deal with it, but the beau is not as easy going as I. Our desire to go non-stop was fueled by our recent multi-leg journey back from Greece, which was quite an ordeal. And, we're only going for a week so want to spend as much time at our destination as possible. But with prices as they are for non-stop, if we do go, it will most likely involve a stop somewhere.

Yeah, we get it, you're old and have been working a while.

So, where do you want to go for your next vacation?

I was joking more or less. I have flown airlines from many different countries, and usually it is a better experience than the American airlines. The only one I habitually stay away from is Air Italia.
