As CP mentioned, Chicago/NY this year. Next year Scotland. '09...Tokyo might be a possibility. Possibly Orlando.

We do have our Panama Canal crossing scheduled for may of '08 however, I have a sneaking suspicion that Chris will not be able to get 2+ weeks off of work during that time. We'll see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Snowflake,

If you want to go to London for the bookstores, you'd better bump it to the top of your list. Brick and mortar media outlets (that includes book stores, record stores etc) are dying just as fast on that side of the pond as they are here.

Seattle's having beautiful weather this week....

I'd really like to go do a tour of Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary. And Finland. Oooh! And Greece.

Have you looked into Argentina? From what the travel pro's are saying it's a great destination and a great deal vs the US dollar right now.

Right now I have booked:

June to Anaheim/Vegas (probably not your top get away spot)
Sept to Dublin, Ireland

With a tentative Paris for Summer '08

New York
Seattle

And I'm doing my best to justify New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Alaska.

If the dollar didn't suck so much Scotland, France, Prague, Berlin and Ireland would be on the list too.

Where do you want to go?

When you go to Seattle, let me know. It would be fun to have a PNW meet, and Seattle has some very uber-swanky meeting spaces!

I really want to go to the following:

New Zealand
UK
Germany
Antarctica (failing that, the southernmost tip of South America)
Iceland
Australia
Russia

My travel dreams start and end with winning the Lotto.

Till that happens, planning just makes me sad.

Quit your whining Mr. Grand Canyon/planning-a-trip-to-Tokyo.

The isle of Capri. Also Venice, Florence, and Rome. T minus 12 days and counting...

(and also, my hometown. T minus 16 hours and counting...)

Ooh, Capri. I'll raise a limoncello toast across the ether to the newlyweds while you're there.
