Haha! I think you'd probably love this blog that I read (http://myheezyfasheezy.blogspot.com/). Heather is from NC and is living in London temporarily. She's taken some AMAZING trips all over Europe/Asia while she's lived in England -- definitely worth checking out her archives of her travels. She's funny, provides enough detail and photos about her travels to suck you in, and has a wonderful perspective on life ... ok, I'll stop bugging you with my travel related suggestions. :) I love travel and have been thinking about your post since I commented (actually, I think about travel all the time).

I'd suggest going to Peru, it's beautiful, historic and adventurous ... but that's just my two cents. Also, Travelzoo.com has a lot of awesome travel deals for popular places (UK, France, Mexico, Hawaii, etc.). You may want to check that out because if you can get cheap airfare for France (very likely considering you're in the right part of the country to get cheap flights to Europe), why spend your free ticket on that? Good luck with your list! :) Stumbled across your site and feel compelled to comment. I’d suggest going to Peru, it’s beautiful, historic and adventurous … but that’s just my two cents.

Last year she went to Greece & Turkey, Israel & Egypt (trip of a lifetime) and she spent part of one day in Rome - on a BUS! They didn't get off the bus for anything because they had to catch their ship for Greece. Early this year, she went to Croatia (2 whole weeks) and even though she Loved Egypt and Israel, Croatia has been her favorite. The people were wonderful and the place is simply beautiful. She thinks the coast of Croatia was better than when she was in the Aegean. Personally, i've always wanted to visit Egypt and Eastern Europe - Bucharest, Bucharest, Prague. Now I've added Split and Dubrovnik to the list, among others. Do any of the places on the list call to your soul? Or do they just sound like places you would like to visit? Maybe you could pick the one place that sounds like the Last Place you would have thought of going if you were planning a trip with no outside influence - financial or otherwise. Just my .02, which with today's economy, is probably worth . My aunt is retired and has been traveling – a lot – in recent years.

Since you listed it 2nd, I imagine you're already pretty excited about it and it's a safer bet than Machu Picchu. In a country like Peru there's a greater likelihood of something going wrong. (e.g., getting robbed, getting lost, getting sick.) Feel free to disregard this advice if you simply want that kind of adventure, but I don't think you can go wrong with Spain, which is beautiful.

We ended up going to Nice and to was AMAZING!!! The perfect combination of relaxing and fun - Monacco is there as well as a short train to Italy and Cannes. But, in my next trip, I want to go to Machu Picchu. So, those are my suggestions. When Michelle and I were planning our vacation last year we narrowed it down to Machu Picchu and Nice.

Was Survivor there one year? Anyways, I would like to go to Indonesia.... Have you read the book Eat, Love, Pray? ...or is it Eat, Pray, Love? Either way, she travels to Indonesia (can't remember which city) and it sounds amazing. Why does Machu Picchu sound so familiar? Was Survivor there one year?
