Autzen Audibles

1) Greece. It would need to be a 3-4 week trip as I want to experience more than just the Parthenon or Mykonos :)
2) Italy. See above
3) anywhere warm with white sands and clear Waterford snorkeling with the kids.

Currently getting ready to head to Romania, Bulgaria, and Paris in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

One of my roommates in college has been to almost every country in Europe over the last few years. He taught English in Spain for a year before going to grad school so it was a great base. Ya benias in terms of a "trip" I'd want it to be about a month long, like I did down in Central America.

Ya, the city of Medellin has turned around big time over the last decade, murder rate has declined precipitously and the city has improved many aspects.

1) A 6-month tour of some of the Central/South American countries....particularly Peru (I want to hike the Inca/Machu Picchu trail before I die), Costa Rica, Brazil, Belize, Chile, and including the Galapagos Islands.

2) Another 6-month journey of India and Southeast Asia including Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, and some of the Indonesian and Philippine islands. I'd love to go and see many of the Hindu and Buddhist temples.

3a) Alaska...I've always been so amazed by the breathtaking expanses of untouched wilderness there and would love to go and see some of it.

3b) I've been a huge Green Bay fan my whole life and would love to experience a late season, bone chilling game against the Bears on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.

I too love learning about and encountering other cultures first hand and love to travel...don't get to do it as much as I'd like. If I had the resources, it's all I'd do for the next 5-10 years of my life and go see the world and meet the people along the way. I did a 6-month backpacking trip across 16 countries in Europe back in the Summer/Fall of 2006. Was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. If I hadn't run out of money I would have kept going.

For anyone thinking of traveling to somewhere in Europe, I would HIGHLY recommend giving Croatia a serious consideration. I loved many of the countries I saw and for many different reasons, but if I had to choose only one that I could revisit tomorrow it would definitely be Croatia....beautiful country, friendly people, amazing food, a wonderful melting pot of many different influential cultures, and so many things to do and see. I'd easily go there again in a heartbeat if I had the chance.

If your into Belgian beer check out Ommegang while your in Cooperstown, one of the more well known Belgian-style breweries in the US.

I'm going in 10 days! Booyah!

1. Brazil. My mom moved to the US from Brazil when she was 8 and we could never afford to go visit.
2. Spain/Portugal/Italy. I've dne some of the northern countries, now I want to the Mediterranean.
3. NYC. I like big cities.
4. Easter Island. The statues have always fascinated me.

1. Sardinia. Spent three weeks on Sicily and loved it - the finest, most intact ancient ruins anywhere, even past Greece. Incredible food plus friendly people. I hear Sardinia is just as interesting.

2. Argentina/Brasil. Incredibly gorgeous and friendly women. Great cities (BA and Bahia) and beaches.

3. Marrakech and Fez in Morrocco.

A friend of mine goes down to Chile and Argentina for Kayaking and hiking every few years, he raves about both. He also goes to Costa Rica all the time, but says the other two far outweigh any place he's ever been, and like Cash, hes been everywhere!

GO Ducks!!! WTD

I really, really want to hit up as much of Europe as possible, so it'll make up a lot of my top 5

1. St. Andrews/Scottland: I'm a big golfer and playing at the birthplace of golf is probably the trip I wanna take most.
2. England: I really wanna see London.
3. Ireland: Being half Irish I want to make it there someday.
4. Dubai: In pictures Dubai looks super cool, and I'd love to see some of that stuff in person. Although, the heat not so much.
5. Brazil: I'd love to go to Rio de Janiero (sp?)

Places I've been that I wanna go back to
1. Boston: Gotta hit up another Sox game someday
2. Cooperstown: Such an amazing village, it's all baseball.
3. Japan: I too went to Japan when I was younger (13) and now one of my friend's from high school lives there, so I'd love to see the night life with him in Tokyo.

Europe: Normandy, Auschwitz, etc. I love history and Europe is rich with it.

Jerusalem: Would be pretty cool to see the holy land even though I'm not a real religious person.

Egypt: The pyramids definitely would be a very cool sight.

I would love to go back to the orient as well but my wife has no desire to go there so unless I get divorced I've probably seen all the Geisha's I'm going to lol.
