Seeking OT's vacation input

Being half Italian it has to be Rome, beautiful city. Anywhere in Italy actually.

I really have a strong urge to visit Iceland. Don't know why, either that or go back to Europe (already been there this year; visited 5 countries).

Tokyo of Italy.

Well if I were selecting I wouldn't be going to NYC merely because I am from the area, but there is a great time to be had for a week in the city.

Earlier in the year my girlfriend and I went to D.C. for the week and it was pretty nice, especially for a vacation considering there is lots to be seen and to do.

Las Vegas for sure,maybe Hawaii? Can't really spend just a week there you need at least 2 in Hawaii, and it is more of a I am going to do nothing here vacation spot.

Tokyo! I hear the Asian ladies love American men, though I suppose that doesn't benefit you. :P

Seriously though, judging by your geek level, I think you should go to Tokyo. I think you would enjoy it. That's just based off what I have heard. I've never actually been there. They built a real-life RX78 Gundam. :shock:

Rome, to me, it seems obvious you want to go there/

If I went, I might want to go to Kyoto or someplace just to mix it up. Oooh, maybe I should time my next visit to Japan to coincide with one of the several penis festivals. I will not provide a link to any of the youtube videos on the subject for obvious reasons...xaos

If your vacation days don't become obsolete at the end of the year and there isn't one scheduled for this year, just catch one in the US and make your trip. I'm sure they have those in the US right? I had never even heard of those until just now lol.

Australia's is fun.

What about London?

What about London?

Come to Greece! :awesome:

You will enjoy Athens' horrible mass transportation, rude taxi drivers and souvlaki of course!!! :moreawesome:

I would say Rome because you've already been to the other two.

My sister was an exchage student in Milan and she loved it. My mom has also visited Italy twice, she is kind of an Italiphile. :P

One thing is certain, each section of Italy is very different from the next.

What I mean is, the food and culture and general just anything in Rome will be different from that in Naples or Venice or Milan or Florence, if you get what I'm saying.

What I mean is, if you are at a certain city and you see something you really like, buy it there, because there's a good chance you probably will not find it at the next major city, seeing as each city has its own character.

But if you are only going to Roma and not any other city, then this shouldn't be a problem, my sister was there for 9 months so she travelled around.

Also,Roma has TONS of architecture, TONS, ancient and Christian, churches and buildings everywhere. If you are interested in art and culture, you'll guarantee to find some.

Whatever you decide, good luck. :D

You will not go to any of those places. You will, however, go to Greece and enjoy yourself.

As an aside, you will also not flush the toilet paper in Athens. You will, against your will, eat rolled up grapeleaves.

As long as you're not going this month, you'll love Rome. It's a beautiful place to visit - even on your own - and by September, things should have quietened down a bit and the locals will have returned, so the nightlife will be up and running again.jimmyjammer69

Agreed.

To be honest, I actually reccomend something like February, when the tourist rate is actually the lowest.

My art teacher visited the Sistene Chapel and said you couldn't even enjoy it it was so crowded, she may have visited in the summer, maybe.

Sort of. Like a good engineer, I just guesstimated "40 millionish".
