Italy: Rome, Florence, Venice, in that order.

I'd suggest italy too, Capri then Rome....but it depends what you want really...italy will give you good women, good culture and good booze....but if you're not bothered about the quality of women and booze and don't want any culture, you should be heading to Ibiza. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole personally, but thats just me, if you're looking for loud music, endless clubs, 80% chance of getting laid in the first hour off the plane and generally just one big party then Ibiza is the place for you.

If you're looking at a good mix of heat, women, booze and culture, Italy is the place for you.

If you're looking more for culture, I'd recommend Stockholm.

And if you plan on coming to Britain, do yourself a favour and avoid london like the plague....we have so much more to offer.

PS. I'm presuming that you're not from Britain anyway (you mentioned seniors which sounds US to me)....I think it would probably help if you edited your original post to say where you are based?

Ya, he's from the States. I checked his Profile

Life: No one gets out alive.

i can think of a nice little guest house in Chartham Downs, nice bloke owns it, lovely Polish girlfriend, does websites on the side i think

lol. I think he's gone ex-directory though Taw

But there is this crackin' county called staffordshire that you may want to visit....

Or, if you wanna learn the true meaning of the words lunch and hard drinking, and you like to visit places that are both beautiful and bad for your health (mostly mental health), you can always come to Serbia, I'll be your tour guide, I'll even do it pro bono.


Careful what you wish... You just might get it.

If you do happen to raise a small fortune Hawaii is nice, if steriotypical. It'd be crouded in Aug tho, and it's not technicly overseas. Me, I'd enjoy a road trip! Still a year and change to go...

Hawaii's the closest I've been to leaving the country aside from seeing Mexico across da border

i'm off to the land of the rising sun this coming easter. i hear its a nice place, although a tad on the break the bank side


"it has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime, what better place than here, what better time than now"

cool we're supposed to be going next summer but the wife's chubbing about Japan now, she doesn't really like going away that much and isn't looking forward to the flight particularly shame if it all goes pear-shaped, i'm really looking forward to going. it is rather expensive though, plus there's always the Godzilla problem to consider!

ive been to normandy allthough if you are english or american, you wanna watch yourself, they resent us saving them from the jerries in ww2.

I agree with WLB ... But when are you going? Winter break? Spring break?:

I've been to Hawaii. It is not cheap to get there but if you are able to work it so that you actually stay on the Big Island (Hawaii) or one of the other ones that is NOT home to Honolulu (Oahu) it is relatively less expensive and great. The people are nice, they all speak American, etc., etc. ... altho there is an interesting local Hawaiian pidgin that is spoken, especially away from Oahu.

@Taw: Well, if what I hear is true, it is very much worth the trip except that since you'll be flying east, the jet lag when you land there can be something pretty awful for the first 36 hours. The return to the UK, however, should be a much softer landing for you.

yes thats whats putting my lady off. the furthest east i've evr been is HongKong but that was when i was in the Navy so we sailed there hence no jet lag. always wanted to go to japan, bullet trains, capsule hotels, robots, mt fujiyama, godzilla, pokemon, sadako's volcano, all the usual stuff.

@ Matt

Holland is nice this time of year, Especially Amsterdam. If you don't like Amsterdam I suggest you go look up north there are some pretty nice places there too

If Holland is not your choosing maybe you could go to Berlin, Germany
Very Nice city that has a lot of culture and history.

If this is not of your choosing I can suggest The Highlands of Scotland
Never been there but really banking to go there

and if that is not of your choosing really don't know your choosing but I can safely say that these places are definately worth a look

@Taw: you could always come with me? i'll be shipping out sometime next year to learn from a ninjitsu master and save the world. Also gonna get a lot of asian birds done...i, er, i mean sightseeing, and then maybe steal some of those big stomping robots they have their for sh*ts and giggles.

@ff:

ouch..politics...i'm off
