    You have me beat there, BK. I've been all over, but not to our two neighbors and I have got to rectify that soon!

    Lived in Japan for three years and loved every minute of it! Made some great friends there and definitely remember laughing a lot, eating some great food, seeing some awesome Baseball, and partying my butt off in Rippongi.

    The rest of the list:
    Philippines (great people and awesome night-life!)
    Hong Kong (3 times. Partied with loads of Brits, Aussies, and Scots. My favorite city!)
    Singapore (Beautiful City. Great Restaurants.)
    Thailand (Awesome beaches and LOTS of lovely Australian Women on holiday!)
    Sri Lanka
    UAE (Dubai!!!!)
    Bahrain (Gulf Air Stewardesses!!!)
    Diego Garcia, BIOT.
    Russia (Right at the end of the Cold War when the Soviet Union was no more. I had met and worked with Russian Navy Personnel, but to go there and meet the people was a bit overwhelming. They were so gracious and welcoming, these recent enemies. I was walking by a church as a wedding was letting out and the wedding party insisted I be in all of the photos. Somewhere exists a photo of a Russian Bride sitting on my lap!)

    Upon leaving Japan, I had orders to the Embassy in London and did I have some plans for Europe! However, cutbacks short-changed me of that experience just a month before departure and I've been in the States since.

    This thread is awesome! I'm trying to imagine all these places you/we've all visited as I read through them. I must say, so far Hector appears to be the best-travlled of the bunch! 'Cause, you know, this IS a competition.

    With the money we got back, we went on a scouting expedition for a new room. We ended up at the Marina, in the Surf Motel. We paid less, the guy gave us a big reduction, in exchange for a $50 under-the-table bribe.

    In the end, we spent less than in the first hotel.
    Should you ever go to San Francisco: try out the International Hotel. It's a experience. Tell them we sent ya!
    Yeah i hate those type of surprises,that's why i use Priceline and go for the 3 or 4 star hotels,haven't had a bad one yet and all for under $80 a night

    Places I have visited (note, most of the European locations were to the capital via Eurail, except for Spain, I went all over Spain on a stand-alone trip there):

    Mexico (duh)
    Argentina
    Uruguay
    Guatemala
    Costa Rica
    Canada (Vancouver)
    Portugal (Lisbon)
    Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Seville, Toledo, Segovia)
    Morocco (I felt like Indiana Jones, lol)
    France (Paris)
    England (London)
    Ireland (we took my dad there seven years ago for some cancer treatments, it was a bitter-sweet trip)
    Italy (Rome and Venice)
    Greece (Athens)
    Indonesia (Jakarta)

    I have never visited Northern Europe aside from England and Ireland (would love too), only the Mediterranean area countries (England and Ireland being the exceptions of course).

    I would love to visit Japan as well.

    Alaska (U.S.) is another dream destination of mine.

    I have not done any extensive travel in about seven years (Ireland being the last country outside of Mexico)...I think it's time to begin again once my schooling ends.

    I hope you didn't get the impression that Juarez is what all Mexico is about.

    If you ever visit a Mexican city, go to Guadalajara instead:

    I'm amazed that none of you guys or girls have been to Australia! We talked a few years ago about an Aussie Mego Meet, we should really plan something to give you all an excuse to visit.
    I'd come!
    We'd even stay!!

    Definitely not illegal here. I had a chance to go there with my school, but it was a bit too expensive
