Which would you do?
 

Hi!My wife and I are in the planning stages of planning a year off to travel the world. We innitially talked about going to countries off the beaten path or countries we would not typical go to but want to see. Our thinking was that in our lifetime, we would probably see London, Paris or some of the more common tourist/traveler destinations at one time or another. Now I sort of have thought about the flip side of this. If we are going to spend all this money for a once in a life time experience, wouldn't we rather go to the places we want to, even if some of these destinations are the Londons and Parises. Which would you do? <BR>

I'd want to do both.

Why Paris & london? What are you going to experience there? and Why not one of the best wildlife country in Africa? e.g: Tanzania - Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, The whitesands of Zanzibar. You have to do something which will linger with your memories forever. AFRICA THE BEST CHOICE- UNSPOILEC AREA AND NO POLLUTION. <BR> <BR>Karen

Go where YOU want. Forget about what you SHOULD see in the world. When we went to Egypt this spring everyone told us we were crazy since we hadn't yet done the Paris's, London's, etc. of the world. There is no right place to go - anytime you go one place, you don't go to another. There is always next time and planning it/dreaming about it is half the fun.
