hey! here's my list: <BR><BR>Madrid, Spain- studied there for 5 months. love it! great night life and wonderful attitude towards life/friendships, etc.<BR><BR>London, England- found it to be just like NYC. nice though, liked covent garden.<BR><BR>Venice, Italy- absolutely magical!! exceeded our expectations. romantic, laid back yet sophisticated. definitely plan on going again.<BR><BR>Paris, France- nice, filled with culture, but a bit arrogant.<BR><BR>Anguilla, British Islands- the most amazing beach i've ever witnessed!! <BR><BR>San Juan, Puerto Rico- pleasant, pretty, great people and food. modernized island feel.<BR><BR>Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic- great friendly people. 3rd world-ish though, snobby traveler's beware. though many parts of the island were not developed, the resort we stayed in was great.<BR><BR>New York, NY- busy, great nightlife, tons of action at all times - literally, expensive. the outskirts of nyc: mostly suburban, pretty, some neighborhoods very diverse.<BR><BR>South Beach, FL- better beaches than i ever expected.<BR><BR>I know I haven't travelled much, but this is what I get for living in America. <BR><BR>
