Leichtenstein is kind of cute and it has the Torkel restaurant with great food and views over the prince's vineyards and his castle and even serves the prince's wine, which has gotten much better since the first time we had it. So there.

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>
