iowagirl,
I hope your boss approves your request and if he/she does so can you get me a job there
Lsky,
Paris seems like a popular place but I see the French as being more reserved about celebrating NYE which I guess works well if you fall asleep overlooking the Eiffel Tower.

Another vote for Scotland:

or
fireballs in Stonehaven could be neat to see:

but
very likely to be me at home, hoping the BBC news shows the fireworks from Edinburgh for their time midnight, my time of 7pm .. and then I can go to bed

I am missing fondue and my Swiss friends right now so I would go for a visit to Zürich and fondue and lots of very dry white wine at our favorite spot with our dear friends. Then I'd be up for heading into the sunny mountains for some winter wanderwege...
Scootoir's plan would be a nice consolation prize, however

Hey DMBTraveler, just came across this post and I am doing some long distance planning for NYE this year for DH, myself and kids/partners in their twenties.
Would love to hear about your experience this year - is there something for both generations do you think? Looks like it on the website.
Hope you post more details soon

ozgirl,
Loved Scotland and I think it is definitely a family destination.
Will make a separate post but lots to do ....
NYE Celebration is a 4 Day Event ... Hog-Man-Ay
A Street Party with many music venues and concerts, food vendors and very cool fireworks on the hour leading up to the big show at midnight.
This year it was unusually warm about 50F with an occassional rainshower but it did not take away from the experience.
More details and pictures in my "Scotland" post.
