Earlier this year I thought I was headed to Italy next month. Then for a few days I was going to go to London instead. Now it looks like my next vacation will be back home to California for the holidays. I do maintain that living in Manhattan and "vacationing" in So Cal gives me the best of both worlds and I am so glad it has all worked out this way. Still, I'm disappointed I can't go abroad as I've been wanting to travel more internationally for years. That said, I made my choice and living in New York while saving for an international holiday takes more time. I'm considering putting all my money toward my #1 - Greece. Even if I have to go alone as part of a tour group. I've wanted to see Santorini and the other Greek Islands for years. I know I'll get there eventually.
My "Top 5" are: Greece, Spain, Ireland, Italy (other parts, I've been to Venice already), and Egypt
Anyone else out there have a "Top 5"?

luckygirl - I've had it in my head that I want to do a Mediterranean cruise for my honeymoon. Who knows when that will happen (or if it will) though so I'll plan for Greece alone if I have to.
My list does get bigger! I'd love to see pretty much all of Europe, go to London again, Vienna, Germany, etc. I loved Prague and Bruges - both are beautiful cities. I'd also love to go to Montreal, Hawaii, the Mexican Riviera, various places in South America, etc. etc. I could go on and on...
