I guess for two weeks I would go scuba diving in Mexico non stop. maybe Cozumel. But really even though it is not on the list I would do the same but in Hawaii. If I had 2 Months I would definitely have some very different places that I would go. I don't like to just go for a short time.
I just returned from my month long holiday in Almaty Kazakhstan. Didn't see it on your list and not surprised as they are a long way from anyplace in Europe and don't get a lot of tourists. A great holiday and would go back in a blink of an eye. The dollar goes a long way there and the food is interesting and lots of different things to choose from. I did try eating horse meat (a favorite there) and found it to be fairly good. People on the most part are friendly enough. Safety was never a concern for me and didn't have any reason to be fearful. Anyone else go to an out of the way place?

rizlared: You have never lived until you have experienced the seafront at Southend Or walked down the main street in Billericay.
I used to live in Southend and the surrounding areas many moons ago, and you forgot to mention the many wonders of "Canvey Island", rizlared ... But yeah!, it was all too much paradise for me, and that's why i've ended up living in sunny Australia ... at least for now! ...
If I lived elsewhere in the world, Scotland would be my choice, but living here I would chose Canada, and if I was restricted to a vacation closer to home I would go to Ireland - lovely country, and friendly people.
I would like to do another driving trip to Canada, the last time I was there, I only had 2 weeks, I remember thinking that I wanted to keep going north... This is Lake Louise, I stayed around here and would like go back, maybe some day...

Not Italy, been there this year, well, never again. And even the food was disappointing most of the time. Not any muslimcountry, I wouldn't be safe there being a satanworshipper. Japan and Scandinavia are too expensive. French are snobs, and I don't like the mentality of many people in the USA. Russia is too dangerous, also Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Too many murders overthere. Spain and Portugal never were favourit on my list to visit. China is to filthy with the airpollution. And Africa never attracted me at all, the whole continent doesn't look interesting to me. All the animals I've seen in zoos and on television allready.
Would love to see more of the UK and Ireland, also back to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Nepal. Also Myamar and South Korea. Tibet also could be very interesting. By the way: I think Russia has a fantastic nature and landscape, but with the criminal rates and mr Putin leading the country, I won't feel safe there.
Switzerland….if you have some "extra money" There you have a mix of 3 different cultures, german in the north, french in the west, and italian in the south…..southern Switzerland is a beautiful place to travel to in autumn,
