Best Place to Visit Outside of US

I'd say the Philippines - warm weather, warm ocean, great nightlife, cheap prices once you get there.

Canada eh?

- M4H

i think

Hong kong is really cold right now.. it doesn't get warm until the spring time... and it's fairly expensive.

Boracay is amazing - crystal clear water and white sand beaches. It's in the Western Visayas.. near the island of Panay. South of Manila.

Hong Kong

I cannot believe people are suggesting the Bahamas. Have you ever been there? It's about 99% completely rundown. Unless vacationing in ghettos is cool...?

another vote for london.

fares aren't too expensive, lots of touristy things to do, everyone speaks english, everything is written in english, there's good hiking in the lake district(NW of london iirc), decent clubbing.

the only problem is the flight will be on the order of 20 hours unless you break it up.

also, mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes!

San Pedro, Belize

<2 hours from Miami/Houston
Cheap
Locals all speak English
Second largest barrier reef in the world ~ 200 yards from shore
Good nightlife
Sidetrips to Mayan Ruins and cave tubing easy to arrange

nice, eh?

I've never been there, but I've always thought that Switzerland looked really nice.

I have been to this place, FABULOUS. I didn't suggest it because the less the word gets out the better it will stay

Stop by my place, we'll get wasted.

It's about 16 hours... plus lots of travel time. It's a cool flight though.. you leave around midnite and fly through the night!

Actuall I would strongly advise against it! It is just extremely expensive to go to the UK (getting there is not the problem, hotel, food, car-rental or even underground tickets are though!) and London is just crazy pricewise.

If you want to come over to our wonderfully socialist europe may I suggest Barcelona. An awesome place, my favorite city in Spain with lots of nightlife, touristy bits, great restaurants and mostly excellent weather. The prices aren't too bad either - there are bargains to be found - so even coming from US$ it won't be so bad - much better than London at any rate

but the accents are so much cooler in london

anyway, i agree it is expensive there. there is always the temptation to think of things as if they were in USD instead of GBP and think "that's not too expensive".

however, london is still one of our favorite places to visit.

kenya, i will going in august and i can not wait

 

[Spooner]

Hmmm.... London or Spain are sounding like nice options

I'll have to also look into Belize.

not much night life in boracay. Not the night life he is thinking of I am sure, discos, restaurants, etc. Excellent though if you are into scuba diving.
