Oh, I don't think you have to worry about that :p Besides, Panama or somewhere in South America sounds so much more interesting.

Huh, no competition here. Paris and Rome. Been to SE Asia several times, unless you want just sun and warm, nothing there.
Going to Rome meself this summer.

I've been to Rome and Paris and would highly recommend it. Well, Rome at least. F the Parisians.
When I went in 2000 the USD was pretty strong, also helped that it was before the Euro was in circulation. My understanding is that it is still relatively cheap to fly to Europe and that you can get some very good deals on travel packages. May want to look into that.

If you are going to Southeast Asia, you can eat like hell. USD is still pretty strong there

Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, or Taiwan for city watching (they have rediculously advanced cities there). Paris/Rome for historical landmarks and sightseeing. I don't like Thailand, but thats just me.

Southeast Asia. I spent a month in Thailand and Cambodia. While I certainly want to see Europe, I don't think that Thailand could be beat in my eyes. The food was easily the best I've ever had, the islands and sightseeing were incredible, and it's cheap. Hoping to go back in the future.

Nothing there......:roll:

Was in Greece this winter, and the euro really does suck. I'd say SE Asia, Thailand in particular - very different culture, good food, and easy transport (can rent a motorcycle if you wish). Plus lots to do including hiking in some very nice national parks, scuba diving, and rock climbing.
