    hmmmm — I’d go to England and France with a plan to spend travel money in Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain with the intent of leaving a little tiny mark in countries that are really struggling right now. Just tonight I saw that unemployment in Greece is at 30%. Oiy. Travel is the key to peace. The more people you meet, the more people you love.

      Hi Teapixie – great comment! We visited the Greek island of Corfu (again!) last year and were saddened to see how much they are struggling, yet they are still such lovely, warm and welcoming people. You are right that visiting these countries is a way to help them, and they are very appreciative :)

        Thank you, Val! Oh how lucky you are to have travelled to Corfu. I have done a painting of a street in Crete, but that is the closest I have ever gotten to Greece. Sigh.

    Hmm, all 8 vacation choice are good. However, my dream vacation would be to go to south east China. The landscape and ethnic minority are worth seeing.
    Second choice, which is not on the list is Japan.
    I want to go see Kyoto and the castles.
