Looking for vacation ideas. - Megen Vo

We are young and would like to travel abroad while it's still relatively easy to take time off :) - Benjamin Golub

I'm partial to Thailand, but maybe not good after surgery. I'd probably do Europe or maybe Australia where you still have access to good medicine. - Jesse Stay

Jesse: actually Megen will have been on her Surgery rotation. She isn't having an operation - Benjamin Golub

Scandinavia isn't cheap travel, but it's an often-overlooked part of Europe. I've been to Sweden and Denmark and loved it. If you want cheaper, add some Eastern European countries to your itinerary but check safety reports for various areas, first. - Spidra Webster

OH, okay :-) Then yes, I'm partial to Thailand - visit the southern Phuket (most beautiful beaches in the world), then Bangkok, then up to the luscious green north - ride an elephant up the mountain and through rice fields to a waterfall, see the ring neck ladies, etc. - Jesse Stay

Thailand's very cheap once you get there. Flight is the most expensive part. - Jesse Stay

And if you have time left over, you can visit the ancient Hindu temples on the borders of Cambodia/Thailand. - Jesse Stay

We only have a week - Benjamin Golub

Okay, Cristo, I'll bite...why Arkansas? - Anne Bouey

:) - Anne Bouey

I canoed the Buffalo river in Arkansas - beautiful area. - Jesse Stay

I've always wanted to go to Thailand, but it may be too far to go for just a week. - Megen Vo

Megen, yeah, to get the whole thing in you probably need at least a week and a half. You could get some things in though and go back another time. - Jesse Stay

You guys could come up to Park City, Utah for a ski week :-) - Jesse Stay

If you only have a week and need a change of scenery (e.g. warm, tropical) go to Hawaii. Maui is a good island to visit this time of year. We went last year in February and the weather was warm and the water (although def not at its warmest) is comfortable (I recall Paul spending a lot of time in the water trying to spear fish). It's a hike from ROC, but doable. - April Buchheit

Or, you guys can visit CA and explore around SoCal (I hear a lot of good stuff about San Diego and just around the SoCal coastline). - April Buchheit

I think we've settled on London. Neither of us has ever been, and I really love museums and Jane Austen. - Megen Vo

Check out GeorgianLondon.com She's got some excellent stuff and some of that era is Austen's era. - Spidra Webster
