Me, I went home to meet my new daughter.
But if you're looking for a cool vacation, a couple guys I was with took their significant others to South Africa. They did the Boer War battlefield tour, done in a safari type of setting...tents, butlers, cooks. Pretty pricey though.
And there is no going wrong with a New Zealand (did a reverse HLTA there a few years back) or an Australia visit. They are both awesome desintations. Especially if you dive.

I don't know what it would cost for 2 travelers, but I went to London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Northern France. The first 3 are best for singles, and I'd wager the last 3 would be great for a couple. Luxembourg is small, absolutely charming, and english and french are commonly spoken. I recently went on a vacation to Santiago and Chilean Patagonia and it was one of the highlights of my life. Chile is cheap, safe, comfortable, and spectacularly beautiful. If you like wine, seafood, glaciers, and want to see penguins its a good go, but I imagine the travel cost and time are prohibitive leaving from the host nation. Iceland is also an amazing destination, quite expensive in 2006 but I imagine it is substantially cheaper now.
Agreed - Iceland is one of the coolest trips I've ever been on. Small country in terms of population - quite the amazing country though. I was there for 2 weeks and found PLENTY to do - lots of awesome glaciers, volcanoes, old viking castles and ruins up in the countryside - and a population of roughly 300,000. Definately recommend it to others.

From Afghanistan I went to Port Douglas, Australia and we traveled around from there. Next time, I think I would not stay in one place for more than a few days but go to different places. The holiday apartment we rented was great. $110 AUD per night, stay six and the seventh is free. My spouse and I were on the same tour with the same HLTA so it worked out well.
From Bosnia, I got Eurorail passes (and did a reverse HLTA) and we traveled in Italy, Germany, France and Switzerland. We stayed in hotels close to the train stations in each place we went to. Munich was the best (actually went back and spent more time there). We also had an extended stay in Rome.

I HLTA's in Rome, France, London, Dublin and London. It was all Eurail passes and very random travel, but it was a good trip. I stayed at the Union Jack Club in London, its BARE Essential but Cheep. Caters to Military and right in the center of the City. I walked everywhere. You have to book ahead to guarantee a room, it has temporary membership for Canadian Troops.

I've been.
There are many islands to choose, good diving, but its very VERY expensive, and its an islamic country, but it survives on western tourist dollars, and is overall tollorant of our 'Great Satan' way of life.
I thinks is 6ft ASL overall.

We are looking into all inclusive resorts in exotic places. We are sick of the Caribbean.

Google the fol: Whitsundays, Hamilton Island, Airlee Beach, Bribie Island, Great Barrier Reef tourist, Darwin, Cairns, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Rainbow Beach, and these are just a few. Also google Mantra Resorts Queensland.
The AUD is currently 64c US.
Cdn drivers licenses are valid w/out Intl licenses too.

There are all inclusives in Malta, Portugal, Turkey if you are looking for something a bit different. We've stayed at a 5* in Belek (Antalya) Turkey and it was great, right on the beach, good variety and selection of food and booze. Only downside was we stayed in the Fall and weather was not as warm as we would have liked for a beach vacation.
Hope that helps.

Hey MediPea, you'll ove it. We stayed right in Fira. Godd little tavernas adn graet food. Remember Lucky's Souvlaki, a small take away, but the taste after over 3 months on rations, well it was out of this world.
Go to aromasuites.com and go to suites, and check out the honeymoon suite, thats were we stayed. A cave house on the side of the cauldrom. Million dollar views and not too bad off season rates. We were there in Nov/Dec 06, the weather was still great, but the water swimable, but cool.
