12 months 12 trips - Where would you go?
If you were to plan to visit a new place each month of next year where would you go?
Planning around festivals and best time to visit is the great part of this. Here's what i would like to do so far, starting Nov: Nov: Kite surfing and Scuba Diving - Sharm El Sheikh - Lack of tourists, nice mild weather. December: Rock Climbing - Krabi Thailand, Travel Northern Thailand - OK weather timing. Jan: Aussie Millions Trip - Hong Kong, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Cairns, Singapore - Timed around Aussie Million Feb: Skiing in Europe - Season. March: Scuba Dive Africa - Good time to see most of the summer sharks. April: Spanish GP Formula 1 - Barcelona May: Party Poker Cruise - Timed around that. June: Iceland - Hiking, Glacier Tour, World's hottest women. - Summer time more daylight. July: Vegas - WSOP and world series of spearmint rhino. August: Hiking Switzerland - Late summer, dry. October: oktoberfest - Munich - Still never been. I feel with a New Orleans type music festival in there or a Brazilian Mardi Gras that would be ideal for me. And after reading the Irieguy trip report i feel like i should replace one of these with sailing around the Greek Islands. So where would your ideal year of vacations be? Anyone know of any websites to search travel by months? Any single months suggestion?

I'm not sure when the running of the bulls is but I think that would be interesting.
You would also need to replace the GP formula 1 trip (unless you wanted to do spain twice)

you are going to spend a fortune on plane tickets but it seems pretty cool.

If you want to do a music fest in New Orleans, Jazz Fest is the only real choice. Last weekend in April and first weekend in May.
By the way....the bulk of oktoberfest is in September. Only a few days in October.

I've yet to go on a Safari, take some time and do some research. Perhaps we'll be fortunate and one will chime in with a trip report. [/ QUOTE ] My mom climbed Mount Kilimanjaro a few years back. I'm sure she'll chime in shortly since I posted in this thread.

Yes, I did a two week Africa trip with one week devoted to the Kili climb and one week devoted to an African safari. FWIW I think every person should spend a day at Ngorogora Crater in Tanzania in their lifetime!! ok, quick trip report. . . Kili Climb -- I was in the top 3 in shape of our group of 14 -- but I got sick as a DOG puking, etc. on summit day due to altitude sickness. BUT I'm a tightass and it was an expensive trip so I got my sorry butt to the top for photos. Climb down is every bit as hard as the climb up~!! Yikes. Then on to the safari ---- OMFG, once in a lifetime experience. We were watching these wildebeasts by this pond and this one dumb [censored] was off on his own -- then we noticed the friggin lions in the brush ----- yep, we watched a kill right in front of us!! Some people would say gross but I'm telling you when you are seeing it you are awestruck!! Then the cap of the trip was spending an afternoon with the Masaii ---- WOW . . . Seriously I see some of the $$$ you poker players make and you should definitely put a safari trip on your life list of to-dos!!!! Hope this wasn't tl/dr!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
