Okay, so those of you at the Camping Meetup may have heard my griping about how with the America West buying USAirways, but our ball-less CEO deciding to bill it as "merger," how I'm being screwed. Not only will I go from the top of the Seniority List to near the bottom, I will also go from 4 weeks of vacation to a measley 2, once the USAirways contract "takes over." I just found out that it won't go into effect next year, though. So, in 2007, I will get 4 weeks vacation again!
Woooo-Hoooo!
So, Africa this year...what's next...? Suggestions...?

Isn't Machu Pichu on your list? Or Malta. I've heard great things.

Branson, MO....shit that's a good one! 
That sounds like fodder for a nightmare. You get on a plane thinking your going somewhere cool, fall asleep, wakeup and your plane is landing in Branson, MO. Noooooooooooo.......!!!!
So Mike - what are the remaining holes in your grand plan of global conquest? How much of China have you seen? There is a lot to see there...much of it rapidly disappearing in the face of massive industrialization.

Malta was nice as are the Pyramids, Mike. And you can do both in one trip!

You already know what I'm going to say. But I'll say it anyway:
I
N
D
I
A
But try to leave yourself as much time for it as possible, 3 weeks would be a minimum.

How about Tuvalu?
I had to choose something obscure because you've been almost everywhere!
