Italy would definitely be a good place to go...considering Italians have been running things for around 3000 years, first the Roman Empire and then the Roman Catholic church...so they have hordes of culture from everywhere. Then there is a bit of a recession going on in the country so the prices might also be excellent. ...And anyone that can build the Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini to name a few...

I'd go to Italy. I've been itching to go for years, but never quite managed it. Poland too, to see where my grandfather came from, meet some of the family (it's where my surname is from, for those who were wondering). I have family in Italy too on my grandmother's side. It'd be great to see either place, but I think there's a lot more of the historical stuff in Italy that I'd be interested in.

London is definitely one of the greatest cities but we kind of partial to Paris too....and for smaller cities there is Lisbon and Seville. Tokyo is grand but Kyoto is one of our favourites. Cities in the future to see will be Rome (and much of Italy), Shanghai, Copenhagen, Saint Petersburg, Rio de Janeiro... We are having our official fortieth wedding anniversary next year and if all the house renovations are completed...who knows where we will be going.
