You win 10, 000 dollars that you HAVE TO use on a trip to another country. Where do you go?
And what do you do once you get there?

Where do you really want to go? Paris? Mexico? Australia?

3. Only one country?
Then it would be France!

I love love love Paris...The City of Light...

So beautiful there, so many things to see, and the restaurants!

I've never had a bad meal there, not even in the little hole-in-the-wall places!

12. I'm with Peggy, France is hard to beat....
been there twice.... the last time (3 years ago) was a
once in a lifetime kind of trip....

start in Avignon.... take the bullet train from Paris.

get a car... Our trip consisted of going from
market to market (usually held weekly) all through the south of France.
spend at least a week doing two night stays at Provence,
Avignon, and a little bitty fishing town near Marsailles....
did the beach thing there... .
finish the drive part, take the train to Tours see the
chateaus and wine cellars. then head back to Paris.

It was beautiful.....

I would ride a moped, and a donkey. Ask to go fishing and jump in the water... from the cliffs....

I might take side trips to the bigger islands to see the ruins...
