If you had to go on a vacation, where would it be? Or think of it as: If you were given a couple of weeks off job/study right now, where would you go?
I’d prefer the answer to be within 4000 miles of the U.S. but that’s not binding.
Go ..
P.S. That deja vu is not misplaced. I remember those answers; I’m just looking for more options.

Me personally, would do a road trip between Seattle & Vancouver, get in a time machine and go to the Albuquerque Balloon festival, or go back to London/Paris. Big city might be a change for you after conquering all those American mountains.
Btw, wandered back to your blog after a long time. Good to see you are still in top shape with your traveling. Reading about your Mexico adventures was wonderful – I do feel like the Mexican people are like our peoples’ long lost brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. So much love.

Seattle/Vancouver can be done on a normal/long weekend, no?
Europe has never been on my radar. Perhaps once I get better at paragliding, I’ll want to go there to fly the Alps.
‘Those American mountains’ is an unfair generalization
Every mountain, especially as you go higher, is unique which makes it not-boring.
True that, about Mexicans. I sure met some wonderful people.
I kinda recall you but are you the one who also did a coast-to-coast road-trip?

Yeah, that’s me. Those were great times.
Seattle/Vancouver – I haven’t done it yet, but I think I could stretch it to a week, week and a half easy. I was planning on taking in Glacier National Park as a side trip, the awesome high-speed mountain driving through Idaho driving from Washington State to Montana, taking in the cuisine in Seattle, staying at some cabin on the coast, checking out Olympic National Park and/or Mt. St. Helens and exploring as much of the Canadian coast and mountains near Vancouver as possible.
Related thought though, a roadtrip from Maine to Florida would definitely take up two weeks depending on your speed.
And, the American mountains comment – definitely wasn’t aiming on generalizing them. I was trying to arrive at a geographic commonality in a short phrase, and apparently failed
I find interstate highways in each state unique and interesting, so I am (or previously thought of myself as) the last person to say that Machhu Pichhu is similar to Orizaba. Tauba tauba.
Europe – definitely reconsider. Even if you aren’t into discovering the cities by foot, there are some astonishing displays of nature scattered around the continent. A few in particular that I have in my sights are Iceland for the freeway that runs around the island (there I go with my roadtrips), Norwegian fjords and Cappadocia in Turkey. Definitely agree with Alps, and also Germany (Bavaria).
Btw, I realize it’s probably a PR issue to an extent, but you weren’t concerned about the violence in Mexico? (I don’t remember reading if you commented on that in your recounting of the Mexico trip, but if you did, just point me there).
