I hear it rains a lot in Scotland which is why I was thinking of Ireland being nicer.  I am definitely not a fan of cold weather, so maybe I think summer travel is probably the way to go for me.

I've always wanted to take a trip to Ireland, England, and France and horseback ride through them.

Fine, get your own passport and I'll meet you halfway.  Just don't forget the bacon and the beer.

We'll even share the same horse big_smile

It'd be a waste of a ticket to go there for a week.

No idea yet, still waiting to cut down the debt first, or maybe wait until I get it paid off this year.  But either way, just looking for ideas.

Climatology is your friend so is geography.
Western Europe is awfully North, Meaning short days in Autumn and Winter.
New York is about the latitude of Madrid.

July and August are the busiest vacation months in Europe
that's mean empty capitals (Paris without Parisians) but the most expensive flights and crowded beaches

trains go everywhere so are cheap airlines.

Shenghen countries will check your passport only once.

My advice is read a lot of guides, pick what you want to see and go for it
but don't overdo it. You can go to Paris,Amsterdam,Berlin,Milan in one week. But why ?

I just want to GTFO this country for once in my life.  I've got my whole life ahead of me to go do what I want and go where I want to go.  Why waste my life sitting around here in the states forever.  Going offtopic, my passport serves more than one purpose for me.  But my plan of use as stated is to travel abroad and get out.

Granted, I plan to return to my homeland once I've learned my once native language and stay there.

Moved cross Atlantic at the ripe age of 35.
Always planning to visit somewhere else.

I was not disapoinetd by any country i visited, ever.
Still, not every place in that country is nice. E.g.: i've encountered annoying black people in Paris when i wanted to see parisians (the white ones) and so on, but this did not make France dissapointing: in the french provinces there were lots of attraction, white french people, building, culture, etc.
I visited Europe, Asia, South America and none of them looked alike. All different, but you have to know to see the beauty in the whole thing.

I'm still figuring out what the status is on my official citizenship.  Rules are different for adoptees vs those (foreign born) that get married to someone here in terms of a dual citizenship.  Since I have not applied for my certificate of citizenship here, I think I'm still considered a Korean citizen; but I am a citizen of the US because of Bushes ruling in 2000 that granted me that.  They just didn't want to give us the cert, and instead want for me to fill out an application and send $600.  Bastards!
