quiregrrl1. You have the summer and plenty of money to travel abroad. Where all would you go?
If money and time were no obstacles, I would go to Canada, Alaska, visit my sister in North Carolina, San Francisco, New York, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Holland, Belgium, Prague, Venice, Rome, Tuscany, Greek Islands, Barcelona, Vietnam, China and back home...
2. What foods would you be sure you got to eat?
I always like to try local specialities when I'm overseas, generally try and head off the beaten tourist path and find "local" cafes & restaurants...
3. What landmarks would you be sure you got to see?
Oh I can't possibly list them all, all those places have so many wonderful sights to take in... some of the stand-out ones I guess would be the Blarney Stone in Ireland (I wanna kiss it and see if it brings me luck!), I'd like to visit Prince Edward Island in Canada (childhood love of Anne of Green Gables), The Castro in San Fran... then I guess the main tourist type things in the other places...
4. What airline would you use?
Probably a combination depending on flight schedules and so on... whatever was going to make travelling easiest..
5. Would your knowledge of other languages influence where you went? (i.e. would you be more likely to go to France if you spoke French?)
Nah, I speak Dutch and German, and a tiny bit of Spanish, but I'm good with a phrasebook and the language barrier can usually be overcome with a little patience and creativity... and it adds an element of adventure and fun when you can't read any of the signs around you or understand what people are saying!!
