Canada Mexico India Japan Spain France Germany Italy Iceland Belgium Argentina Chile Costa Rica Norway Sweden Scotland Great Britain Switzerland Austria Slovenia Morocco Sri Lanka Dubai/Abu Dhabi We have friends in many of these places, so we get a sense of the local culture/life. Others were long distance hiking trips, which are interesting in their own way. The folks you meet on the trail are similar regardless of the country..... |

Kid #1 - Canada (two family trips), Japan (with Girl Scouts)
Kid #2 - Canada (see above), Germany (school trip) For reasons I will never understand, their public HS yearbook features a multi-page spread on individual students' expensive international vacations every year as if it were some big achievement on the kid's part. |
