+1. I know it doesn't seem that unusual or adventurous, but my parents did this with me when I was 14 and it left a lasting impression and influenced me to become a worldwide traveler. |

How horrible is it in the summer? |

The South Island is chilly during their winter. Still gorgeous though. And less crowded. |

| Road trip through Europe - pick the countries based on what languages you speak. |

We are debating 4+ weeks in the summer vs. 2 weeks in the winter. Would also like to go to Australia, but maybe we'd need to break that into a separate trip if we go in the winter. |

These have already been said I think, but it's fun to dream:
hiking in Torres del Paine, Patagonia. However, I think our summer is not the time to go there. Camping and hiking around the southwest: some combination of Mesa Verde, Bryce, Zion, Chaco Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, a 1 or 2 day rafting trip, visit a Native American pueblo, Hoover dam |

Whose summer? What months? |

Totally agree! We did the superlekker, which was one of the best parts of our trip to Costa Rica, though it seemed to me that that particular trip isn't always available and it's hard to know in advance if it will be. We also loved Lapa Rios on the Osa Peninsula, but that was more of a splurge. I have a friend that works for Backroads, which is the company a PP mentioned, and they do some really incredible trips in many of the places mentioned. |

Glacier National Park or Mt. Kilimanjaro (the easy hike to the summit)--the ice caps for these will be gone in our children's lifetime. You can combine Mt. Kilimanjaro with a safari and Glacier with one of the other national parks
Patagonia and Galapagos Is Scandinavian countries Moscow and St. Petersburg Japan and Korea |

First - if money is no object, I'd extend to three weeks if possible. Personally - I would rent a home in a small village in Italy, Slovenia, France - maybe England and go there with knowledge of the place and live there - and explore what is unique about it. Shop, cook, walk, go to the town festivals, small theater productions, etc. Take a cooking lesson or class at whatever the region is know for and proud of.
Surprised at how many say safaris as they just seem like an indulgence once removed from reality but I guess I am also not an 'animal are magical' person. |

| I think I would go to London and Paris, and maybe one other European city. |

| OP, I'm curious... what ideas suggested here excite you the most?? (Because I'm really excited about some of them and will live vicariously through what you plan.) |
