klc, I was thinking about Quito in the next couple of weeks! Thanks for the advice!

Interesting to see the mutiple votes for Ireland! I'll try to make it there eventually! Thanks!

Rykat/Motown, I can see where having visited the WTC would leave an everlasting impression. I hadn't been to NY before 2002 and have never been to the financial district.

Tradewinds, your recommendation about Isla Mujeres is about the 10th I've heard. That destination will be on the calendar for next year!

Beachboy, Thailand is a must next year so perhaps I'll try to make it to Malaysia as well... I can be a slave there too, wanna come??? wink
