Stop #1: Singapore. We wanted to go to southeast asia for a real honeymoon so this is where we will be going. We will probably stay between 5-7 days there, depends on how much interests us. We had no reason to go here besides the fact that our around the world flight stops here. Works for us!
Stop #2: Munich. Also not on our list but our flight goes there as well. We wanted to go to Amsterdam to visit Barney's cousin there. We will probably take the train to Amsterdam and a few other places, than fly to Greece for a few days as well. Any suggestions of where to go? We are not going to the UK as I'v been to London and Barney has no desire to go. I've been to Italy, Austria and Germany so I would love to go to France, Holland, southern Italy and Greece. Ambitious, but we'll see. We might spend 2-3 weeks there.
Stop #3: LA/Vegas. We won't be spending any time in LA as there is no appeal there for us, but we will mostly likely head straight to Vegas to see my sister, her husband and their new little boy Benjamin who I have yet to meet. There are unable to travel outside of the US right now due to visa's so we'll go to them instead.
Stop #4: Vancouver!! It's going to be so great to see the family again and spend time in the city I enjoy so much. We are planning on having a reception sort of thing when we are there for all of the family that couldn't (understandably) make it to Australia.
And last but not least, back to Sydney. We were hoping to stop in Hong Kong as well to visit Barney's brother who lives there, but he might be in Australia anyways so hopefully we will see him there.
We are planning on being away for 4-5 weeks depending on what we can get off. Hopefully closer to 5.. maybe even 6 if we can push our luck at work :) The best part: the cost of a set around the world flight is pretty much the same as a return ticket to Vancouver. Why not?!
I am very much looking forward to travelling again. I'm anxious to go to South America/Antarctica so I can finish off seeing all the continents but that will just have to wait for now!
What has been your favorite place to travel?

Hey Lynn!
We did france/italy & holland in April 09 i believe...and ehres what I thought:
France - meh, was okay - paris was good for a day - see the sights & carry on. We found it generally not a welcoming/friendly area. We did stay at a B&B in Nice, which was beautiful and quite relaxing!
Italy - we did mainly just rome - which was GREAT! I loved being in Italy - felt so safe and secure all the time. The food was great, as was the overall treatment of tourists from the Italians. Loved it. So much to see & do as well. Loved the coliseum (would suggest getting the headsets to really visualize what it used tobe like)
ANd holland - just gorgeous. Amsterdam was amazing - didn't love teh red light district, but you cannot go to amsterdam and not see it. It's a tough place, but its a must see. We stayed at a B&B in amsterdam , in the Jordaan district - and you could bike everywhere. We also went up to friesland and loved it tehre as well. Holland is so small you can get anywhere within a few hours! We also went to the keukenhoff - the tulip area - great. Loved that as well. ! And we went to a cheese market which was great. Fresh dropjes - fantastic. mmm so good.
Hope this helps. :) I can get the info for B&B if you want...let me know :)
