Where does everyone like to go when they take off on holiday?
I'm partial to:
Hungary
Germany
Jordan
I went to Romania in the winter of 2008 and didn't care for it.
Looking at the following destinations for future trips.
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Czech Republic
Ireland
Iceland
Austria
Slovenia
Australia. You know why.

Recommend Perth or Brisbane.

Nice! I def need to check Oz out....
Better than PI?
Haven't been there but I have been to Thailand and I'm told they are roughly the same.
So, prolly not better but just as good in a different way.

I'll have to second this. Last year my wife and I spent three weeks there on our honeymoon. We just left our cell phones at home and disappeared to the other side of the planet. We spent one week diving & snorkeling, one week touring the outback and the last week in Sydney relaxing.
Besides being outcast from the British Empire, Aussies and Americans have a lot in common. There are many parallels between our culture and theirs.

Aruba.
They were devastated by the oil recession in the 70's, so when they upgraded for tourism they got NEW desalinization plants, not old 1920's tech elsewhere.
The people remember what it was like to have nothing and are friendly still. They seem happy to have tourists.
Sure, there's still a scam where they steal the tire and jack off of your sidekick and sell it back to the rental people that hit you with a fee, but that happens anywhere if you're not mindful for it.
And the restaurants are AWESOME. They get good south american grass fed beef.
We stayed at the newer hilton, and there were no salespeople on the beach selling hair braiding and agricultural products. It was nice and peaceful with the cabana and Jose with the white oakleys bringing mango daquiris. (I'm from Puerto Rico, I have a weakness for mango.)
Australia is fantastic, though I'm partial to Thailand myself.
On that note, feel free to PM me for a beer if anyone is passing through.
Oh and Italy is amazing, probably some of the best times of my life.
