Trust me it's something that is memorized in my head. You said 5 place within the destination but I could easily rattle of these right now - Well, #1 FAR and BEYOND would be Kehlsteinhaus (the Eagles Nest) and Berchtesgaden, the Nuremberg Rally Grounds, the Berlin Flak Tower, Dachau, Auschwitz, the Reichstag, Arnhem Bridge, Anne Frank’s House, Brandenburg Gate, The Holocaust Memorial...long list :) Since I lost my kid now if finally the good opportunity to look into traveling again. Long story of which you know quite a bit about. That video with the stuffed animals was HYSTERICALLY FUNNY! :)<br /> <br />Mikehttp://pastmycufew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-27389467749482828772014-10-30T16:48:58.467-05:002014-10-30T16:48:58.467-05:00This is awesome!

If I had to follow your rules of not picking a place I've been before, I think I'd go with Spain! I had a trip booked to go, but at the last minute everything fell through and I couldn't make it. There are so many awesome things I want to do: eat tapas, visit all the Gaudi sites, sip wine, explore the food market in Barcelona.

Although, I did get outvoted for the Thanksgiving trip next month. I wanted Portugal and the kids and hubby wanted Italy. Italy really is a great choice for kids and your son chose well. My kids help with the research for now too. My all-expense paid trip is a toss-up between Portugal and Norway.
