Poll question: Air fares are ridiculously low right bow. Where should I go this summer?
I'm already heading to Amsterdam next month but I want to take another trip while the fares are ridicuously cheap. Where to?

2. Do you prefer the overcrowded touristy night life thing or...
Do you prefer the out of the way, walk the beach with your willie swinging free thing...

or

Do you prefer the scenic/outdoor/adventure kind of thing?

7. I'm definitely a night life type of person.
I'd go to Australia if I could afford it but even the cheapest fares there are still almost $1,000.

11. I might already be going to New York this year so Newark wouldn't be that far off.

5. Hmmm... let's see... however shall I vote on this one?
:sarcasm:

Our hotels are ridiculously cheap (compared to what they have been), too. Occupancy is down to near 60% -- about average in the real world, but shockingly bad for here where they like it to be over 80, so they can do 6 or even 7 million visitors in a single year.

6. Sydney from LAX or SFO have good deals I hear
something like $1000 for round trip flights and 4-5 nights at a nice hotel.

9. Qantas will do you even better than that
They have package deals where you get the flight to Sydney and can fly around within the country for a low price. Sort of like Aussie Eurail. :P
