I love falafel. Even make my own. Everything there is good. The best part is the waffle toasted pita and the sauce they use.

Chuck, great list. I'm at 45. I'm more big city and less nature boy, so the parks and waterscapes I miss out on.

I think I've been to 13 states and 9 countries.

Not too well traveled. Adam, Italy is fantastic. Eric, where is your grandfather from? My family, the non Mexican half, came from Sicily. Did the whole Ellis Island thing.

I need your recipe. Love the stuff, often hit a Mediterranean restaurant here that makes some to die for.

Was thinking the same thing. Looked into it but wouldnt be able to make it in time this year, unfortunately

[mrwicked]

ah bummer.

i think i might roll - might bop around austria and then head up for start of the festival.

[Guest]

Lived in Paris for a bit during undergrad (2011) and traveled all over Western Europe during that time. I particularly enjoyed going to Munich for Oktoberfest. I'm too lazy to post the rest right now.

man, ive been trying to hit vienna forever but still hasnt happened. Would love to go in the winter

[mrwicked]

yeah. i am thinking sfo -> vienna, salzburg, munich, then fly back to sfo.

but now i am thinking maybe its a good time to do ireland.

f*ck it. maybe i'll just roll to sacramento and chill.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Sac town is a great alternative.

Is SF to europe about the same price as LA? I would think it would be cheaper from down here, or maybe from seattle.

I might be doing the UK in a month or two. Still undecided. Flights are getting cheap though and its time to take some time off. Really wanting to get to eastern europe for a change

eastern europe is the sh*t! definitely go if you haven't been.

krakow poland is one of my top 5 favorite cities. budapest is great too.

my parents were in romania last month they said it was fantastic (ive never been).

i dunno how much flights from LA are, ive never done over the pond out of LA.

for this trip im just gonna use amex points, so dont even really know how much it costs.

definitely seems to be cheaper than normal though, like you said.

Loved krakow. Went there to see aushwitz. The people in krakow were great, super friendly. The town square is gorgeous. I love the buglar up in the tower, the story behind it is real cool

Budapest has been at the top of my list forever but cant convince anyone to go. A girl i date on and off just got back from croatia and the pics look insane, wouldnt mind adding that to my list

[ten ocho recon scout]

One of these times i go i think im gonna take aeroflot. Its pretty cheap and usually has a layover in moscow. I wouldnt mind seeing that for a day or two

[Blarg]

Heading to Moro Bay for the weekend to simply unwind after seven weeks without a day off.

[mrwicked]

all of the talk about florence in the other thread is making me want to head to italy.

ive never been to venice or florence.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I havent seen florence, but liked venice. I know its touristy, but the canals are really pretty. Like to get back there someday but want to see some other things first

[Stradling]

I love history, but have average recollection of what I learn as it relates to history, but since I love history I loved Rome. I also just appreciated the fact that they have buildings that are 1000 years old.

[mrwicked]

For me, Italy has some cool things, the food, cafes, the history, but I always found the night life to be lacking. I like how the Germany/Ireland enjoy their drinking, makes things more social. Croatia is similar to Italy in many ways, but seems like people in Croatia party a lot harder, if that's what you are into.

 

yep totally agree.

but ive already been all over germany and croatia and done the party scene.

this adventure will be with the wife as newlyweds. 

we love to party, but i am aiming to drink copious amounts of wine, eat ridiculous food and bop around a gorgeous country neither of us have spent much time in.

thus why i switched gears from oktoberfest. but could be fun to hit it up again next year.

 

off topic i want to do dia de los muertos in oaxaca eventually, have you even been down there for that festival?
