    Europe in general is amazing. I love to just walk around the old parts of cities seing the views.

    Italy has some amazing art architecture, and food, but all of it is worth visiting. Otherwise, if you want to come to Argentina (Patagonia is nice and touristy, as are the Iguazú falls), I can give you a few tips.

      I am generally of the opinion that you will probably do Europe at some point anyway, so if you have a lot of time and cash to burn go somewhere that requires a lot of time and cash.

          Molly is joking (or maybe not, not sure what his deal is or why he's so bitter), but I actually thought about Antarctica. The problem is the timing. It would be the middle of winter there. Not a great time to visit.

            Mostly it's the time. I'm not going to have two straight months off again probably until I retire.

              Americans leave all the time too. Just look at Sava.

                Wait is Sava really up and leaving over ferguson? That's a rather extreme reaction.

                  I would think that anyone who leaves here could muster up a lot more than just one problematic issue to point to. So more likely, straw that broke the camels back.

                    That sounds like the lamest possible retirement.

                        Argentina seems like it would be a neat thing to do when it's winter in the northern hemisphere. Patagonia's gotta have 20 hours of sunlight around that time of year.

                        Is Buenos Aires interesting at all? What are the significant population centers outside of the Rio de la Plata area?

                          Well, if you come to argentina, you're not rally interested in visiting large cities

                          The city has its share of entertainment, and a city tour or two can be definitely interesting; especially around the historical neighbourhoods around downtown. And there's the option to go see a football match, if you're so inclined.

                          Outside Buenos Aires, going down roughly by general tourist appeal come:

                          The Iguazú falls, which are viable year-round (some months hotter and wetter than others), and pretty amazing. On the way there there are jesuit ruins that can be visited (more in Paraguay, it is possible to go over there for half a day or so, if interested). There's also a couple of jungle lodges that are really nice to go and relax and/or trek around, and another set of falls which are much smaller, bur rather than being across the river, thay're along it. Their appeal is highly dependent on how much water the river has, though (too much or too little, and there's not much to see). A bit to the south, theres some wetlands with some nice fauna to go see (lots of Capybaras, birds, caymans, if you're lucky anacondas and pumas), but you can't hunt them, so you'll probably not be interested .

                          Then comes Patagonia. Then Mendoza, and then the Northwest (Salta), I'll expand later. Work.
