i have been to china and japan for meetings. we were to go to greece last summer for the ISN conference but that fell through. eventually, we will go all over europe as work dictates...so i will see europe thankfully for free.
i understand why many people like europe but neither my wife nor i really care about old buildings, history, old world charm, etc. we are the type of people that went to the great wall and said..."oh, a wall." or the grand canyon and said "oh, a hole." we'd go see the sights in europe and not be impressed. every time we take a vacation, we talk ourselves out of europe because from all the stories and pictures of friends there, we know we'd be bored quickly. we just value different things out of a vacation.
