Where should the wife and I go on our vacation?

[Gandalf]

India? Peculiar choice. Sounds like a Master kind of thing. In terms of natural beauty, I would suggest Thailand. But watch out for jungles, cars and leeches. I've heard the beaches are great, but I was too busy venturing north.

How so? It's renowned as a wonderful place and it's one of the most popular backpacking countries in the world.

Backpacking is not something that I particularly like. I hate students and I hate tourists and furthermore I hate young hippies looking for mystical enlightenment. Not my cup of tea at all. It seems like a place that would irritate me quite quickly.

I would also suggest somewhere like Hong Kong, but India just sounds like a place to induce severe bowel strain.

Hong KOng would be cool, but I suspect it would be very expensive.

I'm not really fond of people either, but I love seeing new places and India seems like a very unique environment.

Doesn't hating students make being a teacher difficult?

May I suggest Cambodia? Angkor Wat is amazing to visit and look at.

If we decide to do Vietnam, we will absolutely take a trip into Cambodia to see Angkor Wat. It looks and sounds spectacular.

i did the vietnam / cambodia thing last year. One of those tours where you join a tour group.

Strongly recommend it - do it

Tasmania.

Plenty of backpacker hostels. Great sites, friendly people. Not too far from King Island.

A tour through China, I have heard is good.

There are too many hippies in India.

I would suggest west coast of Scotland, including Loch Lomond National Park, and Ben Nevis, then travel South down the west coast and visit the Lake District National Park in North West England, fantastic scenery, great weather , and friendly people

If you want travel tips I can give you some good advice , if you want to backpack and stay in hostels , then i have only this advice , stay in a luxury hotel.

In the places we're looking at going, $15-20 will probably get us close to whatever passes for a decent hotel. I have no desire to sleep in a dorm full of idiots. However, I also have no desire to spend over $100/night on accommodations.

I would love to see the UK, but I suspect it would cost more than we're willing to spend at this point.

We're looking at spending a maximum of $4,000 between us over three weeks.

UK sucks, you lose all your money on public transportation. Plus any decent hotel is going to break you and that aren't all that.

Maldives as James and Andre suggested.

This is the last place I stayed on, having a refurb at the min, but it's an incredible place.
