A whole new world?

Yes, cheesy title. But after much encouragement from my sister and brother-in-law, as well as a few good friends who studied abroad, I've decided that I need to start traveling. Traveling! Instead of blowing my money on Vegas like I did the past 2 times I went on "vacation", it's time for me to visit other parts of the world. Money's always an issue but it seems like it's better to go in debt after traveling because of the experience and lessons I can learn from visiting another country. My friends can't tell me enough how much they grew from living abroad and immersing themselves in a different culture (and yes, "immersing" yourself in one thing or another sounds cliched, but how else can I describe it? Soak? Absorb? Occupy? Involve? Ah, decisions).

My goal is to plan a vacation, a REAL vacation, for 5 days in another country. I always had a mental list of the places I wanted to travel whenever I fantasized about going somewhere, but the question is where do I go first!?
