Long story short, Ill be taking 15 days of RR here in November and the gov. will play for a ticket to anywhere in the world and back. Only thing that really puts me off about traveling to a foreign country(I could be going home for thanksgiving

) is the language barrier. Being some lost retarded in another country asking for directions to here or there is something I dont want to be.
Anyways, where would you go and what would you do? What cities would you go to or places of interest would you go to?
