looking to the future

as this vacation draws to a close my mind begins to turn to other things.. namely our next vacations.

i have lots of ideas but i (sadly) realize that i can't make them all happen.
here are the front-runners thus far:

france to croatia overland
hits up some exciting cities (venice? grenoble? zagreb?) as well as some new countries (hello, slovenia). and with the 169 € 15-day bus pass this seems like a brilliant plan. if only all the good cities in croatia weren't so far out of the way.

tunisia!
i would love to get to tunisia somehow. they have a) the obvious appeal of being a muslim country with (naturally) beautiful artwork b) the charm of being on the mediterranean and c) very close proximity.. as the crow flies.. to france and moderately inexpensive plane tickets. plus i hear their doors are pretty gorgeous.

iberian peninsula
beautiful beaches, moorish architecture, a little espaƱol, and the ever-elusive tapas. not to mention the one and only annie mchale.

turkey
while i have already been to turkey i am more than sure that it's worthy of a more in-depth visit. i've found some gorgeous regions as well as fabulous architectural masterpieces. now if i could just get around that $45 visa business.

thoughts? comments? relatives who'd like to feed/house me?
send 'em my way.

I vote for Tunisia - I remember us reading all about it awhile back, it sounded amazing. The door-factor pretty much seals the deal, I'd say.
