I have a friend trying to work out what the acceptable amount of beer he can bring back from his weekly trips to Mexico is (the legal limit is 1 liter) before he would risk running afloul of DHS/ICE people. I kind of created a monster when I pointed out that while Canada (lovely city, you should visit
) and the USA are region 1, Mexico is in the worst region for DVD and most video games as they are lumped in with the Aussies and can wait up to a year for hardware/software to be released in their native countries. The problem is that he can buy a wii for 200 here and sell it for 800 there. Well that's not the problem, I just don't want to have to call in favors if he gets caught.

I live in Canada so my first choice right now would be the US - specifically Orlando and WDW!
Aside from that, Germany and Italy are top of the list. I love the German pavillion - the music, beer and food. I remember looking at pictures of Octoberfest celebrations my grandparents attended while visiting Germany when I was a kid. I have always wanted to visit myself. DW has relatives living there - we just need to decide to forgo a WDW vacation one year and go to Europe instead - easier said than done...
Can't get back to WDW soon enought, but alas, no immediate plans...

You should try to go while you have relatives that live there. A big part of the expense is lodging!
