Got to admit, Noosa is tempting, although I spent 2 years living on the Sunshine Coast many moons ago, so I'm sort of Queenslanded out, although the Gold Coast might be a possibility. As long as I can sit on a beach at some stage and it's warm...which is why as much as I'm still thinking Sydney I know it's not warm enough this time of year.

Thailand is looking good, if I can get a passport in time :-) One of the best things about living in WA, cheap airfairs into Asia, can do Phuket for a week for under $1k (AUD).

Oooooh....too much to choose from there.

I like Clay's thinking, but if you're leaning toward asia I say Thailand. Beautiful country, people, weather, and a nice place to relax.

China is also awesome, but for different reasons. Beijing is an amazing city, and the history is astounding. However, you'll need to sort out your visa if you want to head that way.

I can chat with you on Skype if you like. I've been to all the places you've listed.

Noosa - go surfing.
Must say though... pretty extreme to have to holiday when the mother in-law comes to visit ;) ... I haven't got to that stage yet, maybe because she hasn't ever stayed over...

In order: Shanghai, New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Singapore.

Here is a doozy, go visit Darren. Stay in a hotel, and have some fun with your business partner.

NY is tempting...but the cost is way too much...unless I'm sponsored for some speaking gigs, I will happily do it for the flight...but without the sponsorship...it's too much.

Come to New York. We can hit all the cool sites on the East Coast and drink a few beers. Snarkfest 06 anyone?

I had a great week in Singapore when I decided to sail home from Perth instead of fly. It's great place and not owned by China, so reasonably free. Terrific shopping: hand-made suits for next to nothing. And the food is interesting.

jesse, too far. I'd love to go to ireland, sooooo much it's scary...tomorrow, but I've got to keep it in my cost ratio, which is no more than $1500 AUD full accomodation and food. I know I'll need to spend more, but I need to include the food in that.
