Palms, i know what ya mean. I'm not about to let someone else take away the fun of making my decision for me, I just thought I'd throw that question out there. A lot of interesting perspectives though.

Two ideas in particular keep popping up in my mind. One being a New Zealand trip spending the entire time exploring the North and South Islands, and the other being a city-hop around alot of the smaller towns that AS/QX serve in the west and state of Alaska. I could really hit more than one per day all free, camp out, explore parts of the US I've always wanted to, and see some amazing country. Hmmm...........
