So I have an additional week of vacation coming to me in 2013 and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it.
I'm looking for fun suggestions. Cost is something of a concern (I can afford to spend a few thousand, but don't want to spend more than that).
Thoughts?

My 2 Cents:To start, Urban Exploration via http://www.expatexplore.com is always cheap and fun. (Turkey & Greece: $$$, 4/5 Stars, Fun in the Sun, party all night long..) Phuket: $$$, 5/5 Stars, Thailand...need I say more... E.U. Train tour: $$, 5/5 Stars, Adventure for cheap. Vegas: $$$, 5/5 Stars, what happens there, doesn稚 stay there  Oahu: $$$, 4/5 Stars, Fun in the Sun, party all night long.. New Zealand: $$$, 4/5 Stars, hmmmm, you know Turk and Caicos: $$, 3/5 Stars, Fun in the Sun, party all night long.. Dominican Republic: $$, 3/5 Stars, All Inclusive Vacation Deals... and always..... Montreal: $$, 3/5 Stars, NY's best, just more Frenchy...food, exploring..etc It really comes down to how much party vs. exploration vs. relaxation you want...etc..

Obvioulsy Gen Con.
If that is already accounted for, I say Tokyo.
It's single guy friendly, fairly easy for english speakers to navigate and yellow submarines abound with crisp japanese foily goodness.

The GenCon request is already in the books. Either I go to GenCon 2013, or have a week off in August. Not the worst thing in the world.

Thank you for the offer. I think I'd like to get a little further away from home than New Jersey though.

If I can manage a trip outside of the U.S., I'm going to. |

I'll second Bazaar of Moxen. I went once and it was a blast, and would go every year if I could. Failing that you might be interested in going to the big Italian Doomsday tournament, which would be pretty fun, and you could spend time traveling Italy.

Since Gen Con is a given, I'll change my vote and back BoM 2013. It hasn't been posted yet, but France in May is pretty nice.

Of course you have to come in France for BoM !! I will go this year. Out of Magic :Iceland. The no man's land. I have a blast to trip around this island ! In one week, with a car rent and some Ticket "Bed and breakfast" (you sleep at farmer's house along the road) you make all the things Geyser, golden fall, Iceberg, big natural parc, Blue Lagoon, Volcano, one day at Reykjavic, boat for whale - Puffin's island. http://www.geo.de/GEO/fotografie/fotowettbewerbe/fotowettbewerb-island-52894.html?maction=img&img=22305 |

Whoever said New Zealand, what he said . Australia is worth a look as well. |
