Seville, Spain and Istanbul, Turkey. There are very few things that I deem really beautiful in this world, Istanbul is one of them.

Agreed. I could live in Sevilla.

My favorite place, though, is Tibet, especially the Reting area. I could live there too.

I also like:
Jaipur and Haridwar, India
Kyoto, Japan
Pokhara, Nepal
Hua Hin, Thailand

Israel, Germany, and Normandy France. Tel Aviv is awesome when your not fearing for your life. Germany has the best beer and the Autobahn and Normandy France is so Pro American that it felt like home when I ws there. All 3 feature some very attractive women with accents. A woman with an accent is instantly more attractive than one of equal hotness and has no accent.

My wife and I went on a ten-day vacation to Israel in June. We simply rented a car and drove from one end to the next, and it was just incredible. The Dead Sea is one strange experience.

Monument Valley and the Arches National Park, both in the southwest, are among my favorite visited places. My wife and I honeymooned in the mountains in Peru (up to Macchu Picchu), which was also a pretty stunning trip. I also loved the three days I spent a few years ago in Memphis. What a great town. In terms of sport venues, I'm very glad I got to see a game in the old Tiger Stadium before the team moved out and the city tore it down.

I loved the Dead Sea and the Masada. The Mountains to the north next to the sea of Galilee are awesome too. I also like the beaches right off of the Mediterranean. The Jordan River had be my favorite area though. I did not get a chance to see Jerusalem but I did see the desert in the south of the country. It is amazing how much of a diverse geography they have in a country in the size of New Jersey.

Can't believe I forgot to mention New Orleans, I knew I was forgetting something

New Orleans was really impressive when I visited about 6 years ago. My favorite places to visit have been Vancouver and Argentina.

Munich. Best decent sized city I've ever been to, bar none as far as day to day living goes. Between Oktoberfest, Biergartens, Englischer Garten, tons of public transport, bike paths... just a very nice city.

La Maddalena, Italy. Lived there for 3 years, it's a tiny archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea just off the northern tip of Sardinia (Sardegna). Clear emerald water, lots of night life within 5 minutes walk and about 45 minutes from Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda. Also 5 minutes from Club Med on a nearby island and a wildlife preserve. Topless beaches full of smoking hot vacationing Italian girls... It's a good spot.

Reykjavik, Iceland. Lived there also for 3 years. (Go Navy, lol) The economy is in shambles right now, but it's a beautiful place to visit during the summer. Snowmobile rides across the glacier, bathing in hotsprings during the winter and tons of nightlife. Something like 75% of the Iceland's population lives in Reykjavik.

Rome, Italy. Obvious choice but hard to argue with. Best to go during late Spring before everyone goes on vacation and it gets unbearably hot. Countless things to do...

+1 Munich is a great place to visit. If you ever get a chance to go, skip the Hofbrau house and head to the Andechs restaurant. Better beer, and no tourists. It's really close to the Marienplatz. Best glass of beer I have ever had. Ever.

September is a good time to visit. The cold and hardcore wind won't be in full swing yet. I assume you're going to Reykjavik... how long are you staying for?

I'm actually only going for a weekend, next time I'll go longer. I'm really hoping I see the Aurora Borealis. Always been a wish of mine to see that, and if I get to share that moment with my wife...I might just cry double rainbow style

Definitely hit up the Blue Lagoon and the Pearl, a little touristy but something you should do if you're there. There's also some great cafes and bakeries in Reykjavik. Sandholt was my favorite and it's downtown on the main shopping street/walking mall. I'm guessing if you need some supplies you'd want to stop by this place... and that should put you in the mood for this..
