I'm also a little addicted to traveling: my list: Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Germany (E+W), Poland, Hungary, Switserland, Austria, Luxembourg, France, Monaco, Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Italy, UK, Ireland, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Venezuela. The most special one is hard to tell but Iceland, New Zealand and Venezuela are into my top list. The last time was Germany, the longest was New Zealand (3 months 8) ) Today, I was a taxi for my friend. He left to Spain ... I wish I could leave too :roll:
