None of the above I would give the money to charity. I travel 38 weeks of the year and traveling on my time off seems a bit odd. Your four choices for me are less than optimal they all have worts with no benefit.
Two weeks to place I would go, Burgos, Madrid, Lisabon, Sophia, Osaka, Queenstown, Melbourne, Bristol,. In the US Minneapolis, Salt Lake, Boise, Portland Or, Portland ME, Richmond VA, ......... and others. NYC is a Port Potty that no one has cleaned out in a century and stinks and is expensive.
Melbourne is not to shabby with a great food scene. The Yara Valley is close and the crews down on the river are really fun to watch. I would hate to compete against some of them.
Last time there saw a group of women's pairs that were all Olympic quality. They asked if I wanted to get kitted out they had spare gear in the Boathouse. I politely declined crewing however did have Beers with 3/3 of the crew members and their partners. Aspirin and water were needed the next morning.
Yes indeed have visited Oz many times. Oh yeahmy buddy has cooked in several of the top end restaurants and now owns two
Thank you, Archer. I do not like any of the choices in the question. It was more like what is the lesser of the evils type of querie. But I really like your selection of places that someone who is very well-traveled would choose.
