Thanks , but i think i should've been more clear. I would prefer something far away from this part of the world (as in Canada/America/South America) because i would be here anyways. Preferably something towards europe, asia .. that side ..

Barcelona is a fantastic place to see a different way of life than our North American Big Box Store/Starbuck crass consumerism society..

I think Air Transat has direct flights from Toronto. Try to get a direct flight and save the stress of connections so you can better enjoy your trip.

And resist trying to see too much and go too far abroad. Barcelona has SO much to see and offer that one week barely gets you oriented.

Take some architecture/city tours, do the tapas crawl, the afternoon paseo down Las Ramblas.

Great idea ! thanks rubmeister.. Spain has always been some place i'd like to visit

Agree...Barcelona is a great place...for a quick week away, would be one of my first choices. If you want something a little more exotic, from Spain, easy trips to Morocco. An incredible country to visit. Beaches, Deserts, Mountains...the Casbah.

Budget please
 
i second Barcelona too... if you're mainly interested in hobbying, I'd suggest Berlin or Eastern European countries like Slovakia, Poland or Hungary.
 
Barcelona is indeed great. Let's not forget that the women in Spain are exceptionally hot as well.

Grab a seat on a patio on Las Ramblas and enjoy the sights.
 
Munich is one of my favourite places. It is a charming old town, often called the biggest village in Europe. Great food, beer and eye candy, lots of fun to just walk through the old city center, and has several world class sites as well, if you want to do touristy stuff (Deutsches Museum, Viktualmarket, Dachau, Hofsbrauhaus, Garmisch). It comes with a full slate of FKK clubs, and an affordable and vibrant hobbying scene, largely based on brothel-like apartment buildings. Visit www.rote-laterne.de for more info on that. Direct flights from Pearson can be found quite cheap, if you shop around and book early. Enjoy.
 
one week? maldives - no way. Great place
go to Italy. Great food , great wine , u wont get bored.
if u go to europe really try to get 10 days
 
Go on a CRUISE Man The prices are FANTASTIC now because of the economy!!! I go on Holland America and do either Eastern Carb or Western Carb. :)
 
I've never been able to relax overseas in just a week.

You know what that leaves...?


VEGAS Baby!!!!!!!!!
 
cruise? go for it. once you are in international waters that is a great place to kill somebody or be killed!
seriously, I do hear people loving cruises
 
Cookies,
You actually don't have alot of choices.
With only 7 days, most of the world is off limits.
Forget about most of Asia...you'd lose a couple of days travel and renergizing.
Jet lag can be devastating on such a short stay.
The time of year is key too.
Flying direct to a city is doable, London, Paris, Berlin, yada yada, are good choices...maybe a little cold. Spanish and Italian cities have beaches in May and beautiful women, so you'll feel rewarded.
If you have to take additional long distance transit (i.e., from Athens to the islands) that will be more time lost. If you can swing 10 days, more places are possible.
Frankly, if I had a week, and $3500, I'd go to direct to Rio de Janeiro (Delta). (PM me if you're serious). Women, fun, sun, exotic, cheap and so so much fun...but you need a visa which takes a couple of weeks.
Hope this helps. HtM
