well for my 21st birthday my mom has always wanted to take me to las vegas. but im not much into gambling and would rather go somewhere ive always wanted to go. there are 3 places I have always been fascinated with: Russia, Germany and Ireland. Ireland, mostly because thats where my family is from and I have always wanted to go. I have only been outside the US once and that was on a cruise to the Bahamas. Has anyone ever been to germany or ireland? We don't know when the best time to go would be. We dont want to go over the summer or christmas because it would be too touristy and too expensive. We want to go for about a week. Our birthdays are only like a week apart so were combining birthday presents lol. My bday is late august and his is early september. Does that sound like a good time to travel?
