Where to go???

So I'm trying to decide where I want to go for my Senior graduation trip. I just thought I'd post the options Im thinking about. There'll be a poll for voting on them too. We'll see if anyone votes at all :P Also, I've been wanting to start travel-blogging for ages now, so this is the start of that. Basically I want to cover the places I've been already, and then of course the trip im about to do.

But first here are the options for the upcoming trip.

#1. Malaysian Borneo.

This has always been my preference. I planned the trip here years ago, but now as we were gearing up to actually go, plane tickets have gone up and it looks like it will be too expensive to go. Sadness. The big attractions for me in Borneo include: Rainforest and its associated critters. Borneo has the some of the worlds best rainforest, and some really cool animals like Elephants, Rhinos, and Orangutans, and of course a billion different kinds of everything else. Biologist Paradise :) We'd also be doing a good bit of jungle trekking and caving which are super fun. Both national parks we'd be visiting are covered in awesome rugged jungle terrain, and have really nice places to stay and relax.

#2. Amazon river Cruise.

I've always thought this could be cool. Basically cruisin' down the Amazon in a riverboat for about a week, sleeping on board and taking side trips during the days. lotsa cool stuff to see and some pretty awesome rainforest. (not as cool as Borneo's though...) With this we might even add on doing some other stuff, and there are some other pretty cool options for that too.





#3. Costa Rica.

Yeah I know I lived here for a year and have already seen a ton of stuff in the country, but I LOVE Costa Rica. I dont know exactly what I'd want to do here but there is no shortage of awesome options that have and have not done/gone to before. Watching Volcan Arenal erupt at night? Going back to Punta Leona and hiking for miles down pristine beaches boarded by rainforest? Zip-lining thorugh the treetops at Monteverde? The list goes on and on. .........Oh and yes, the picture is Arenal. I have indeed been there and seen that. coolest thing ever.






#4. Antarctica.

Yup! I've been close. (As you look at a map of chile from top down, I've been as far as the first big island (Chiloe). This trip would mostly be in southern Chile, seeing tierra del fuego, the straights of Magellan and Torres del Paine, with a day trip to Antarctica. It's on the expensive side though, and this trip might be too much $$$. But it's still an option. A very cool (pun intended :P ) option. And besides, who do you know that's been to Antarctica? Yeah. Nobody.




#5. A few other Ideas
These Include: A trip to see Angel falls in Venezuela (Worlds tallest water fall); - A Carribean dive/relaxation vacation. Yes Ive been to the Carribean before. Haiti. Not a very pretty place. I'd love to just hang at some sweet beach and get some more great Diving in my log; - Or finally an African Safari and Rift-Lakes-diving trip.  Soooo what should I do???? There are just so many great options! :D
