Need ideas

Ok everyone get your thinking caps on...

I have 3 weeks off over the christmas period this year. I know it is ages away but it is a biggish deal for me as it coincides with my 40th birthday and I am thinking of spending it somewhere special, now those that know me I am normally up for anything and have some ideas for myself.

Madagascar
Borneo (Weather could be an issue)
Komodo Island
Amazon
Antarctica
India (Tigers)

1 vote for Antarctica. That is the top of my list for where I want to go. Sigh... 1 day!

Borneo is fantastic mate, as I've told you in the past.

I'm looking at India for Tigers myself this year. Antartica is definitely on the to do list if I can convince the better half that holidays aren't just about hot and sunny places!

Come and visit here. We have 2 Amazon warehouses within a 20 mile drive from my house.

Borneo is too wet in December.

Another place is Patagonia but not sure about it weather wise.

If that sounds too exiting i do think Patagonia would be good if the weather is going to work for you.

Costa Rica looks dry in December

Looks interesting

Apparently December is peak season for Patagonia and the scenery looks amazing hmmm

I think they have moved Patagonia on me...

[h=4]What kind of night-life is available in Patagonia?[/h]You will find a variety of night-clubs, cabarets, pubs, coffeshops and live performances to choose from, and there are also four casinos, in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.

Yes it is lol.

But it does bring the south Island on to my Radar hmmm and I have never been there

Too much of the world that is worth seeing mate

Not a suggestion for 3 weeks but just visited Egypt

Antarctica would be tops on my list - less visited and not as accessible.
