the travel itch

I'm not sure if it's January cabin fever or the travel bug, but I am oh so itchy to travel.  I would settle for a trip anywhere at the moment, but I'm itchy for an adventure trip...a backpacking on a shoestring trip.  Sometimes I make Loren play a game just to ease my clostraphobia.  It typically when we're having our morning coffee.  I say, "let's pretend that we're on vacation right now, drinking our coffee in _____.  What should we do today?"  We spend the next cup or so of coffee chatting about what where we would be, what we would see, what we would eat.  It's great.  It's my favorite game.  Thankfully, we do have a trip on the agenda!  We'll be sailing the breath-taking British Virgin Islands in slightly over 2 months.  The two of us plus Loren's family, mom, dad, sister, sister's husband, and close family friends, Mike and Linda will be the crew.  I can hardly wait.
Here's a little snack from our past trip in 2009.  85* weather, sparkly blue water, and plenty of time to sit and read a book.   Yes, yes I am looking forward to this treatment again. 


So what will be next after BVI, I haven't a clue.  Here's the ever changing list of places I need to see tomorrow as soon as possible.


Turkey
Ireland.  I would love to do a hiking trip along the coast and stay in B & Bs at night.  Lovely.

 Russia.  A train trip through Russia would be A-mazing.

Greece.  I need several trips here.  I need to explore the mainland and the isles.  Wouldn't it be great to drink your morning coffee from that tabletop tomorrow? 


Great trip suggestions?  Know of any good eateries, pubs, or places to stay?
