Get out of the US! You already live there! Go somewhere exotic!
Here are some options, just because you said you did not have a budget :p South Africa-You guys could go on a Safari, incredible experience! Japan Malaysia Thailand Bali- Traveler is right, Bali is a fantastic place with so many sights to see, definitely a good choice! Italy Australia New Zealand Now here is an idea: You could travel down to London, take a look around and then sometime during your vacation, take the Euro Star train from London to Paris, it is about a two hour journey on the train.
So take advantage of this offer, and go somewhere that will make all your friends jealous c I have to say, of the choices above, Safari in South Africa is the best in my opinion. That sort of vacation is considered to be a really luxurious one, so do a little research and have a think about it! You may have this image of sleeping in cheap tents and lots of mosquitoes flying about, but it's not like that at all.
This is one of the many luxurious reserves in South Africa, check it out! http://www.sabisabi.com Another note: I'm not trying to be rude, but do you really want to spend your holiday standing in lines for hours surrounded by noisy children and tourists eating ice cream? When you get back to school, what would sound more impressive?
"I went to Disney World" or "I went to Bali/Africa/Malaysia/Australia/Paris"?
Disney World- Orlando, Fl Universal Studios- Orlando, Fl Myrtle Beach, SC.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
