14 Days Off - Where to go?
So I got the "surprise" of 14 days off in early August. I'd like to make the most of it by going somewhere, preferably outside of the USA. Anyone have any suggestions on where would be best to spend 14 days off? Trying to find a place that's more budget/reasonable in price. Not opposed to Europe, but I've done a lot of the "typical" European stuff (Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Nuremburg, etc).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Lots of personal faves, might or might not work for you.
1. Atlantic Canada - Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Gaspe peninsula (Quebec) and maybe even France (Saint-Pierre & Miquelon.)
2. South Africa - Garden Route including Addo Elephant National Park, then over to West Coast National Park, ending in Cape Town. Google the places on this map - https://goo.gl/maps/xvqF6juYsJvXQnny6
3. Brittany - oysters, crepes and cider.
4. Northeastern Scotland - Aberdeenshire, Speyside whisky country, etc. Not as crazy popular as the western Highlands (or festival-season Edinburgh) but marvelous country with lots to see and do.

Were it me, I'd be grabbing my golf clubs and heading for Scotland and Ireland. Beautiful countryside, plenty of opportunities for self induced frustration and loss of little white balls, as well as lots to do when digging divots.
