Cheesy Vacation Choices

I know the argument could be made that after my trip to Disney World, I could not go anywhere cheesier, but I disagree. I want to go somewhere even more associated with cheese, such as Green Bay, Wisconsin or the Limburg region in Europe, but not sure which one. Green Bay has Packer games and is much easier to fly to Wisconsin than to Limburg from New York City, and its cheese smells good. Limburg is known for having terrible smelling cheese, but they have tourist attractions such as thermal baths to make up for it.

Which cheesy region, Wisconsin or Limburg, would you rather fly to and what airline would you take to get there?

Phoenix or Prague

Have you ever been offered half-price tickets to any city in the world as long as its name starts with the letter "P"? Me neither, but I figure I might as well be prepared just in case. My top two choices are Phoenix and Prague and I'm not sure which of the two I'd choose. Prague is, from what I've seen, a very beautiful city with plenty of history while still being modern. Phoenix, on the other hand, is much warmer during the winter months and is a car ride away from breathtaking national barks such as the Petrified Forest and Grand Canyon. Phoenix is also a shorter ride that Prague would be, at least if they are both direct flights.

Which of the two cities would you choose and how would you get there?

Flying to a Party (and back)

I'm trying to make plans for 2012, and just in case the Mayans were actually right I want to get in as much partying as I can. That means there are two logical choices - New Orleans for Mardi Gras or Brazil for Carnivale. Would like to do both but if the world doesn't end then my liver and bank account wouldn't be able to handle that. The crux of the flylemma is that Brazil takes longer to get to, but it has much more beautiful beaches and people. If you were me, or even if you were you, where would you go?

I would also appreciate advice about which airline to take. Price is important, but smoothness of ride is also essential considering the likely hangover after days of debauchery.

Flight For Faith?

I've got this urge to visit a place where a major religion was born, in case being surrounded by all that history could help with my own spirituality. As to which religion, however, I am undecided. The obvious choice would be Israel, and I would take El Al to get there, but that would be a long flight. Going to Rome, the birthplace of Roman Catholicism and Jupiter worship, would not take quite as long although there is slightly less religious history in Rome. I'd probably take Alitalia to get there if I chose Rome unless there is a better option to fly from New York to Italy. What do you suggest?

Volcanic Vacation Advice?

I want to take a vacation somewhere that has ample volcanoes. The thrill of climbing up to the rim and peering into the lake of fire is unparalleled, but funds are not unlimited so I can only take one such vacation this year. I'm thinking either Hawaii, with its beautiful weather and majestic peaks such as Mauna Loa, or Iceland, which has tons of volcanoes and plenty of fascinating Viking history which could be explored while resting my legs. Coming from JFK airport in New York, both would be long but worthwhile flights, with the warmer Hawaii taking slightly longer to get to. Which would you recommend, Hawaii or Iceland? Also, what airline do you think is best to take to get there?
