Dream Vacation

My dream vacation would be a 6-month trip to meet all of my former ESL students in their home countries. I would begin in Brazil, head to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, then Japan and China. Fingers crossed for this one! I am an impulse one way ticket buyer so it may happen sooner rather than later. :)
