Drive the old route 66.
Visit southern Europe. Start in Munich and head to Austria and Switzerland. Then cross the Alps into northern Italy and head to the Adriatic coast. Then up through Serbia and into Hungary.
Would love to make that trip by train if possible.
Don't, I actually did that trip for a good 15 years every year, as my parents lived in Germany and every year we drove back home, first down to Brac, which is and island close to Split, along the deadly Croatian coastal highway, then up across the Plitvica Lakes, where all those Winnetou movies were made, to Subotica, which is just across the Hungarian border, explaining why I'm considered a Hungarian and not a Serb. Thank God for that!
If you ever do it, rent a car. It is more than worth it. You can start up in the north in Dubrovnik and drive nicely along the coast, stopping along any small restaurant that got goats roasting along on their grill. At least that's what we did.
Also driving the car thru the Alps is just awesome. We didn't do Switzerland but went the Austrian way instead. Salzburg, then Mondsee, and hitting Vienna before entering the Hungarian plains and Neusiedlersee and its famous Wine.
If you got time, take a car as you can stop anywhere you believe worthwile. And there are plenty of those.
I myself want to take Jade sailing across Indonesia, diving with Dolphins and Whales, running with Wilderbeast and Giraffes in Africa, and having Aeppelwoi in Frankfurt and showing her Daddies famous friends Club in the same city.
And Hong Kong of course. And of course Sydney. And maybe taking one of those portable homes and drive from San Diego to San Fransisco. And of course Bungy jumping in New Zealand. And going up the Burj in Dubai. Having afternoon tea with that massive Orang Utan in Singapore Zoo. Seeing her face when we have our first bowl of Bakute in Kuala Lumpur. And, and, and ........
My list is rather massive I'd say.
