I would love to be in several of these countries, but I am wondering how one gets around the current EU policies of limiting one (in most cases) to only 90 days without a
special permit. Italy, for one, is 30,000 people behind in granting these permits and dates for hearing are three
years out. Solutions, anyone?

France is the LAST on the list, very misleading!

I see that 5 of the top 6 are English-speaking. For me messing around with the language is part of the fun. Don’t let that hold you back if you are at all inclined that way. I just got back from Italy for a week and we are thinking about a whole year now! And France surely deserves better than 25th. Very strange.

I am glad you put Canada at the top of your list. It should be #1. Visiting Prince Edward Island is like a trip to Ireland, including it’s friendly people. If I had to pick a city to live in, Halifax, NS, a lively seaport city, would be my choice. Newfoundland is the Alaska of the East, with it’s unspoiled natural beauty. And behold the splendor of the Canadian Rockies and the lovely west coast. Having traveled all over the world, I consider Canada one of the best kept secrets for wonderful adventures in travel.

I would add Malta! It’s a tiny country but it’s filled with all sorts of interesting things to see. The food is great and the people are wonderfully hospitable. For those who’ve not heard of Malta, it is an island about 60 miles south of Sicily. It was once part of the British Commonwealth, so there are two official languages, Maltese and English. Malta became a member of the European Union in 2004 and among many other things,it is home to the oldest free-standing structures in the world, yes, older than Stonehenge!

I’m not sure I want France to be higher they aren’t very nice if they know that your an American. The list is lacking other places like Vietnam and China.
I could live in Fiji for a year. Just spent a month this past February the people are very friendly and helpful. I agree with Jan Zimmerman, Beth needs to start packing.

Sliante,
Jobie
