My two favorite "vacations" (if you can call them that) were my two major projects at WPI, where I spent the better part of two separate summers in Reykjavik, Iceland and London, England.

London is fantastic in all senses if you love old cities with sights to see on every corner. If you love Boston, you'll love London. And the Tube is the most efficient public transportation system that I've ever experienced. Here's some of the pics from my first trip and some from the second trip

Iceland was ridiculous if you love the outdoors like I do. I brought my bike with me and spent every possible moment (when I wasn't working on the project) riding, hiking, and touring the country. Click here for pics from Iceland

Please mind the dead links in those pages, it's a work in progress....

Rich,
Flagstaf, AZ is a great place to use as a base of operations to see the wonders of the southwest. Indian ruins, extinct volcanoes, a meteor crater, petrified forest and the Grand Canyon are all with a few hours of this city. In town, on Friday nights, they had tours through the Lowell Observatory where Pluto was discovered. A slightly longer drive north will take you to Monument Valley and Four Corners National Monument. If you wanted to continue into Colorado, you can't beat the Durango to Silverton Railroad for scenic beauty beyond belief.
