This is cool. Excellent information guys.
Zarak,
It’s my humble opinion that if you could only visit one place in Europe, it would be Prague. I wandered around that city for a week in a daze staring at the architecture. There’s so much history there it’s overwhelming. Plus, it did not get devastated by the war. But it isn’t cheap anymore. After the end of the cold war, it became quite the destination for Europeans. And if you’ve spent much time riding the tubes in London, there is a copy and paste of that system in Prague. Very easy to use.

I've had other people tell me that Prague is a good spot to see as well. Perhaps a 3rd Europe trip at some point will be Munich, Prague, and other points more East in Europe.
If I get sent back to Bern again for work at some point I could see the Alps and Paris being a trip as well. Too many places I want to see in Europe. I feel like there is a lot more I want to see over there than in the states. San Fran and New Orleans (although not as much now that it is not the same any more) are the only two US spots I can think of that I would like to check out and haven't been to.

I could use a job that sends me to Europe. Maybe that will be one of my criteria in my next job search. Not that I'm looking. Unless you know of a job opening that meets this requirement.
