It's my home country and some may say that I'm biased, but it's loads of fun to travel.  It might not have a culture that is exotic to me as I've lived there all my life, but it has some of the most beautiful places in the world and wide open vistas.  I spent some time seeing family and friends and a few other things before other ports of call beckoned.  Even though I didn't spend a lot of time there, I saw some great places.
