Re: A country you've never been but want to
I've been across the US, to The Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark. I'd like to visit Japan, Canada, The UK, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, Estonia, Greece, India, China, South Korea, Slovenia, Turkey, Egypt, Poland. Really, I want to go everywhere, though.

Edit: I'm fond of a lot of those three-peaters and would be 100% about all of them coming back. Especially Tyr, Amorphis, and Orphaned Land. -

Bring a sleeping bag, sleep on the balcony (if you book a balcony room). Falling asleep listening to bands from the pool deck and waking up to the rising sun over the ocean is a pretty phenomenal experience.
Also, camelbaks are your friend when you make port. -

I really enjoyed being in a balcony room. I slept outside one night, and it was pretty goddamned grand. It'll be better this year, too, because I'll have the forethought to bring a sleeping bag to make it a bit more comfortable.
Slightly more expensive, totally fucking worth it. -
