Heh. Fair enough. Growing up in New York, and living in Seattle, Mexico feels like a default vacation destination if you don't have a lot of money but want to go somewhere warm, sunny, and cheap. But I loved doing it the way I did it. When you live in New York, the Caribbean Islands feel the same way.
Interesting, your thought that one is either an Africa person or an Asia person. I haven't done Asia yet, but I do have a couple of places I'd like to go see. More of my destinations are sort of southeast Asia, I suppose (see above re: Angkor Wat and Bali); Japan and China haven't really been on my radar. I would never have guessed I'd develop an affinity for Africa but there it is. The more I go, the more I want to go. (I do want to see the great migration someday.)
