I have not taken a holiday in ages and wanted to take 3 weeks off in
August/September and do a European country. The choices right now are
Italy,
Greece and Spain.

Any suggestions? I had planned on renting a car and driving around
rather
than jumping on an organized tour. Any recommendations?

Actually, I wanted to mention France too, but I figured I would have
drawn
fire from the likes of McKelvy!


I doubt if France has suffered any serious tourism drop because of the
fact
there government is wimpy on terrorism.

If I were taking a vacation abroad, my choices, for what it's worth, would
be Ireland or Hong Kong.


I've been to Ireland before, and I just returned from a trip that took me to
Hong Kong for a few days.
