well depends on where you want to go, despite the aforementioned opinion that we are all mad and blowing each other up and stuff most of europes easy to get around and you can get by with american english as long as you remember pants means underwear to the rest of the world, one thing to think on though is you may get a bit of flak over iraq but dont let that put you off travelling, irelands a nice place to visit, or you could go the other way hop out to the west coast and head to hawaii, then if your feeling brave could head north to midway to look at the birds or could head to japan then down through new zealand to australia, the worlds open for travel.
