So here's the deal. My mom works for the local airliner, Finnair, and that means that as a family member I get cheap(er) tickets than I otherwise would. Unfortunately I am valid for these tickets only until I turn 24, which will be next year. Before that happens I figure I really should use these tickets to make a few trips seeing as once I lose this advantage I propably wont be able to afford to travel anywhere further than Sweden and Estonia.

There are several places around the world I'd like to visit. Among those is North-America. That is where I would like to go this summer for a (relatively) short trip since I've been long overdue for such a voyage. Finnair has direct flights to Toronto, New York, Miami and I am told soon Chicago aswell.

I am looking for suggestions, help, invites, advice, whatever you've. I'm interested to hear from both people who live in North-America and others who don't but have visited. All the details of my trip are open. Which also means that nothing is a 100% at this point. All I can say for sure is that this would be during the summer and that I couldn't possibly make a trip that lasted for more than say two weeks. Would maybe propably have to be less than that.

Some of you might recall me doing a similar thing a few years back (I think) and that didn't happen. This time however I am urged also by the fact that these will be the last months I'll really be able to make any trips worthwhile with these cheaper tickets, as I am going to spend the better part of next semester doing and exchange program in Spain and propably wont be doing any travelling during that time.

I guess this thread can be used for anything travelling related aswell. Also all of you mofo's need to visit Finland.
