Trainings and NETworx

I find myself drawn ever moreso to the allure of travel.  Being in places I really have no right to be in, just to be there, and experience life there is very intriguing.  I'd love to find a way to travel each year a few times.  Maybe even finding a less-than-often traveled means of getting there.  Like getting to a country via boat instead of plane, but not cruise-liner, and closer to fishing boat or charter.  Hell, even walking there from another country would be nice.  And I'd love to do it in different garb than expected.  It would be unique for the locals and make it bit more memorable.

Places I'd like to visit:

Japan

Cuba

Iceland (even though they were the bad guys from Mighty Ducks 2)

Cancun

Brazil (during Carnival)

Mexico City (during La Dia de los Muertos)

Peru??? (Bro-in-law is from there)

Australia

New Zealand

Bahamas

WW2 tour (England, Italy, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Austria, Switzerland)

Sweden

Greece

Anyways, learning the languages to me would be important.  So that would be:

Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, French, Polish, Icelandic, Greek, Swedish

12 languages... I wonder if I could do that... I'm sure I'd learn shortcuts and improve on the process significantly as I go from language to language.  The Latin-based languages would be easier with my Spanish and Latin experience already.  The German languages would be different.  Maybe.
