January - DC, Santa Fe/Taos (amazing place)
February - Kona, Buenos Aires
March - Salta, Argentina, Uruguay
April, May - Buenos Aires
June - St. Michaels, Maryland (never been there before, nice place for a weekend), Philly
July - NY
August - Porto
September Porto, Barcelona
October - Lisbon
November - NY
December - not sure yet, Costa Rica or Mexico City
January through May of next year -- Argentina (Buenos Aires & maybe el Buzon) & Brazil, not sure what city yet - will look through threads here to find a good place to chill, swoop, and speak a lot of Portuguese.

I'm a slow traveler, I like to rent a room or an apartment, and stay a few months at a time. Somehow I don't end up doing a lot of sightseeing, though. Favorite spots were Porto and Lisbon - I'll be coming back to Portugal next year.

I'm starting to prefer staying longer in fewer countries. You really can't know the culture unless you stay at least +2 weeks.

Absolutely agreed. Too many guys go for collecting country notches. Quality over quality and spending enough time to really get the feel of the city. I'd rather have that than spend as much time in a city as travelling to and from it.

As for my list,

January - Malta, Vilnius, Lithuania

February - Lithuania, Riga, Latvia

March - Latvia, Tallinn, Estonia, Malta

April, May, June - Malta

August or September - Planning to hit up Moscow, Russia

You seconded it, I third it! You never learn about a culture unless you can spend a lot of time in a country. I used to be an American workaholic and then I decided that waiting until I retired to get in extended traveling was stupid. Before, I did a lot of country notching while working, but only learned about the sights.

I now realize that you can only understand a people by living in their country. It may surprise all you players, but if you get girl friend you can really learn about a culture. You will learn about their real lives and how things really work in their society. If you want to learn learn even more, move to an out of the way town where you the only foreigner there. It's a great experience!
