I can only "shave" 3 nights off my other destinations to fit in. Is this going to prove enough time & worthwhile considering the cost of the visa per person is $30US alone! I am so close that I would hate to come home and wish that I had done it! Thanks. Kerrie --- Where to next?

Every stopover is well worth it. Consider the costs and time to fly there seperately. While flying often between business and relations between four continents, I specially avoid direct flights (they are more expensive anyway), and rather spend 1-4 nights at a stopover, like a mini-vacation after all the stress with business or at the family, also cuts long flying times into two parts. One usually needs atleast a week at a place to see most of it but atleast I have got a feeling for them and know if its worth returning there for longer period at a later stage. That way I have managed to experience a bit of cities like Casablanca, Cairo, Sofia, Reykjavik, London, Amsterdam, Dubai, New York, Buenos Aires and many more...
