I told my wife that to travel the world, we need to save up. She said she saved up years ago and bought plane tickets and hotel reservations for the next year. Where should we go first?

My(28M) wife(27F) and I have been together for almost 8 years. We are married for 3 and are expecting our first child, but I am not the father.<br><br>Our child is Turkish. <br><br>She was supposed to get an implant to prevent pregnancy, but it didn't work. We were told we would be able to adopt, but it turns out we would have to be foster parents for two years before we could adopt.<br><br>We also were told that there's no guarantee that the foster children would be ours to adopt after two years.<br><br>My wife had another plan. Turkey is full of refugees from Syria and other nations. We went over and before we knew it, she was pregnant. We had a four bedroom house and she became friends with a Syrian woman months before we went. I thought she just wanted to show her hospitality, but she wanted to adopt. <br><br>We went and had a week in Turkey before coming back to the States. A month after she came back she announced she was pregnant. <br><br>We realized after one month that there was some problem with her belly. Her skin had the mark of a C-section. She finally let me in on her plan and told me the truth. <br><br>Months later we have a young Turkish girl living in our home. I am not the father, but I am told that to avoid suspicion and problems with the law and ethics, her father is me. Her birth mother just signed away the rights and flew back to Turkey months ago.<br><br>We now have a three year old girl. She is two years younger than what we expected and she is from Turkey. My wife has traveled extensively but I haven't. <br><br>She said she saved up for us to travel and I know I am ready. My son is too young to remember and she has thousands of dollars saved up from her old job. She said to pick a place and we can book flights and a hotel with plenty of money to spare. <br><br>I have never traveled extensively before. I have barely even left the country. <br><br>Where should we go first? We have never been to Europe.
