Space Tourism by 2012.... would you prefer 2 hours in space, or a month anywhere else in the world?

It would have to be long enough to get adapted to the zero-G, which only feels like you're in free-fall until you get used to it, and it would have to be long enough to experience all those little things like eating, showering, evacuating, and sleeping in zero-G.
Also, it would have to be long enough to get plenty of time to identify all kinds of places on the earth, and get pictures.
If the trip could be at least five days, then it would definitely be worth more than a month anywhere on the surface, but until then, it's still a better deal to go somewhere on earth for a month-long vacation.

I'd follow this book I found written by my great, great aunt that visits our families origins in Norway. If I could, one part of the book visits an island my family used to own apparently. If it's been purchased privately I probably couldn't visit, but yeah, for sure heritage trek through Norway tops 2 hours in space every time. Hell, I'd even rather go back to Germany for a month than to space, and I lived there.

Amazon Rainforest
Venice, Italy
Cairo, Egypt
Tokyo, Japan (man, I'd LOVE to see Tokyo!)
Frankfurt, Germany
I'll take any of them for a month hands-down. I could do a lot of living and see a lot of amazing things in all that time, things I haven't had the chance to see in my lifetime.
To me, that makes Venice as exotic as outerspace.

In spite of my travel passion, I'm certain, that if given the chance, I would take 2 hours in space over 1 month anywhere else on earth.
True, 2 hours is a short time. It stands to reason that waiting a short time will probably result in extended durations and lower costs; but, being among the first is an opportunity I could not pass up.
The way I see it, here on earth it must of had been majestic to see any area of the world when it was still pristine and undeveloped. To be able to say, you were among the first.
That's the way I would like to see space, as one of the first, before it gets so commercialized to a point that there will be orbiting all you can eat buffets ruining its majesty.

Hmm, maybe I could try going there when I'm about to retire? ^^ That's about 30-40 years more from now. I think it'll be a lop cheaper by then. :)
