OP now updated with all travel related posts I could find for the last 12 months. I haven't read all the threads linked, so if there's anything that should be removed please let me know. Some of the links in the "General Travel" section might be borderline.
Also, should NA maybe be split up into 2 categories? (Canada / US). Or is it okay as-is?

I think it's best to split up Canada and USA. It seems as though the North America section is getting a bit long right now.

Is there a way to better organize the subcategories? Perhaps have the city or destination in brackets and alphabetize that way.

Possibly, something I could look at when I've got a whole lot of downtime as that seems like it would take a while to do manually.
One problem is that there's often multiple cities, countries, etc in each thread (ie the recent Spain/Netherlands thread). In which case it'd be tough to alphabetize.
Some of them would be easy to drop the title of the thread and change it to "Destination (topic), something like: - Montana (driving)
- Korea (flights)
- Europe (backpacking)
However the problem there comes in when there's half a dozen general Europe threads or others that would overlap.
Or were you thinking a tag like system? ie:
[MONTREAL] Going to Montreal...what should I do?

This. The way it is now, if I'm looking for a specific location I need to read every link title to find what I'm looking for. Adding a quick location tag will solve this like your example.

Anyone remember the CP user who was making a long trip all over the place, but including some unusual stops in Asia?
Met a Calgarian in Florence yesterday (he saw my Flames hat and stopped me) that had been all over Asia. He was off to UK, Iceland then home.
Tried searching for that thread, failed.
I was tempted to pull the "the sky is blue..." But didnt. Should have asked if he was on CP.
Anyway if that was you, what a small world. It was on the stpes of San miniato del monte.

Perhaps you are thinking of me. I'm currently in Vietnam, so it wasnt me. If you're in central Asia in the next few months wear your hat. I'll keep an eye out.

Perhaps. Did you go to N Korea?
I thought it was a user who's name I didn't know that well.

Air Canada going to start flying non stop again from Vancouver to Osaka starting May 1. They are offering a great introductory airfare for this route, only $896 round trip inc tax!
Not bad!
