Most people think Mars will be next. But NASA may send a manned mission to an asteroid before going to Mars. It least I have read that they are considering it.

It will be the Moon. Mission will be from either China or India.
As for Americans landing somewhere, they might go back to the Moon, or directly to Mars.
In the mid 1960s, when the Americans finally set foot on the Moon, the Soviets were chasing two rabbits: Moon and Mars. It may be their attempt to prepare both manned missions in parallel that allowed the Americans to sneak in ahead of them to the Moon.

There aren't a lot of choices. Mercury is absurdly hot or cold. Venus is impossible: too hot and crushing pressures. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas giants which you CANT land on, and they are very far away.
Mars is relatively near. Its temperature and pressure won't kill you instantly. It has some interesting geology and evidence of past oceans.
However it is utterly useless real estate that would cost tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars to visit. We've already put landers on the place and unless you like virtually airless places with lots of rocks, there's really no reason to go there.
I've been to Turkey several times and I can attest to the fact that many places in Turkey have many, many rocks. Especially in the eastern part of the country. I recommend going to Turkey instead of Mars. Everyone can do it, not just a couple of astronauts. There are regularly scheduled flights, and while coach isn't comfortable, 10 hours is a lot faster than the 6 months or so that it would take to go to Mars. Turkey has nice people, good food, great wines, comfortable hotels, and lots of rocks. Enough rocks to last mankind forever. And it's considerably cheaper to visit Turkey than it is Mars.

Mars,
then possibly Europa (a Jovian moon), which is the most likely candidate to harbour life in our Solar System (excuding the Earth, obviously).

No where...no humans can pass the earths magnetic field and be exposed to solar wind...not with the current technology.
