My wife & I did a monster 15 consecutive weeks in Europe last year ... a month in Italy, a month in Spain, 3 weeks in France, and the rest of the trip blitzing other European highlights like Amsterdam, Bruges, Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Vienna, Munich, scenic Swiss trains etc. ... And for me, Spain's the #1 place in Europe i'd return to.

But we escape the Canadian winters every year to live in Colombia.  And so Medellin (where I am now) is my favourite place to be for at least Dec, Jan, & Feb.

Mykonos, my parents has a home out there so I nip over when I can. It the most beautiful of the Greek Isles by FAR in my opinion.

Failing that, I have a lot of time (decreasing though) for Scandinavia. Or southern Poland. I envy people living comfortable lives in southern Poland. It's so beautiful there that I'm making serious plans living there at least once in my life.

I think europe gets a special bonus because there's lots of different stuff to take pictures of. For better or worst north america has very little unique sights outside of the downtowns of a few cities. Europe is plastered with old shit to photograph. And of course if it were simply based on just taking photo's for no apparent reason, Asia would of burnt out the LEDS in your monitor.

ARUBA is my wife and I's favorite place in the world. We have been there 4 times. Everyone speaks English, no time change, no money exchange, perfect weather year round with a easy breeze all day long. Crystal clear blue water and not overpriced like a St. Martin or Virgin Islands.
There philosophy is ONE HAPPY ISLAND and it is!
I have done France, England, all over Mexico, Canada & Bahamas.
Price wise it is the same as any Mexico resort vacation.
I own tanning salons and a personal training business, so I see where everyone travels. NEVER A COMPLAINT FROM THOSE COMING BACK FROM ARUBA. ;D

It does not matter to me so much the location, I really enjoy a nice high class resort with great on-site amenities.

 A good gym, good food, nice pool and sauna, comfortable clean room, good coffee and breakfast etc..

 If the resort is nice I don`t find the need to go out and deal with the proletariat.

Don't expect English outside Roppongi.  Study hard or you will not communicate.  

A physique that will get you laughed off Getbig makes you a giant in Japan.  You'll want to be able to communicate.

depends on the type of vacation.  Is it a  travel and see shit vacation or a lay back and decompress vacation?  If it's travel, I go see archeological sites around the world...if its booze, food, massage and sleep Cabo is pretty nice.  But just stay at the hotel and be pampered, the surrounding culture sucks.

I am lucky enough to be in a position where I get paid to go on what most people consider "dream vacations".  I have been all over the world and it is hard to narrow it down to one specific spot.  Would mostly depend on the time of the year for me to make a decision.

I was just in the Galapagos last November for my 30th birthday.  I leave on the 15th for a week of a Yachtsman Caribbean cruise.  If I had to pick one place for a vacation to do over again it would be :

Spring - Paris
Summer - Italian coastline - Amalfi/Capri/etc..
Fall - Viking Wine cruise on either Rhine or Danube
Winter - well I live in Ft Lauderdale so that is a vacation in itself.

There are tons of beautiful places but I have been to so many before that I am in no rush to go back unless I am being paid.  (Even then there are some places that I will not go back to again and pass the assignment up.)  I don't consider Vegas a vacation spot because I go there 2-4 times a year anyway and the novelty has worn off.  I would rather spend 4 days in DC among the monuments and museums than in Vegas at this point.  

Despite all these beautiful places to visit and fall in love with, I really can't see actually living there.  If I were going to move outside the country it would most likely be London.  I have spent entire summers there a few times and love the city.  It is very historical, cultural, and has fantastic food (but only from other cultures because the British can't originate taste or cook for shit.)

One thing I have found to be 100% accurate about other countries and cultures :

Heaven and Hell

Heaven Is Where:

The French are the chefs
The Latins are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time

Hell is Where:

The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
The Italians make everything run on time
And the Germans are the police

Summer - Italian coastline - Amalfi/Capri/etc..

we spent some days on the Amalfi Coast last summer.  wouldn't return.  thought it was a bit overrated.
preferred hiking the Cinque Terre.

Just out of interest: how many Americans on here own passports?

I've been an avid traveler for a while now, lived in Australia for a year, New Zealand for a year, spent a year in Thailand and visited Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, Taiwan, Japan, and spent a few holidays in Fiji, Cook Islands, Tahiti.

I moved around a lot growing up, from the mid-west, south, east coast and now west coast so I think it was just natural for me to want to see other parts of the world.

Good government in Argentina?  Have you lived there?  Do you enjoy wealth confiscation? Just getting paychecks in US dollars is a hassle when you go deposit them into a bank, the banks want proof of where you received your income.

It's a really beautiful place though, might be good if you can get your money into the country under the radar and live relatively out of the eye of the government.

-Pamplona (Spain ), go bulls go

I was at the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona the last Saturday of the festival this past July.  And the bulls won! (as a number of runners were trampled/injured.) Those Friday & Saturday nights in Pamplona were, by far, the biggest street parties i've ever seen. Everybody wearing the same festival attire and mostly everybody hammered.

Was there for 3 months training some of their military units when I was stationed in Panama. People and culture just seemed really cool. Weather was great and its was cheap to have fun there every night :)
