#4 - Alaska

It has more to offer than Sara Palin!

Take a cruise to Alaska and stop to walk on an iceberg. See Polar Bears frolicking in the icy waters. Then head to the woods for some afternoon hiking and some communing with nature. Into camping? This is the place to do it!

#3 - Mykonos Islands

Mykonos in the Greek Isles is the place to go if history is your thing.

Full of ancient ruins including a cemetery and market place dating back thousands of years, this is the site of the ancient city of Mykonos that you studied about in high school. Enjoy the sophisticated and really happening night life or walk the stone paved streets or just sit back and enjoy the picture perfect whitewashed villages. Local accommodations offer something for every taste and budget.

Walk with the Lions or Sip Martinis on the beach

South Africa has something for everyone! Five star hotels and restaurants can be found in Cape Town along with world class shopping. Their wine region offers top notch varietals that any wine connoisseur would be delighted to serve. Next, for the animal lovers in the family, visit Kruger National Park where native wildlife can be seen in their natural habitats.

#1 - Bora Bora, Tahiti

Jump into the terquoise lagoon, right from your hut.

Tahiti is the place to be if you are truly in need of some serious R&R. Up till only recently Tahiti's resorts boasted no communications of any kind - rooms didn't even have TVs. These are still around if that's what you'd like, but resorts now are totally 21st Century with all the 5 star amenities you could possibly crave, right at your finger tips. Stay in Bora Bora and see some of the sites made immortal by 1940's movie icons such as Humphrey Bogart. The Island of Bora Bora is simply the most beautiful island in the world. Does it get better than staying in one of these over the water huts, jump in whenever you like. Who needs TV in paradise? I don't!

surffab says:

Mauritius is great, I have been there some years ago.

JohnsInk says:

Bora Bora or Mykonos Island look the most appealing to me.

linkcity says:

I can't wait to get out to Bora Bora.

None of these, I rather go to....

Evelyn_Saenz says:

I couldn't decide. Each one intrigues me. I guess I will have to go on a world tour.

Englishguy says:

The Isle of Skye sounds good to me, too! But probably somewhere in Wales would be my pick. It may not be that exotic for me (since I live in England) but I love so many things about that country. :)

nickupton says:

The Isle of Skye.

However, I usually take my annual vacation in Dartford, Kent. It seems that Kent is more popular than Bora Bora right now!

prosperity66 says:

Broadstairs, Kent, England :) My favorite vacation place! But you selected nice and appealing places for your lens.
