Where would you go on vacation if you had $10,000 and two weeks?
Where would you go and how would you spend the money? Fly business class? Drink fine wines?

I don't know where I would go, but Paris would be very high on the list. I'd probably stay at a very nice hotel, get a private tour, and try a few of the finer restaurants.

Maybe New Zealand or Bangkok and the surrounding islands. My sis just got back from Pei Pei Island and it looks like such a beautiful place.

3. Well. I am going to France this summer
We rented a house in Provence, and it didn't cost nearly that much.

I think I would go to Tahiti or somewhere else in French Polynesia. Beautiful, beautiful places.

15. Odd answer.
Buffalo.

I don't travel well because of health/disability issues, so I couldn't go far. I'd visit friends in Buffalo that I don't get to visit nearly often enough.
