A Bahamas cruise - I was working as a nanny and was invited to chaperone the kids for their family vacation. Never had I ever seen water so clear, and from there I was hooked!

Italy! I want that La Dolce Vita lifestyle! I love their food, wine, history, architecture and art history, I love the coastal life and the Dolomites, the people watching, and Italy just so happens to be my familial roots. 

For romance or even a girls trip, smaller city life, great food, and some culture - take me to Savannah, GA. It may be humid and hot most of the year, but those city squares, oaks dripping in Spanish moss, and the history get me every time. I also love that it's close to Georgia's beaches when I need to get my salty fix.
