People have often asked me which places are my favorites.

Here’s how I answer: if you could take four 2-week trips, I’d recommend (not in any particular order):

• Two weeks in Italy
• Two weeks in a tropical paradise (Polynesia, the Caribbean….)
• Two weeks exploring the national parks of the American West.
• A two-week African Safari

Of course, that’s just me. Lots of people would prefer Disneyland, Broadway musicals or a night at the Ritz Carlton and room service. That’s cool. I say do it all.
