2. Tahiti & French Polynesia
It's surprising how close a visit to French Polynesia comes to fulfilling the ideal of paradise. The islands of French Polynesia, which include Bora Bora, Tahiti, Papeete and Moorea, are still largely quiet and move at a slow pace; the water of French Polynesia is still amazing shades of blue or green; the mountains still rise dramatically above the sea.... Goto Destination Guide »
3. Thailand
Thailand offers something for everyone. The capital, Bangkok, is alive with commerce and street-bustle nearly every hour of the day and night. Whether in big cities, in the country or on a pristine beach, business and leisure travelers will find a safe, friendly atmosphere full of possibilities. Indeed, one reason Thailand is among the most visited countries in Asia (more than 10 million visitors annually) is because of its accessibility and extensive tourism infrastructure.... Goto Destination Guide »
4. Bali, Indonesia
Sadly, this island, the most popular stop in Indonesia, was the scene of several horrific bombings in October 2002 and October 2005. It's especially sad to see terrorism reach Bali, because the island's friendly people, Hindu culture, rhythmic dances, volcanoes, sculptured rice paddies, beautiful jungle and mountain scenery, and spectacular beaches-combined with a wide array of accommodations-make it one of the most fascinating places in the world. It's a magical place-despite the ever-expanding... Goto Destination Guide »

Our recommendation is to settle first on the Hawaii you want to see. It might be beaches, luaus and nightlife; it might be rare orchids and hikes in the rain forest; it might be quiet countryside, small towns and scenic drives. Whatever the combination, there is almot certainly an island or islands best suited to your Hawaii... Goto Destination Guide »

8. Nevis, St Kitts & Nevis
Nevis, a green cone topped by cloud-covered Mount Nevis, is evolving rapidly from a sleepy backwater into a hideaway of the well-to-do. The island, though small, is intensely green and hilly, with magnificent beige- and white-sand beaches, coral reefs and gorgeous tropical flowers. The towns on the island are tiny, including Charlestown, the main city and port, and Newcastle, the site of the Vance W. Armory International Airport (NEV).... Goto Destination Guide »
9. Santorini, Cyclades Islands, Greece
To experience Santorini's unusual geography, it's best to approach this Cycladic island from the sea. The barren rocky cliffs rise straight out of the blue Aegean-their tops are dusted by what at first looks like a sprinkling of snow. Then, as you get closer, the snow takes the shape of Cycladic buildings hanging precariously off the hillsides. Zigzagging lines across the rock face become recognizable as roads that lead up from the sea to whitewashed houses perching on the cliffs.... Goto Destination Guide »
10. Maldives
Vacationers looking to really get away from it all-and who have the means to get there-head for the Maldives. This island republic south of India offers high-quality resorts and unspoiled scenery � at prime prices.... Goto Destination Guide »
