1) Where do you go and for how long? 2) What hotel/resort/casa? 3) What restaurants must you visit? 4) Most importantly, what cigars do you take along or plan to buy? You can also mention booze.
I am going to ruminate on this for a bit . . .

I would go to Beijing, Lhasa, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Hanoi, Ho Chim Min City. I'd stay somewhere safe with a flush toilet & clean bed. I'd eat what ever the locals eat with a a shot of good steak, shrimp & lobster when I could.
I would not focus on consumption of food or consumption of luxury lodging. I would focus on visting & revisiting important historical, cultural & geographical sites.
I'd bring some MC Edmundos, MC2 and some Party shorts.
QM Quality does not occur by chance. It is the result of intelligent activities.

I would visit some cities in Eastern Europe that I have been curious about. I would start in Prague and then work my way to Hungary and perhaps Krakow and end up in Moscow. Not sure on hotels and restaurants -- I would stay in as a nice a place as I could afford as long as the money would hold out for two to three weeks.
I would smoke many DCs, Lusis, RAGs and an occasional HdeM, and take long walks.
Local food only, nothing to remind me of home. And lots of wine.

I would do a 14 night Greek Isle and Venice Cruise. Visit places like Turkey, Greece, Italy, Croatia, France, and Spain. That would be a dream vacation come true.
I would bring along some MC #4 and would smoke what ever I came across overseas. Quality of course!!
"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch..."
I would spend my 10K in the USA, NYC, for a show , Chicago for a steak, KC for Ribs,some place in the peoples republic of kalifornia for a sip of wine,New Orleans for a trip to Comanders Place , Baltamore for crab, Boston for lobster,, Atlanta for a piece of peach pie ,Vermont for maple syrup on my hot cakes, got to stop in Butte Montania for a Buffalow tenderloin, & then some place in the Pacific NW for Salmon( BUT NO COFFEE ), Hawaii for Pork & Kona Coffee, Back to Pittsburgh for the Home made Perogies & Sausage , I will pick up a smoke here & there but this TOUR will be a FOOD trip, A cigar in NYC is the same as a cigar in LA( if you can find a place to smoke there ) , but the food, the food is different for sure !
Enjoy, Vince

My parents took that exact cruise a couple years ago. They loved it.

I would bum around in Eleuthra, Bahamas and some of the nearby Islands. I would stay at the Cove, and eat all the tasty seafood that my body could take. I would spend my days on the beach/yachting/smoking cigars/snorkling/tasting fine rums, etc.
Come to think of it... I'll just do that for my honeymoon some day.
Harry's is a rip-off. A Bellini the size of a shot glass was $9, and that was seven year ago. Food was mediocre. Then again, I did not find Venice to be a prime food location (I know, I know -- I did not eat at the right places).
