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.

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!!

I'd have to hit Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Figi. I'd have to bring along some LGC Series R.

You better hire someone to peel you off the street and get you onto the plane, he he.

That's easy-Vegas. I'd probably stay at the Wynn, play some blackjack, drink some Crown, play some golf and smoke Padron's 24/7.

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).
