Winos -- er, oenophiles -- unite! You've got dozens of fetching countries to choose from, and plenty of options to keep your budget under control. Cheers!
The Empire State's a gloriously mixed bag: exciting New York City, lovely Long Island beaches, historic Hudson Valley mansions, Adirondack skiing, Finger Lakes wine country, Niagara Falls, Saratoga Springs, Lake George, the Erie Canal, & plenty more.
Mio dio, the whole darn country's a mindblowing museum, foodie paradise, and more. Rome, Venice, Florence, Sicily, Pisa, Naples -- so many of the most iconic destinations in travel.
The Sopranos and the turnpike notwithstanding, it's called the Garden State because it really does have some lovely areas, especially down south and on the Jersey Shore. Atlantic City for gambling, Newark for ethnic eats, lots more. Capisce?
Who doesn't love a little pampering? And the exploding number of spas across the world these days ranges from crazy-pricey to suprisingly affordable. Here we massage the whole lot of 'em.

Hi, Lillian! Wow, you speak some Arabic, that's great. It's a language that's interested me for a long time. We have a number of language clubs here, as you can see. Any thoughts on the feasibility of starting an Arabic club? I know the script could be an issue...
