Some good locations getting named here.  I would say:  Japan, China, S. Africa, or Antarctica

Most assuredly New Zealand, Ireland and the hide away place of Japan.  No workshops just lots of fun with the camera and the hubby

The problem with those is that I'd want to be there in both summer and winter.

Anyplace you have never been before as that will allow you images you never were able to get.... How much to spend/how long to stay all depends on where you wind up.

Exactly!  I would love to photograph the castles there both in nice lush green, and again in winter months.

I was stationed in Germany for three years. One thing that always got me was the old ruin's of castle's. The Heidelberg Castle is a tourist trap but what a beautiful Castle! I've always wanted to go back to Germany someday as a civilian rather than service man. Only thing wrong with it is the transportation there and back. Bet that's fairly expensive.

I agree with just about all of the places and destinations previously cited.  In addition, I would suggest doing an around the world trip:  start in San Francisco or Los Angeles and head to French Polynesia (both the islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora).  Next, head to Fiji then New Zealand (spend several days in Queenstown and definitely ride the jet boat), then, on to Australia (Sydney and Melbourne).  From there, head to Bali and then on to either Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket and Chang Mai) and/or Singapore (the best shopping in the world and some of the best food!!!).  Then, I'd stop in Sri Lanka, India and Mauritius on the way to Madagascar (to photograph the lemurs.  No ebola here; although there have been several reports of the bubonic and pneumonic plague.  If this scares you, skip Madagascar and head to Tanzania to photograph the wilderbeast migration, South Africa and then on to Barcelona.  Next is Iceland (spend a minimum of 2-3 days here).  From there, head to Patagonia (both the Chilean and the Argentine sides.  Checkout Torres del Paine and stay at the Explora en Salto Chico ), Brazil (Iguassu Falls and Rio) and the Galapagos Islands.  Then, on to Machu Pichu and, finally, back home (with a short trip to Banff and the Canadian Rockies).  As you start planning your trip, you may have to eliminate some places due to time and your own particular interest.  I have been to several of the places I mentioned except for Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Iceland and the Galapagos.  But, I still have these places on my bucket list!  The good thing is that now you can travel light with a digital SLR.  I remember taking 100 rolls of Velvia and Provia on my trip to Chile.  Quite heavy especially with my film in double lead lined bags.
