As John points out, it depends upon your interests. For me, the British Isles, New Zealand or Patagonia. And unstructured time and a car. No workshops, thank you. Learn the skills at home, where it's cheap, do your research, and go exploring.

And FWIW Alaska is okay, but you'll do a lot of walking to find anything interesting, IMO. You can find amazing stuff in BC, and it's a whole lot closer.

I'd kill for a chance to drive up and down scotland again, but for a month and the goal of getting amazing photos. Scotland was absolutely amazing around easter. I suspect in the summer it would be equally incredible. Especially up north. There is lots of isles that are incredible to visit, they look like they have just cracked off of a mountain and floated away.

Ebola is twice as close to Europe than it is to South Africa.
Your $ will get you everywhere and back.
A bread cost less than $1, a beautiful steak at a great restaurant $8-12...

We have summer, beautiful beaches with beautiful women, Table Mountain, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world with a cable car to the top and great views, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, nature, forests, great game parks two hours drive away, (some just with buck a lot closer), lakes, rich flower veriety, great sunsets, a semi desert (Karoo) 3 hours drive, and ME.
You do not need a workshop, one on one is still the best teacher.
I am a location scout for the film industry, so I know the nooks and crannies.
Free of charge. (I lied, you buy lunch. ;) )

We just love visitors here. (Specially Photographytalk friends. :) )

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.
