IF MONEY WERE NO OBJECT ..

Oh, the thought of it.  Conjure up your dream trip and take it without a care in the world.  Do you even know where you might go?  After reading the article linked HERE, I got to thinking: What would my trip look like if money were no object (not to mention time).  Mind you I'm not talking about a year at sea or even several months.  Most of the featured excursions are roughly three weeks, so say you round it up to an even four.  That could be eminently do-able (hey, this is creative thinking!).  

My trip is all about the water.  And the travel between destinations would be one of the converted 757's mentioned, where there are only biz class seats ...

Stop #3 below ..

Here we go:

:: Depart Los Angeles for Fiji, with accommodations at the Huka Retreats on Dolphin Island (there are two other Retreats:  New Zealand and Capetown).
:: Proceed to Queenstown on the south island of New Zealand.  There are gorgeous lakes there, but it is really a stopover for Milford Sound.  That part would be a flyover or small private cruise in order to savor the gorgeousness of the area.
:: Next stop: The Maldives off the coast of India (is it "deeves" or "dives"?) and the Four Seasons at Landaa Giraaviru.  Not much comment needed ... think pristine beaches, superb service, few people.  Trifecta!
:: And then: the island of Santorini in Greece, with accommodations at Perivolas Retreat.

After a quick stop in Athens, it would be straight home.  Not sure I could absorb more on just one trip.  And there you have mine.  More importantly, what about YOURS??? 

More importantly, what does YOURS look like??
