Vacation Spots

A friend and I are thinking about taking a fabulous trip for our upcoming 40th (ouch, I can't believe I'm going to be 40). Here are a few of the spots on my short list.

Italy

Florence...



Tuscany...



Lake Como... (and no, I'm not going just to stalk
George Clooney)




France

Provence...



The Riviera...



We're considering escorted tours and doing it on our own
depending on where we go. I want to check out doing
a vacation rental as well. So how about you guys,
any suggestions?
