Default The perfect vacation

Since I'm going to go halfway across the country in a few months for some family business (and partially an excuse for sightseeing ), I've been wondering what my perfect vacation would be. Any opinions? If you had all the money in the world, all the time off you need, where would you go? In fact, I'll even create two categories: Individual and Group. My tastes definately go in different directions depending on whether people are occompaning me or not. By myself, certain destinations are better because the sightseeing locations are more geared toward individual wandering around. You see something you're interested in, you change your itinerary, you Boldly Go off that way. In a group, other tourist priorities take over. You can enjoy certain things better as a group.

Case in point: a few months back I went with a group to one of those cornmaze/hayride/misc. harvest-themed attraction places. This is definately a lot of fun as a group, but by yourself, I'd get bored and depressed really fast. On the other hand, wandering around the riverfront of a city in the early morning is amazing by myself. You can just marvel at the sights, stop for minutes at a time to look at whatever you want, etc.

So what's your Perfect Two Vacations?
