Too many to count..any idea what continent you want to visit?

I've been to Argentina...I would also do iguazu falls and bariloche and buenos Aires...while you're there I would do Brazil as well...they're not too far from each other. Also, Patagonia is beautiful

This. Mendoza is awesome as well.

My friend once did a holiday from London to Florida via Amsterdam & NYC in a way that flying business meant he got instantly gold status with OneWorld and enough air miles for several return flights to Europe over the following year.

Patagonia absolutely, Peruvian Andes, and Colombian Andes if you're looking for some fun outdoor trips. Can also do north cascades for multi day mountaineering trips if you're just looking to get outside but less committing.

Africa- luxury safari tour through the Serengeti and then we successfully summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons?

Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?
