If you like to drink, party, do drugs, and raise hell, and want to stay within the 'States, I second Sin City!
Otherwise I'll add Aruba and Germany to the list...
Oh and nice Ireland pics Bryan!

depend on what you like to do --
If you want to party and hookup with really beautiful women, hang out on amazing beaches and not spend too much money -- go to Brasil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its the best place in the world.

If you say so then, I'll take your word for it. I always thought it was quite a country from people who visited there. If I was going to travel Europe, I would like to stop by and see Italy, but maybe it's just all hyped up.
My friend went to the Ferrari Headquarter/Factory in Italy. He loved it... I think that would be awesome to check out.
2 words: 3 or 4 day work weeks...
i was told i had to burn 150 hours or lose it at the end of the year (this was around june/july).
so around nov and dec, it will be a bunch of 4 hour work days. throw in a 3 or 4 weekends...
if i take em all in one bunch, i get bored to death. and then when i return to work, there's ton of crap to catch up on.
plus i'm too cheap to take $1000+ vacations.
so i do that instead...

I think it's forbidden for any US citizen to go to Fiji right now... I know it was last year, as there were some hostilities.
If you are allowed to go, then I agree with Cal... Fiji is like the most beautiful place on this planet.

Brasil has a bad rap -- I have been traveling Brasil for 2 months and have had absolutly no problems.... at all... and would argue its my favorite country to visit (of course you have to be careful). Where else in the world can you go to a club, met a beautiful women and in less than 5 minutes be kissing her, decide you dont like her and go kiss another... eat like a king for less than $10 and hangout in tropical rainforest and the most beautiful beaches....
And Italy -- I was in Italy about 3 months ago -- and it is a beautiful country, Tuscony, wine, history... but its horrible to visit during the peak tourist season. Too many people and places like Florence and Venice have more tourist than locals. But if you can visit during the fall or winter, I bet anyone would enjoy it.
I also second Croatia --- go to the islands of Korcula and Hvar, they are some of the best places... Split is also really nice.
Get out of the states if you can, there are so many amazing places to go -- any of the places you people have mentioned, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Thailand, Europe (PRAGUE!!!!) Costa Rica, and anywhere in South America...
