These Places Should Be on Every Woman's Travel List ...

When you look at things in the cold light of day, if you take one vacation every year, you can reasonably assume you can visit maybe 40-50 countries other than your own. As an avid traveler, that’s too sad for me to compute. I don’t want to know that. Knowing that makes it even harder to decide where my next destination should be. So where should you choose?
