I would also love to visit Ireland. New Zealand is another English-speaking country that would be high on my list of vacation destinations, if your budget and schedule would allow it.

Closer to home, a summer vacation to parts of Canada would also be great. My wife and I drove across the north shore of Lake Superior thirty years ago and I would love to return to Thunder Bay for a visit, or catch a Great Big Sea concert in St. John's Newfoundland. There are parts of Canada where you can toss a canoe into the water and have a large lake entirely to yourself for a few days. The differences between Canada and the US were much bigger than I expected - at least that was the case in the early 80s.
