Have you ever had one of those moments when you're starting to think about where to go on vacation, and then you feel overwhelmed with all the possibilities?

Honestly, I'm grateful we have access to so many beautiful places on this little blue planet of ours. At the same time, there is no way most of us would ever have the opportunity to get close to seeing all of them.

How do we ever decide which countries or cities to visit when our time and money are limited?
