North America
America's Canyonlands Escape
I like this tour of the canyons because you don't have days in the middle taken up with a stay in Las Vegas. Sure, it starts and ends in Las Vegas, but this way you can focus your entire 7 day canyon experience on canyons, and then if you like you can lose the rest of your money at the end of your trip rather than in the middle.

Australia
Great Adventure Down Under
Let's face it... there's no quick way to get to Australia, it's a long way from … everywhere. And it's kind of expensive to get there, stay there, and get around there. So if I'm going, I intend to stay a while. This 27 day tour along with a pre-tour stay in Melbourne and post-tour stay in Auckland will allow me to see a lot and will make my 34 hours on an airplane worthwhile.

Asia
India Escape With Varanasi
One or more of the "Wise Men" who came to see the baby Jesus may have been from India. They were "wise" because they knew of Jesus' importance beforehand. One story from apocrypha tells that these wise men had visions of the entire life of Jesus, his teachings, and his resurrection. The story goes that these wise men returned to India and established a church. Maybe true, maybe not...something to think about on your 11 day tour of India.
