My next vacation is a couple of weeks in the Cayman Islands, visiting family who live there and doing a LOT of scuba diving. (I can get in at least two dives per day, sometimes three if I include a night dive). That's probably a good twenty to thirty dives.
But I'm already planning next year's vacation to France. I've been interested in barges for quite a while. All of Europe (including the UK) has a very extensive canal system that one can travel for very modest fees. There are quite a few companies that will rent one a boat to travel up and down the waterways. You pilot it yourself, moor where you want to, and take as much time as you would like.
I could easily see spending a month travelling through the south of France, stopping at whatever village I find most attractive. Bicycles carried aboard allow one a little ability to roam. (I would imagine a Vespa would be even better.)
