I'd buy a small private ship and sail around the globe. I'd occasionally port to pickup a friend or family member or drop someone off.

My friend’s uncle lived this life but swap ~~globe~~ to “Lake Travis in Austin, TX” and swap ~~friend or family member~~ to “random babe”
One time, she (my friend), invited us out for a full day on her uncle’s boat and whenever we stopped to gas up, one babe would depart and another would hop on. He also had some kinda magical ice chest that never ran out of beer. Good times.
To the moon! If money's no object NASAs budget just went up 100 fold.
I was thinking way too small with my answer. I didn't even consider the idea of telling NASA that I could fund any and every project they want done, if they just send me to the Moon
Looking at the Bahamas sometime this year, but my wife needs to secure the time off first. :(
The Sun.
Road trip across Canada, coast to coast. Just before starting it though I’d fly to the Yukon.

Italy, Japan, or some place with beautiful mountains.
But money is a thing, so i'm not going anywhere.
Mount Blue Sky, Colorado. Home of the highest elevation optical astronomical observatory who's operators I share a language with
Canada. Somewhere.
No where lol. I like my home area.
The Maldives.
Somewhere tropical, that won't mind if we smoke some weed on the beach. Jamaica comes to mind, but I'd research options because I'd like to see the other side of the Atlantic.
If money was no object: Las Vegas!
I'd play all the games for free and win all the money. I'd become a millionaire in a week. :)
Definitely take a boat ride to visit Taiwan at least once before any shit potentially goes down in Asia and war breaks out.
Hell, if it broke out while I was over there, it'd make things easier for me in a way, since I'd be more than willing to help Taiwan in the event of a war by doing whatever the hell they need me to as a civilian who couldn't join the army due to my health. Wouldn't have to be working on helping them from far away, but rather on ground.
novosibirsk russia
Super expensive to travel there and looks like some nice architecture. Just need to hire a team of security specialists.
Ticket prices $36,000 usd round trip from Minnesota. First class.
Somewhere remote that already has a well-established bartering system. Most of the usual tourist places would be a disaster if there was no such thing as money.
I'd like to go back to Fuzhou, but geopolitical tensions are making international travel less viable by the day.
Lake Meade, Pennsylvania
it's already booked, though, family reunion.

*cue title card* I Trick The Vacation Genie Into Doing Physics Research With Me
It'd be cool to walk about Mars for an afternoon. Maybe find that rover (Opportunity?) that ran out of power & give it a fresh battery & clean off its solar panels, see if it'll fire back up again.

I'd donate alot to my local makerspace then take unpaid leave for a good while and just make things. If I had to travel i would probably go to Germany to see a few friends, it's been too long.
Beyond the edge of the universe
Vietnam looks nice.
Some expensive Carribean Islands like the Bermudas or Aruba.
A yacht with a Titan seamoth in either the carribean or Australia to just cruise through some reefs.
Pitcairn Island
