I'll further the motion for Italy: it is quite extraordinary, truly magnificent. I'd heartily recommend, as well as Venice and Rome, going down to Sorrento, just south of Naples: it is a little touristy, but beautiful, and very easy to hop over to the island of Capri and get to Pompeii which, frankly, is a must (I've been 3 times; I may be a little biased).
In terms of places to avoid, I'd pick Singapore; it's somewhere between tacky and creepy, and 96% humidity's a swine.
Oh, and if you're hankering to head back to Blighty, come up North: I've been in Scotland 14 yrs and never looked back. Glasgow rules.

Ah, now you're talking. I love the Lake District - I camp there a couple of times a year. Beautiful.
@Dogma - RE:Barca vs. Mallorca - Well, it all depends what you're after. Me, I like to chill. I AM a little biased, given the fact that I lived there for nearly 2 years.
I think we can agree that Catalunya is awesome, though.
Well, if you speak Spanish and French, I guess Catalan is pretty easy to get to grips with. I never really bothered with it too much, apart from the occasional greeting to Mallorquin friends. It's like Welsh! They can all speak Castillan, but they choose not to just to piss mainlanders off!
I speak Spanish, but that's pretty much it for other languages.
