It would start with sleeping in! It would next include a big breakfast with my wife at our favorite breakfast joint. Then it would include an afternoon of hunting with my dad. That evening I would take us to dinner with my wife and kids at a steakhouse. After that, we would go home and play gimes like we used to when the kids were little.
I am sure I could come up with some more creative and exciting things like skydiving and such, but I would be happy with the day as described above.

What are the financial limits? That would determine some of the outcome.

I have to confess that I would be liable to waste it trying to decide what to do! :basic04 (One of my biggest leadership weaknesses is indecisiveness for fear of wasting/missing an opportunity by making the wrong decision and due to over analyzing. I am working on it!)
I would kill several birds with one stone (or satisfy several wants in one day):
Share the experience with my wife and kids
Meet and spend time with someone "famous" I respect and whose brain I could pick
Experience a cool place--and its culture--I've never experienced (not just tourist sites but also the locals)
Use a cool appropriate means for the tour based on location such as cycling, motor scooter, segway, hot air balloon, boat, combination
Bonus: be able to impact the life of someone else who wouldn't otherwise get such an opportunity by taking them along (like a newly converted gangmember or former runaway teen prostitute trying to start a new life)
Given those general ideas, I came up with a few possibilities so you know what I mean:
Walk, taxi, rickshaw, or whatever is best for particular foreign urban center like Bombay, Delhi, or Beijing with Franklin Graham
Boat and walk Galapagos Islands with Brian McClaren
Segway Moscow with Tony Campolo
Motor scooter around Rome with Frank Peretti
While most of my choices are Christians, if I were going to Paris, I guess it would be cool to bike with Armstrong (my speed, not his)
Of course, there are also people who aren't necesarrily "famous" I would enjoy touring with if in their area:
Jeepo a combination African city/village/photo safari with a Schmelzenbach
Seattle and/or Mt. Rainier with Dave McClung
Hot Air ballon the Netherlands with Hans
Sydney with Brad and Roland
Sorry, Bob, I've already been to Indiana!

Let's see -- a WHOLE DAY to do WHAT I WANT?
I believe I would find a nice, quiet spot somewhere in the Smoky Mountains, spread out a blanket, lie down and be with God.
I'd spend the day studying each blade of grass and comparing the length, width and color of each. I'd watch while the leaves on each and every tree dances with joy in His breath. The whole time I'd be listening intently to every sound made by every kind of animal, from insect chirping to bird singing to bear rustling through the woods looking for a treat.
And I'd thank Him for his wondrous works. All day long ...
Ah, yes! I believe that's just what I'd do.

I would be flown in by helicopter to a rain forest in the Jungle and spend some of the day up in the canopy. Then I would hang glide off the tallest mountain around. Then I would find the biggest water fall and have lunch and a shower and swim in the greenyblue waters.
Then I would take a nap in a hammock strung between two Eucalyptus trees.
Next is the hike up the water fall. Once at the top I would start a fire and have supper. Then find a cave for sleep.
Next morning would be a hike and start building my tree house that I would live in for the rest of my days!!! Room enough for the wife and kids...:fav18
NOW I'M DEPRESSED!!!:basic04

I choose Lake Chelan, Washington where I went to two years of high school and is a very attractive tourist and recreation destination with awesome scenery, no matter what time of year; spring--apple blossom time and the greening of orchards, birding, summer--swimming, boating, water skiing, fishing, fall--foliage tours, harvesting the apple crop and drinking fresh cider, hunting, winter--snow skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing, and for Dave hiking anytime of the year.
