Via boat or other transport?
For us- via boat: a trip down the coast from Seattle to the Galapagos, then thru the Canal to the Caribbean..
Via air- Sicily, the Seychelles, and Thailand.
We've been to the South Pacific, Oliver- you'd love it. You might want to follow this blog:

Brian Calvert took his 47 Selene from Seattle to Mazatlan, then across the Pacific to French Polynesia; he's been cruising the area between Sydney and Thailand since 2008.

Ahhh! Great question.... 
First, it begins with acquiring a Nordhaven 60. . . (we ARE dreaming, right?) then finding a crewhand (did I mention my Admiral would oject to this dream?) with the skills of the lass who's responsible for [the] Emerald Steel (tip of the hat to Jules; he has quite the good fortune to have partnered up with Suzie.) . . . then it's a matter of finding favorable seas, fair winds, and keeping a bucket list that is continually added to the more I realize how little I know of the world and some of it's amazing places yet to discover. . . (I have lived/traveled all over the entire North American continent and the Caribbean - time to start see the rest of the planet!)

The NW passage has always been a goal of mine since I was a wee nard, but I doubt that one will ever get checked off.

Martinique, and the best part it is that it is only 24 nm away from our summer storage in St. Lucia:

One of my dream trips would be to go around the gulf of Mexico, down to and through the Panama canal, up to the Sea of Cortez, spend a year or so there cruising and diving, then back to Florida.
