Vanuatu
This has to be
one of the happiest places on earth-just check out the faces of the
locals. Perhaps it's the 28 years into independence from France and
Britain this group of over 80 islands is looking forward to.
Formerly known as the New Hebrides, this island country is located
northeast of Sydney and east of Fiji-in the middle of the
Pacific.
