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.
