It wouldn't take me a very long time to spend 10k - I'd get 2 chairs & a new sofa for my living room. I'd buy a dresser for my spare room and 1-2 new dressers for my bedroom. I'd get some basic white serveware. New linens. Lots of stuff!

What place in the US would you most like to visit? Why? Currently, NYC. I've been there before but my BFF lives there so I'd like to see her. If it's a place I've never been - we want to do California. Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible, wine tours, southern cali sunshine...
