If your looking for a one of a kind vacation, and something to brag about, this would be a good one. iExplore has a vacation package that will take you up to the base camp of Mt. Everest. It's as close as your going to get without actually trying to make it to the top.

You start in Kathmandu, and trip takes you though the town of Lukla, and to the Thyanboche monastery during the trip. Once at base camp, you'll be about 14,000 feet up. The total trip takes 17 days, and you can read all about it HERE.
Of course if your an experienced climber, and actually want to try and climb the mountain, well, you can book that trip on iExplore HERE.

There's a lot of sites out there about scotch and whisky, but the best one that I've found is ScotchWhisky.net. When it states that it's "The Definitive Online Guide to Scotch Whisky", they aren't kidding. Read about the distilleries, retailers, tours, making drinks, cooking with whisky (I need to try that), whisky clubs, and even competitions.
It's well worth a look.
