What Are The Best Duck Hunting Trips?

So being that it is the offseason and the only thing that I have going for me at the present in regards to duck hunting is the never ending search for inexpensive duck decoys, I thought I would look forward to next season.  Now I have expanded my horizons a bit in terms of the lakes and sloughs I frequent in and around me quite a bit in the past couple of years.  It is similar to a duck hunting treasure hunt if you will.  That being said, I have not explored a bunch of other states and countries in the pursuit of waterfowl.  I wrote a blog a while back detailing Argentina duck hunting, which intrigued me to say the least.
With that said I thought I would open it up to anyone out there who has had the good fortune of traversing the USA or other outlying countries chasing ducks.  What were the great places to go that you would recommend others to visit.  Is an east coast trip a must for duck hunters?  Perhaps finding a way to hunt out of a layout boat in the ocean?  Or maybe it is an out of the way spot that no one thinks about like Idaho (if you are from Idaho don't take this as a slap, I have heard the hunting is fabulous in the state but it does not normally get the pub that higher profile states like Arkansas and North Dakota get)?  What are you thoughts?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
