Hey, don't feel too bad. I've never actually been to the Statue of Liberty so I have been to none of these...

I have been to a few and plan on hitting two more next year when I go to Germany anf Greece. I would go to Paris but they don't like my Cigars.

I've been to one!

I have only been to one of the sites as well: Chichen Itza Aztec site, Yucatan, Mexico.

I went to the pyramid there in high school. That's it.

Five for me:

1. Colosseum
2. Chichen Itza
3. Eiffel Tower
4. Statue of Liberty
5. Stonehenge

What do I like most about travelling, besides the obvious? When I'm able to watch tv, and see a place, and think, "I've been there."

Yep, I love seeing the same thing. In fact right after coming back from Italy we rented two movies that showed Positano.

I agree.

I have seen five (#1, 6, 8, 17, 18). I was so close to #2 and wished I had visited that one too. Hopefully still one day as I want to go back to Spain.

Stonehenge is such a mystery to me and there are other relics too around there. Lawren, you will like visiting this but you can't walk close to the stones anymore because people had no respect for them. We did and it was nice to be able to do this then and I even have a picture of it too.

Ah, Steve, you are such a braggart. Hopefully, you have a wife to take on all of your adventures. I have yet to see you mention one. If not, I know someone who would love to travel with you. (Not me, I am married.)
