      ooops. I guess the zero votes will have to post to the thread. Limitations to our poll of 10 options and since there are already votes I don't want to tear it back down. Sorry.

        Only have seen Alcatraz. There are really only 2 on the list that I want to see. Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon.

          If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

          BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

            We have done 5 which is all we plan to do. We have no interest in doing anymore than what we have.

              Three so far. But if I see one of them more than once can I count it twice?

                I don't count what I visited as a surly team (Grand Canyon, Alca) as there wasn't much more than pointing to it, going Oooo, and back to the car. So I'd vote zero with a phantom check mark for those 2 items.

                          I have 4 but will be adding two/three more in the next year/18 months.
                          Pretty embarrassed to say I have not been to Ellis Island and Niagra Falls, both in my home state and one less then 100 miles from me!
