There's no option for "none"?

I have 4 but will be adding two more in the next year.
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!

Geez Pat....Even "I" have been to both of those!

I am having a few questions as I try to count, but I clearly have not hit many. Not much I'm sorry to miss, either, though Istanbul is of interest.

Blue Lagoon, Iceland
Palace of Versailles, France
Colosseum, Rome yes, I am pretty sure this was covered in my post-college graduation European tour
Machu Picchu, Peru too high for me
Grand Canyon, Arizona Yes
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul this I would like to do
Niagara Falls, New York and Ontario how do we count just the Canadian side? Though I may have also been to NY side, too, but from what I hear it's not that memorable by comparison
Great Wall, China
Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Bay I loved this one, would do again!

Honorable mentions
Valley of the Kings in Egypt
Acropolis in Greece
Chichen Itza in Mexico Does it count if I sent my kids with their Dad while I went to the beach?
New York's Ellis Island I have been past it on a boat many times... I MAY have gone on a school trip when I was much younger... ?
The canals of Venice. Yes, but I was unimpressed!!! And does Venice, Las Vegas count? that was cleaner...

I better get packing as I have only seen 5!

Glitter dahling, when you were younger, they hadn't restored Ellis Island yet for visitors.
It partly reopened to visitors in 1990.

Well then it's a good thing I don't remember it!

This is cause she's never "home".
