Been to every one of those, and none are my favorite

I would have to say London. Oslo rates up there pretty high, too, as does Jerusalem. And Budapest.

Hell, with enough cash anyone can go to all the above and see a bunch of nice places every year. I'm always more impressed by that "Wow!" place that comes in an unexpected country.

You keep your snobby, elitist, money-fueled list and I'll stick with my "everyman" list. Glad to know you are wealthy enough to make it to all the nice places.

Haha! Good one, Jon

I forgot to add Peterborough to my list of favorites :wink:

You did mean Paris, Texas, didn't you, EP?

I forgot one... Kielder-area Working Men's Club in Northumberland... ahh, the memories.

Never been to the USA.

Why so US-centric, Epelle?

But on a serious note, how sick is it that I've lived within a couple of hours drive of Yosemite for the last 30+ years and have never been?

Make the trip - you'll be very glad you did. Great camping, and the Awahnee(?) is a great hotel.

Yosemite is one of the few places I have been to where even the hype of the place did not do it justice. You really need to do the run, it's an easy drive the roads are pretty good until the park itself.

Chances are it looks like this right now.

And even these pictures do not really do it justice. It is truly a beautiful place. The trick is to get there and do things without major crowds. There are slow(er) times of year where you won't feel so crowded.

Agree. No picture of Yosemite can do it justice. I also agree get there out of tourist season. Thats why this time of year is perfect. Especially with the snow. Make sure you see a sunset. The cliffs become alive with the shadows and red/orange colours.

My first trip to Yosemite was spring of my freshman year in college. When I first saw Half Dome and the Falls I was AWEstruck. It doesn't even look REAL. It looks like some Robert Kincaid type painted the most surreally beautiful landscape he could possibly imagine. gh you MUST go NOW!!!!
