London-OMG, the shopping, and the sights you see....not just the buildings, I'm talking about the people. When we visited, I had my picture taken in Trafalgar Square next to a guy with a huge glue mohawk. We just asked him to come sit with us and get his picture taken. The shopping is out of this World. Calais France was very nice, too, not anywhere close to the size of London, of course, but, again, neat shopping. In the USA, I like NYCity for a BIG city, and I think Jacksonville for a smaller city. I love the downtown waterfront area, and also the beaches. Jacksonville is HUGE, about the size of a whole county. In fact, I think it IS all of Duval County.

I LOVE NEW YORK! Seriously though, I really do. I used to travel there for work when I was a retail buyer and I could live there in a heartbeat. DD is like me, a big city girl...ds and hubby are more laidback, outside kinda guys and would be happy with a camper in the woods.

London, Stuttgart & Vienna ETA: I thought Mont St Michel was one of the coolest cites - and the fries they sold inside were AWESOME.

Pittsburgh! We love the black and gold! Just being in the city is like a religious homecoming for my hubby and I really enjoyed the time we were there. It was totally different then where we live and it was a great experience.

I have never been to Mont St Michel but it looks awesome! ITA with you regarding Paris (shudder)! I love Radolfzell (home town), Stuttgart (used to live there), Avignon, and San Francisco. And Toronto. |

San Francisco, far and away. Beautiful sites, very cosmopolitan, city life, beach life, great rowdy history. My kind of place!~

). We're SO looking forward to seeing the city this time. We were down in October (stayed on Isle of Palms on "million dollar row" or whatever it's called) for my SIL's wedding and didn't get to see ANYTHING. My all time fave place is Niagara Falls (the Canadian side). We went there for our honey moon and that was THE best time I've had. Maybe because it was w/o kids? Maybe my answer will change after we get back from Charleston and Savannah!

I am another Pittsburgh fan, I feel it is a very much underrated city, would move there in a heartbeat under certain conditions that only have to do with our fam situation. Overseas I love Taipei and almost any other city in Taiwan and also loved Hong Kong... but only for visits, I don't think I would want to live there. Paris... pffffft. Hated it in the 70's. I also like London for visits, but definitely don't think I could happily live there due to the social travails there. MZ |

London. I would love to go there for a month or two. I have been to Paris twice and found the people not overly friendly but certainly not rude. And it is beautiful in spite of the French. I do hate their penchant for going on strike at a moments notice. Hong Kong I loved also. Teeming with people, hot, muggy and utterly fascinating. |

I loved the diversity of Hong Kong. It is so alive and exciting. It has to be my favorite. In the states, I grew up around Boston so that weighs heavily. I love Boston and NY- again because of the diversity. I did not understand the impact of the neighborhoods and all the differences available in daily life until I moved to the midwest! There is much less diversity here.

Monterey, CA -- where both sets of my grandparents have lived since the 1930's. It has changed a lot over the years (way too many people and cars now!) but it still takes me back to my childhood and I love the wharf and cannery row and the city's history of which my grandparents were a big part of.

It's a toss up between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. I went there on vacation in February and loved both of these cities. I hope to go back again soon.
