I had no idea some of these cities looked the way they do. I've never been to Chicago, had no idea it was so pretty a skyline.

Cool. I love things like this. Love anything "old" actually. Old buildings and architecture are some of the best works of art. Chicago is now on my list of places to visit. The list is 2 pages long and growing constantly.

Chicago is a great town. Lots to see and do, and especially eat. Might be moving there. I took my kids to the Pier when the Blue Angels were there. Wow, what a sight. I'ts the largest air show in the world. Very impressive

The air and water show is awesome Cyndi, as is the 4th of July fireworks over the lake. I agree that it has a lot of great eats! Especially the pizza, got to do Falco's Giordano's deep or Palermos....Geeeze I'm hungry all of a sudden....oh and the white castles.....mmmm

White Castle's
I don't care for them myself. Not as good as they used to be. I have a recipe to make them at home and they are waaaaay better. Have you been to Portello's? Another great place. The Museum is awesome also. I got to see the Monet exhibit. Stunning.

Re: White Castle's
Cyndi, please send me the recipe via e-mail, had it but lost it. Thanks! Yes, I love the museums! Was a member of the S&I forever, We took my step son to the Field when Dinosaur Sue was in town, he was amazed!

really? That's where my family is. Gorgeous year around, even the winter. Yep, I was on a couple of 'protected acres'. Nice, except for those damn racoons and hawks and the occasional owl that would raid a bird's nest in the middle of a family outdoor dinner

Re: Absolutley mind blowing!OT
I've been to all these places except Shenzen, and Guangzhou China, and Sao Paolo. I think they should have included Perth Australia. By the way...I've yet to make $100,000 as a SA (or even 1/3 of that) It's hard to travel near the end of the month, if you want to make any money at all.

Re: Absolutley mind blowing!OT
I know Les....every time we want to travel, we have to make sure it's not that time of the month 
Hubby got to see Korea a few years back for work reasons, he thought New York was crowded!

Re: Charm
I'd recommend going to many of these places (Korea would not be first on my list). It is really difficult to go on long trips while waiting for the phone to ring. I take a week from time to time but only on the first of the month. That pretty much leaves Asia out. Oh well, Mexico is only a couple of hours away, and as long as no hurricanes, it's still okay for a break (from the snow, like today. Wish I were there now!)

Re: Great skylines!.....ot Very Cool Charm
I've seen most of them but I think I would have replaced a couple with San Francisco (viewed from Marin) and Miami. A collection of gargoyles, wow, how cool is that!
