Languedoc region of France 5. Italy I agree Boston, MA is a great city. I also love New Orleans, LA...my DH just returned from there and he says it still hasn't quite recovered from the hurricane yet. And I love Portland, OR also. -------------------- ~Kit California Local Expert Visit my travel blogs: http://www.travelpod.com/members/kitkatgo

I rate mine based on the fact that I'd definitely go back to all of those over some of the other places. -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here

Aw, Kit loves Paris... I'm not sure if you can just choose "Italy" that's a pretty big place... Judges, do we let this one go? Jeremy! Florence... I'm surprised... Ohhh I forgot about Amsterdam, yes Amsterdam is pretty cool. I might switch that for Nice actually. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara
