Show offs! 😁 I've only been out of the UK twice, once on a day trip to Calais, and a week's holiday in Majorca as a child.
Best place in the UK I've been to is the Isle of Skye, when it still had the ferry to get to.
Oh, and I lived on the Isle of Wight as a child, which I loved, and keep meaning to go back to sometime. Think I have a thing about islands!
Had a couple of holidays around the Devon and Cornwall areas, but wouldn't really want to live there as the pace of life is too slow, the roads are too narrow, and they can get bloody horrible weather there!

The Great Wall of China Niagra Falls, Canada Yosemite NP, California Muir Woods NM, California Grand Canyon NP, Arizona Panchgani, India Hannibal, Missouri Saint Louis, Missouri Maroon Bells, Colorado Maui, Hawaii Saint Jiub, I am curious about your choice of Niagra Falls, Canada. I do think it's incredible and everyone should see the Falls, but I guess growing up in Buffalo and visiting Canada every single time we had out-of-town company has me a bit jaded. What made you put it on your list?

The Great Wall of China Niagara Falls, Canada Yosemite NP, California Muir Woods NM, California Grand Canyon NP, Arizona Panchgani, India Hannibal, Missouri Saint Louis, Missouri Maroon Bells, Colorado Maui, Hawaii Saint Jiub, I am curious about your choice of Niagara Falls, Canada. I do think it's incredible and everyone should see the Falls, but I guess growing up in Buffalo and visiting Canada every single time we had out-of-town company has me a bit jaded. What made you put it on your list? I just enjoyed traipsing around the falls ... and the stories of survival.
When did you go to New Orleans? I visited New Orleans about five years ago and was put off by the pervasiveness and persistence of the beggars. I did see one good blues band, and generally enjoyed the circus atmosphere though.

Saint Jiub, we lived in Sulphur, Louisiana for a year. Let's just say it was decades ago. : ) We drove east to New Orleans several times. I was fascinated by the eerie graveyards with everything above ground. We went to an oyster bar once and I bit into a pearl in my oyster. Obviously not anything that could be set in jewelry, but it was fun to see one about mid-way through the process. Also the food in general was incredible.
Everyone should see Niagra once. If you can shut out the touristy aspects it's really quite majestic.

I was in New Orlean for a business convention held at hotel one block from Bourbon street. Bourbon Street was fairly enjoyable
One beggar had the following joke:
I bet I know where you got your shoes?
...
On your feet.

Out of the US? Only Canada, which hardly counts, and Germany. The trip to Germany was only possible because we had American friends living and working there and we could stay with them.
