Oh yes...the Landing. that is a fun place. Union station is really cool, too. I guess when you live somewhere forever, you take stuff like that for granted. I never want to move out of St. Louis, but I hear all this cool stuff about other cities and it makes me wish we had that stuff here!

I fell in love with Toronto. So beautiful and yes, SO CLEAN. I haven't been there since 99' but I always talk about going back. Hopefully i'll get the chance sometime soon because it's one of those places that you just have an amazing time in and won't ever forget. Maybe i'll post some of my pictures in a bit

The only thing I hate about Canada is that the cab drivers are ****ing insane. They think they're drag racers.

I DESPISE Toronto. Of course I can't stand huge crowded cities. So imagine I'd hate New York even more. Now I love these big cities for all they give to us. Hell every freaking TV Show comes from New York or LA, but for me personally I do not like big cities, Toronto being the most crowded I've been to. San Antonia was another crowded city that just drove me crazy. The only big city I've been too that I just love is Dallas. I like Brian loved to hate Dallas (me mainly cause I hate the cowboys) but I went there a while ago and fell in love with Dallas. I love the big spinning ball thing.

I enjoyed Scottsdale when I was there a few years ago so I'd like to go back there. NYC is also an interesting place to visit. If I ever had the opportunity to travel in Europe I'd like to visit Italy.

Quimby's attorney: Mr. Quimby, did you assault Mr. Lacoste?
Freddy: Of course not. I love each and every living thing on God's green earth.
Quimby's attorney: Therefore, you certainly would never lose your temper over something as trivial as the pronunciation of "chowder".
Freddy: That's chowdah. Chowdah! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you--especially those of you in the jury!

Gatlinburg was better before it got all touristy! At least it isn't as touristy as Pigeon Forge! That is where Dollywood and all that stuff is. I don't really care for it at all. Unlike Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg still has its appeal---it is still fairly quaint, and the mountains/Smoky Mountain National Park, which it borders, is just beautiful.

My dad and I went through there...ummm...back in 2002 I think it was. Can't remember exactly, but we'll go back for sure...I'll call ya!

Pigeon Forge, OMG, I hate that town. The traffic that day we drove through, a friggin' nightmare!!

Sigh...I love the mountains. I think it's quite obvious by now. LOL

I hate LA too....went there in 1998. Blergh.

OMG, I love Toronto too. I first went there to see FM in 2003 and then went back for New Years later on that year. It is such a beautifully large and clean city and everybody was really friendly. I cant wait to go back there and the view from the CN tower is amazing.
New York is another amazing city that I am totally in love with. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I have been there 4 times and cant wait to go back again. If it were up to me I would live there for sure. It would be a new experience every day.
I just got back from Las Vegas and I love that city too. It isnt that big but the strip is beautiful at night. I dont care about gambling too much but each hotel has something different to offer. My favs are The Venitian, Caesars, Alladin, MGM and The Palms. The Palms is cool because it is where all the young people go but the only bad thing is that all the chics are look like supermodels. I saw Jerome Bettis and Kordell Stewart there which I thought was pretty funny since I am from Pittsburgh and all.
The Bahamas was different from other places that I have been but the beach is sooo beautiful there and you cant help but fall in love with the place. Who doesnt like a resort where they bring the drinks to you while laying out. The Atlantis/Paradise Island is the place to stay.
I have also been to Cleveland, Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon in Arizona, Columbus, Nags Head NC, Myrtle Beach SC, Philadelphia, Ft Lauderdale and Miami.

I went there in the early 90s but I really did not get to see too much. Maybe someday I will get to go back.

I loved Florence and I thought Rome was incredible, I think I fell in love with just about everywhere I went in Italy.

I vacationed in Tampa and Miami for years. I had a set of grandparents in each city. I got real bored with it, and won't be taking a Florida vacation anytime soon. However, Tampa wasen't too bad. There's pleanty to do. Last time I was there, which was about 10 years ago, it was gettin' pretty shady, so my grandparents moved. I remember Wet and Wild waterpark, and Busch Gardens. It's been even longer since I've been to either one of those, and they were a blast.

However, there may be an Orlando vacation next year, as Sara will be 7, and that's about the right age for a week in Disney.
