Man-Made Wonders

No way in hell with Egypt embracing the Muslim Brotherhood, imprisoning Christians and murdering Christian, Jews, women and anyone they consider to be an infidel

I was so excited to see the pyramids and we traveled overnight from sharm el sheik for the experience. It is magical when you get there and we have amazing pictures from it.

We spent 8 miraculous days in Egypt in September 2005. From the pyramids and Sphinx in Giza to Karnak Temple in Luxor and the Valley of the Kings and Queens, this is the best and worst vacation we've ever had. The only bad was the heat! We suggest traveling in maybe January or February. We four planned our own private tour with a fantastic agency out of New York and we were never disappointed except for the heat! It is intense; but, so are the wonders of Egypt. Our 8 days were filled with amazing sites and history from knowledgeable guides and even an Egyptologist professor. The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo was magnificent and my words cannot do justice to a visit to this country. I just hope there comes a time when American travelers are safe again in that part of the world.

Another dream destination, when things get a little less violent.

I enjoyed the Mayan ruins.

Amazing!!!!!! Spend the extra $$$ and get a Mayan guide! The wealth of information that they share with you cannot be replaced by simply walking around. These people are very proud of their culture and history and they give you a clear understanding of what life may have been like.

The place is huge and would take at least one whole day to thoroughly visit. There is so much information for each point of interest and it is highly recommended to have an experienced guide with you

Another must see place. Once of the 7 wonders of the world.

I decided to spend a little extra money and booked the Special Access Stonehenge Tour with Astral Travels. They have a choice of Sunrise or Sunset tours and we chose the Sunrise. They picked us up at our hotel at 5:45am in a comfortable mini-bus. Our tour guide Louise was very pleasant and informative. After stopping at a roadside stop for coffee and breakfast, we proceeded to Stonehenge (about an hour's drive outside of London). Being able to take pictures of Stonehenge before visiting hours was key. Astral lets everyone take pictures of the stones before walking into them so that you get great shots of Stonehenge minus any people. Then they allow you to spend an hour walking amongst the stones while Louise explained some of the more pertinent aspects of the site. Champagne toast afterwards and then off to a short stop in Salisbury. All in all, it was a spectacular experience. We were back in London by 1:30pm. Highly recommended!

We purchased Special Access tickets to Stonehenge directly from English Heritage. It was a wonderful experience. We went in March 2006 and there were about 20 people there. The tickets are 12 GBP each.

the best time to view the aurora is from late August to mid-April

Some day I will be able to see this.

Much better to see than you can imagine.

Combine this with a visit to the Palantino

Can't wait to get to go.

The Colosseum is a must see if you visit Rome. Defiantly recommend a tour guide

We couldn't afford the opera that was playing while we were there, but we did see a very good play - The Tempest - in one of the smaller theaters. It was lovely.

It looks not that big from the outside, but when you go inside its very big. The main theater is unbelievably large. With other smaller theater areas in it too. A place you must go and see when you are in Sydney

Make sure you take one of the tours of the Opera House.

Best time to visit is Oct - March and see it at sunset. So pretty

The beauty and tranquility of the Taj Mahal cannot be photographed or described. You simply have to go. It has beautiful gardens and is the most stunning and wonderful building, and is a monument to not only love but also to religious tolerance. If you get the chance to go, do so it is wonderful.

Would really love to go sometimes when tensions are not so high.

Went in June and weather was perfect for the walk through Petra.. The highlight is actually the Siq.. the walk through the mountains towards the Treasury was breathtaking

Ferry is ok, no need to climb up the stairs

Our family went in 2000. My son had a walking cast on his leg, but still was able to climb to the top with us - a memory for a lifetime.

If you do not want to go to the Island, take the Staten Island Ferry for a fantastic view. It's also a great view to go at night.

A must see but kind of disappointing. 22 stories up spiral staircases to get a view of New Jersey. Ellis Island is a must though. Fun and interesting. If you had family come through there you can track them down.

The National Park service is an invaluable resource at Gettysburg. Go to the Visitor's Center the first day your are there and visit the Electric Map. It will help give you an idea of the scope of the battles.

It's my second home!

I was there with my parents when I was young, have to go there with my girlfriend now =)

Such a beautiful city!

Edinburgh Castle!!! The Royal Mile!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

The dirt roads into the park are rough and rattle your teeth, but this place is worth the effort. Come in on north side, Nageezi, for least amount of rough road driving. Pueblo Alto loop is a great hike. Challenge of climbing up the ‘stairs’ at start of trail that opens to splendid views of the canyon. If visiting April – October pick a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday night to camp at Chaco and check out the Chaco Night Sky Program. Rangers explain the importance of astronomy in Chaco Culture and allow visitors to view the stars through one of several telescopes at the center.

Lots of real history, beautiful museum and outstanding monuments. A beautiful place to walk and think.

A must do if your in Oahu.

amazing views, great exploring. The kids never wanted to leave. Pack a picnic.
