Hmmm...it's always so hard to pick a favourite.

Europe
-It's a toss-up between Rome, Italy and Edinburgh, Scotland. Completely different cities that I love for completely different reasons

North America
-Vancouver, Canada or New York, USA. Again, completely different cities, but both always draw me back.

Middle East
-Petra, Jordan. I don't know if it's even big enough to qualify as a city, but I loved it. Istanbul, Turkey runs a very close second - I would go back to Turkey in a heartbeat!

Africa
-Cape Town, South Africa or Luxor, Egypt.

Asia
-Chiang Mai, Thailand. Friendly, beautiful, historical. What's not to love?

Australia/Oceania
-Cairns, Australia.

South America
-Alas, I have yet to make to this continent.

Actually this is a tough question to answer choosing London or Paris both are wonderful cities but I would suggest you to visit Paris.

I like most Alaska,I have Alaska quote which clear you how much I like Alaska.Inhabitants ,fruits and Tongass National Forest of Alaska I like most.:)
Eight stars of gold on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.

"Alaska State Song"

I'm going to be flying in to Atlanta from Peru next February on Delta. I booked my flight with Skymiles and they have me going to Cincinatti {for 19 hours} before my final flight to XNA {Northwest Arkansas.} IF the flight to Atlanta arrives on time, I'll have one hour and 35 minutes to go through customs and immigration before changing terminals for my flight to Cincinatti. I have to assume that customs could take a while, especially since I plan on visiting Bolivia also so I may be subject to more scrutiny than most. Am I likely to make that connection in time?
The reason I'm asking is that I wonder if I should book a hotel in Cincinatti because by the time I missed the flight, if that should happen, I'd end up paying for a hotel room whether I was there or not if I had already booked it.
On the other hand, if I missed the Cincinatti connection perhaps they'd put me on a flight straight to XNA. I don't really care to spend 19 hours in Cincinatti in February anyway.
Anyone have any thoughts on my chances of making that connection after going through customs and immigration?

New York City: The culture, the activity, the museums, the people, the food....count how many different languages you hear in one day, it's awesome. NYC is a great mix of so many different people that make it thier own. For Europe, I'm going to say Munich, I like the old world parts of the city and of course the Bier.

Asia, I'm still exploring. I've only been to Thailand and Korea, though next month starts the real traveling. I'll take Chang Mai over bangkok. I'm hoping to hit Beijing, shanghai, sydney, taipei and more in the next six months...i hear they are all awesome.
