10 out of 50 is nothing to be proud of (especially when 2 places are in Brazil and I used to live in SF). Even more embarrassing is the fact that I’ve never been to Yosemite. Although I’m really not an outdoorsy nature person so I really have no desire to visit many of these places. So I’ve highlighted in Italics the places that I still would like to visit.

For other lists, check out the Travel Channel and Lonely Planet sites.
