I enjoyed reading your posting flub! Do you know where you are now or do you get up and look at the telephone book to see what city you are in?
Looks like you have had a lot of fun with much more to come!

WOW - I want your life! (although, actually, I love mine).
How do you decide on where to go? I am always paralyzed by indecision - I want to go back to places that I've been to explore more in depth, but I want to see new things as well.

Michael,
You'll be delighted to know that the Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus has undergone a massive renovation and uplift and is now open - you won't recognize it, actually nice to fly thru that airport!

Hari, thanks, I'd really like to get back to India and Mumbai -- I'm fiddling around and planning a trip, maybe for 2010, to the Lakshadweeps and the states of southern India (including Andaman). But, that's a long way off -- too many interesting places booked for 2008 and scheduled for 2009 (including first return to Africa at end of 2009 since 2006).
Momliz, an ongoing debate (addressed differently by each of us) is between a new destination and an old favorite. Just to clarify the list, those are the dates the sites were inscribed on the UNESCO list (on the website that I cut-and-pasted them from), not my dates of visit, so I have visited favorite places (especially London, Paris, Rome and Madrid) many times, including at least one yearly trip to one or more of them.
But, its a bit sad to realize that I likely will never return to some of those places.
