Mazamet - once was a thousand times too many. <BR> <BR>Toulouse - three times was two times too many. <BR> <BR>Can't get enough of Paris, Venice, Florence, the Italian Lakes, the Dolomites, and...duh...the Dordogne. <BR> <BR>Places I'd like to go back to that might end up on the can't get enough of list would include Jutland, northern Germany, Prague, and the Adriatic coast.

Venice was definatelly my favorite place to visit and I will love to go back. <BR> <BR>I thought Pisa was enough one time. The area around it really left a bad impression on me. It was very crowded and filled with the dirtiest pigeons I have ever seen.

Cindy: Please give me your thoughts on Munich (either here or by email). I've never been, but have always wanted to to go there. Some places are commonly panned, but I think this is the first time I've seen Munich on such a list. Yours might be an interesting or enlightening opinion.

Loved the UK, HATED Chester. Lousy B&B, terrible TIC for assistance, lousy food, no atmosphere BUT a great laundromat with a wonderful assistant.. <BR>maybe another visit is called for because so many people love Chester.

I'm curious how much time those who put Rome down as once was enough spent there. The first time I went I only spent two days there in August and didn't care much whether I went back. I'm glad I did -- the next time I went I spent a week there off-season and absolutely loved it.
