<BR>"London Eye aka Millenium Wheel. Enclosed capsules located next to the Thames. You spend 35 minutes on it and it slowly goes around like a Ferris Wheel. Others love it. I was not impressed. My 2 cents

Re: London Eye <BR> <BR>Agree that it's not worth the time. When we were there a few months ago you had to have a reservation to ride. It may be different in January. If you want to ride, check with your hotel to see if they're still requiring reservations.

I guess I'm like Will Rogers, I can't think of anyplace I've ever been that I wouldn't like to re-visit under the right circumstances (meaning if I could get there First Class Air, without having to endure the torture of those flying sardine cans). Given the luxury of flying first class, I might even take another large ship cruise. That being said, places I would most like to return to are: <BR>Most of Italy, the Ardennes area of Belgium, Southern Germany, parts of Austria and Switzerland, Cyprus, some parts of the U.K., anywhere in the Rockies, and even Dubai. <BR>One of the best things about Europe and the U.K., is that they have good trains, where First class doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I KNOW THIS STRANGE, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PLACE I WOULD DEFINATELY NOT RETURN TO. I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER WANT TO SEE VIETNAM AGAIN, BUT IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING NOW. LOVE THEME PARKS, NATIONAL PARKS AND BATTLEFIELDS. GIVE ME SCENERY AND EXCITEMENT.NOW FOR MY NEXT 53 YEARS--!
