Re: London Eye
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.

Sure wish I had the travel experiences some of you have had!! Also, very interesting to see all of the different replies - guess that's a good thing, or a few places would sure be crowded! Based on my limited travels:
Would go again in a SECOND:
1. Orlando area - Loved WDW, Universal and Sea World. All made me feel like a kid again!!
2. Washington, DC
3. Niagara Falls - both US and Canada. Live within two hours, go up often, always love it (go in the off season!)
4. Cooperstown, NY - Baseball Hall of Fame - loved it!
5. Myrtle Beach, SC
6. Blue Ridge Parkway/Shenandoah NP
7. Adirondack Mountains - New York
8. Any baseball park I have ever been to anywhere.
Don't care if I see it again:
1. New York City
2. Beckley,WV

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:
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.
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.

It's funny how you lose appreciation for what you have. I noticed a few people have said that they loved to go back to Boston. I'm from the Boston area and would love to escape.
