Return to:
Washington, D.C. - fascinating
San Antonio - love food and Hill Country
Maine - beautiful coastline
New York - upstate is nice & City has so much to see and do
Berlin - incredible city with so much history and culture
Prague - great architecture, romantic
Vienna - culture and food
Interlaken - great daytrip to Jungfrau area
Florence - The David is worth it alone

One Time Only: really none. I've seen cities on this list of others and think why, I enjoyed that city, so the challenge is mine to see what will enhance my experience.

Definately want to go again:

Ireland - just once so far
WDW (just accept it for what it is and enjoy it - the kids sure do). 5 times so far.
Las Vegas (same as WDW - except for the kid thing) - just once to date
San Diego - I'd like to retire in La Jolla- twice so far
Boston - I live here and do appreciate what we've got.
Maui - its beautiful
Kaui - it more beautiful
Toronto - lived there for 2 years and am going back with the family in July.
Long Beach, Washington - for some reason I just sort of liked the place - doubt it will show up on anyone else's list.
New Hampshire's Mt Washington area
Stowe, VT - in the summer

Enjoyed but once/twice was enough

Montreal - but I want to see the rest of Quebec
New York - I just don't get it. I know I'll be back but not by choice.
LA - I just don't get it either.
Seattle - lovely but I'm done
Cape Cod - sick to death of the place

Wish List - someday I'll do more than read about other people's trips to:

Italy
Barcelona
Paris
Sweden
Bermuda
A Mediterrean cruise
Australia
Central America

No desire to see:
Africa
South America
Asia
Carribbean

Chicago-went for blues fest, had the best time
anywhere in Colorado-skiing or hiking
Lviv-great city
Kiev-lived there miss it

Rome-beautiful, but saw enough for a lifetime!
Florence-not as picturesque as Tuscany
Brussels-great beer, but not much else
Las Vegas-not a gambler
Cancun-great fun for college kids
Bahamas-not as nice as I thought it would be, nice people though

Funny that I missed this thread over the past year. Some responses made me chuckle, some made me sad (we have a time share near WDW and love it and most posters detest it- of course there is no gourmet food to be found, but we have a condo, and I'm the cook). I was interested that no one said that either they either loved or hated Western Nebraska (duh)- where I grew up, and couldn't wait to leave for S. Calif -Capo. Beach. But I garnered information on a few smaller areas both in the US and Europe from the postings.
Ours NOT to return to: Florence (dirty but impressive-- but we live in a CITY, and like the countryside); Loved areas around Grasse, Avignon, the wine area between Strasbourg and Colon, the smaller islands in the Cyclades. This year we're again leasing a car and just going all over- Paris, Lyon, Avignon, Barcelona, Pyraneese, Biaritz, Brittany, Normandy. Obviously this group is opinionated- give me some thumbs-up or thumbs-down on those environs. We leave early June for 1 mo. If any one has any questions, email me. We're not really seasoned travelers, but we're learning every year!

Although, my motto is why go to back to the same place when there is so much of the world yet to see. For the sake of the post I will add my opinion.

places to visit again:

greek islands (especially santorini)
cozumel (snorkeling/diving)
costa rica (this was iffy)
Jamaica (also iffy-but LOVE reggae)
chicago
Hawaii (not oahu)
london
cedar pointe

one time only:

puerto vallerta (NEVER again)
dominican republic (although fun)
WALT DISNEY WORLD (over rated)
toronto
cancun
florida

Places I dream to see next:
africa
belize
spain

as a los angeleno, I must say thank you to the many who promise never to return. you did promise, didn't you? we are quite happy to see you go elsewhere. we have enough traffic and airline congestion as it is, so thank you. and for those of you who hate vegas, since I go every month, I'd like to thank you for not returning there also.

Looking forward to return visit to Garden Tomb at Jerusalem as well as Masada near the Dead Sea. Also, the Badlands in South Dakota and some small streams in Yellowstone beckon a return trip.
