Everything you wanted to know about Australia but were scared to ask

Interesting thoughts by you all about travel.  Speaking for myself I really do not enjoy visiting large cities here in the United States.  Yes there are many things to see and do but I do not enjoy the mass of humanity you run into and the driving is insane.  I would rather visit an areas natural wonders and sights.  

Roz made mention of wanting to see many of our National Parks across the United States and I cannot recommend them enough especially Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Glacier National Park, Grand Canyon, and especially Volcano National Park in Hawaii.  My wife and I have been to most of them as she likes to paint scenes from the National Parks. There are so many more both here and in Canada to enjoy.

But ... but... think of the shopping!

Yes true Ed but I guess you have visited a few and they all start mingling into one... you would probably not be a fan of London then, but Hyde Park is nice as is Buckingham palace and some of the older buildings, taking a trip in the London Eye to see the Houses of Parliament, St Pauls etc... oh if you came over we would have to take you on a visit - thankfully Cambridge is a minute city - probably the size of a US provincial town or something - 100,000 inhabitants - 20,000 of which work or study at the University.

Ed the Volcano national park in Hawaii sounds awesome, probably like a scaled up version of my visit to Iceland... see - see - I am doing it again - comparing foreign lands to Europe (slaps wrist) stop it!!! To be fair though Iceland is really awesome - did you go when you spent time in Norway Ed?

How hilarious is this - I actually WANT to visit a Wall Mart - you guys talk about it so much I think I'd be in gaming heaven... anyway - personal madness aside

Anyway - I would like to include Canada too as it looks AMAZING and my Gran went there and loved it, and besides it's only just past your doorstep isn't it Ed ?

I would like to see London as there is so much history there.  Plus the fact that your architecture is way more impressive than what we have here in many of our cities!  

I did not spend time on the ground due to the flight schedule we had to keep but I did fly over many of the areas in both Iceland and Norway.

Wal Mart does have some of the best prices around and once you have been in one of them you will see that they are all configured the same way everywhere.  

Canada is only an hour away from where I live.  Montreal and Toronto are easy drives.
