Upon Further Review …


So what have we learned? For one thing, most of you need a refresher course on the Taj Mahal. The iconic Indian tomb was incorrectly cited by 80 percent of respondents - easily outdistancing the next most misidentified site, Seattle's Space Needle.


What's a trip without a good slide show at the end? We asked for your best photos, and 2,953 of you obliged. (No, we still haven't organized them into photo albums … and don't hold your breath either.) You'll find a few of our favorites starting on page 64.


Of the 9,188 entries we received, most came from warm-weather states, with Texas (2,074), California (1,439), and Florida (895) taking the top three spots in terms of representation. Frankly, we didn't really feel the love from South Dakota and Montana (three each - one of which was a winner), North Dakota (two), and Wyoming (one).
