The place where you spent your childhood, looking at it through your adult eyes.

I've been to a decent number of places on their list, and when it comes to places/events, I am in large part in agreement. Sometimes things they leave off baffle me a little, but I can't think of a specific example off the top of my head. My biggest bone to pick is that the only lodging they ever mention is all five-star accommodations. I get that they're aiming for places you should try to see/stay at for an unforgettable experience, but it would be nice if they could also include (perhaps a separate appendix or something?) places to stay that don't cost $400 a night and up. I'd even settle for a bullet-point list at the end of each section.
Ole,
how about Lofoten Islands? I loved them.
cheers,
