1) Your bedroom
2) Your living room
3) Your kitchen
4) Your work office

Unfortunately, that list might not be relevant until 2021.

I have tickets to NYC for June 4—not sure I want to go then, even if I can.

Yup. My home is now my city.
Oh well, no traffic, plenty of good food, lodging in the master bedroom, teleworking options in the office, and plenty of entertainment on YouTube and Television.

No crazy surprises. I would of thought somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway/1 would have been featured, like Big Sur or Santa Barbara. Also, a few east coast areas I would consider, like Acadia National Park or Newport, RI.

Good list, well dispersed. 30 places isn't many.

Same.. I have a trip to NYC in late June... not sure what's going to happen. I have a trip to Europe is August but but... ugh who knows! At least I still have another trip to Hawaii in November to look forward to.

The Adirondacks made it! Hehe, Acadia is beautiful too. I think the East coast destinations just aren't as dramatic as some of the interior west destinations.

Las Vegas - very nice
Miami - very nice
New Orleans - very nice
New York - gorgeous
Outer Banks - nice
San Diego - very nice
San Francisco - nice
Seattle - very nice
Washington - nice

I think these are all worthy.

Looking at this list: https://www.listchallenges.com/the-u...a-wonders-list

I think a few of these should be added: take out Aspen and Telluride. Add San Juan and Santa Fe/Northern New Mexico
