- New Orleans, Louisiana - for a latte at Cafe du Monde, a stroll down Pirate Alley, and a walk through the St. Louis Cemetery to scratch an X on the Voodoo Queen's grave
- Brugges, Belgium - chocolates on the square, a stroll along the canals, take some photos of the lion statues, and a stop for a golden ale
- Prague, Czech Republic - book-browsing and a latte at the Globe, brunch at Radost FX, an all-night disco, a walk across Charles Bridge on my way up Castle Hill to look through the shops on Golden Lane

- Mojiko (Kitakyushu), Japan - a ferry ride from Shimonoseki, a walk along the boardwalk, people-watching & sketching at the train station, lunch at Naima
- the Grand Canyon, Arizona - one more sunrise
- Greenwich, UK - one more ferry ride down the Thames from London in order to stand at 0 degrees longitude again
- San Francisco, California - one more 3-hour chat with Jola over a good cup of coffee at pretty much any cafe
- Venice, Italy - to watch the gondolas emerge from and disappear back into the fog
- Missoula, Montana - to shake the dust off over a hefty breakfast at the Raven Cafe with Shayne after a few more nights sleeping on the road

9) The drive from Paris down and through the Loire region
10) Chartres cathedral
