Bucket List Review

As I was creating my Bucket List I looked up various places that people considered must sees and was happy to find I've been to a lot of them.  I also explored my memory banks of places I've been to and was happy to add things to this completed bucket list.  It was a nice trip down memory lane thinking about all the places I have been and not realizing that some people thought these were must sees because some I took forgranted, like the Golden Gate Bridge.
  1. CA:  SF (Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Cliff House:  Musse Mecanique, North Beach:  Italian dinner, Vesuvios for a drink &amp Beach Blanket Babalyon, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Pier 39, cable car ride, drive down Lombard Street, Giants game at AT&T Park, Painted Ladies at Alamo Square, Coit Tower); Disneyland, Napa Valley, Carmel (17 mile drive, breakfast at Katy's, window shopping and sunset over the ocean), San Jose (Winchester Mystery House), Yosemite,
