For all of the history - Beijing.

To live - probably Boston. Love that city.

Paris - and not just because the French told W to go f*ck himself. Though that did make me love them all the more.

New York. Trite, I know, but all of my favorite memories are from there. You can't beat it. Or maybe I just need to go more places...

I love 3 cities for all different reasons...

chicago: it's my home town...and most of my family is here.

Los Angeles: My cousins live there and everytime I visit, I have an AWESOME time there and I always feel really depressed when I leave because I want to go back that instant.

new york: well...cause it's new york! every time I've driven through the Lincoln Tunnel into Time Square, I've always felt very giddy!

I left my heart in San Francisco a LONG time ago... so some fondness there, too!

And, Elphaba - that's a great city to share with someone! (I'm heading to Rome next week... another one of your favorites, I think.)


I would also put St. Petersburg on my list. Spectacular city!

I was born in Kansas City, so have to name it - and it surprises many people.

Denver - friendliest.

Seattle - cleanest.

NYC - most exciting.

San Francisco - most intriguing.

Los Angeles - my adopted home - and willingly so.

New Orleans - most decadent.

Washington, DC - best museums, and can't escape the sense of importance.

Costa Rica was just AMAZING for me. I had never been that relaxed and carefree in my life. There was so much freedom and the entire experience was just unforgettable. I stayed at a hotel on Playa Tambor.

Rome and Florence were both astounding. I do wish I could return, and I regret to say that I completely took my trip there for granted as I was extremely young and could not understand exactly where I was.

And of course. New York. Second time around.
