I would love to see the survey. Not that I don't believe Carmen. I would like to see how it was done, where the information came from, and why the conclusions were as reported. Location might not be the only factor.

Me, I prefer to go to somewhere new, see new scenery enroute and experience new restaurants etc. What say you all? I know Paula feels the same (who is no longer on this list) about diversity.
