North American Cities to Visit - The result

This is the result of the bloggers advice on which cities I should visit (New York, Chicago, Memphis, Nashville & St Louis were excluded from this as I have already visited them cities).

1. Boston - 19 points
2. Washington - 12
3. Seattle - 11
4. Philadelphia - 10
5. Atlanta - 9
6. Denver - 8
7. Vancouver - 6
8= Toronto - 5
Fort worth - 5
Portland - 5

Other suggestions were - Victoria (4pts), Kansas City, Orlando, San Francisco, Key west (3pts),
Cape Cod, Montreal, Sante Fe, Whistler (2pts) & Savanah, Ottawa (1pt).

I will consider (and read up) all these suggestions and certainly be visiting many of them. I was surprised some of the cities that are excluded that I have been considering in the past (New Orleans, Austin, L.A., Vegas, etc.).

Thanks to everyone that made suggestions, I appreciate it. Also welcome to all new bloggers that posted comments.

To answer questions,

Dcnats,
Your correct about considering Mexico and I will in future, I just have planned US & Canada over the next couple of years. There is also a lot of South America I want to see in future years.

Sonrisa,
I have visited Chicago in summer I was in the city last year during the "Taste of Chicago". I was also there in October, December & April so I have seen all the seasons (Hot & Cold). I will be back on my way home from St Louis on July 2nd for 8 nights, I love your City.

Rachel,
Don't know about the Staffordshire Potteries (wrong side of the hills) but I will ask around.

Boston #1! Yep, kick ass.

Mick,
Got a question for you. A discussion of a couple of british slang terms came up recently. At least, they are words that are presented in the US as british slang. I have no idea if they are actually used by brits so I decided it was time to play "Ask a Brit"!

Term 1: Wanker. What does it mean specifically? Any ideas when it came into use? How bad a term is it? Is it a noun? Is "Wank" a verb?
Term 2: Ponce (sp?). Same questions (except for the last one).

Thanks!

Pfg,
Yes Boston won with ease even without your vote. I will definately be visiting at some stage (depends when I can get a good flight/hotel deal).

1. A "Wank" is a word used for male masterbation. Calling someone a "Wanker" is used as an insult.

2. a "Ponce" would probably be used to describe a Gay male.

Ok, So I win, at least on the former. A friend and I had a small debate about the parts of speech with me saying verb and noun and him saying both were nouns. Ponce came along for the ride. So it's like "priss" here?

Thanks!!!!

pfg,
I should of added a "Ponce" is also used to describe a man that lives off the imoral earnings of a woman(A prostitutes Pimp).
