Oh, not “they” pretty much, but “that pretty much…”. Oops. 
I live on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Very cool to see my hometown on a list like this. 
oh man no korea?
yay, Chicago!
Man, what I wouldn’t give to be at any ONE of those islands right now, instead of at the office. Blah.
K, I hear that and I raise you 10.
miss poppy: THAT’S WHAT I SAID TOO! focked up shit man!
Woo hoo.. go San Francisco!
Ummm … well, Australia (technically) is an island, and would defiatley be rated higher that Tasmania! I can’t really believe that Tasmania is in the Top 10 Islands over all??
It’s beautiful yes, but not you’re typical “I want an Island holiday” destination.
WooHoo.. I’m from Indonesia and bringing my boo back home to BALI and Bangkok for our honeymoon …all listed there! Yeah can’t wait!!! =D
My fiance thinks it’s weird why Beirut would be in the Top 10 City Overall list by “Travel & Leisure” Magz when there is all that going on right now. Yeah…
I didn’t like Bali that much except the cheap spa and nice villa. I think Phucket has nicer beaches, and more fun things to do. Btw, GO SF!
J: I’m sure the survey for this list was conducted before the war even broke out.
Yeah..that makes sense~

YAY for San Francisco! Twice!
I vacationed in Phuket long ago, when I was in 6th grade. The vacation was awesome… had sooo much fun, UNTIL I GOT STUNG BY A FREAKIN’ JELLYFISH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT! It was one of the most painful experience ever! My entire leg swelled up and turned purple. *shudder* No we did not pee on my leg. lol. But yeah they pretty much kept me out of the water for the rest of the trip.
