  1. Mostly E’s and I guess adventurous describes where we have traveled. I like your D suggestions, too.

  2. I’m mostly E with a few B. We’ve been to your B recommendations but none of the E. I hear the food scene in Mexico City is awesome. Maybe I’ll head there. This is a cool idea, by the way.

  3. Fun! I’m mostly D’s and E’s. I’ve checked off several of your suggestions in the D list. Would love to add a few from your E list.

    1. Allison – I’m mostly D’s, which I suppose makes sense since I primarily write about family travel, I suppose!
