The list ended up being much longer than we had originally realized. There are many “Other Places” that we have been to. We created some criteria for a place to be on this list. 

The criteria to be on the list of Other Places is:

• Revisitablity. We want to go back. The place was so enjoyable that we wanted to go return or wished we could. 
• Affordable. The place was affordable and reasonably priced – or there was a great deal somewhere.
• Value. More importantly than just being “cheap,” the value it added to our life through learning, experience, or memories was worth more than we could ever afford.
• Unique. The place was engaging in some way either by location, visually, or how we related to it.
