That's a really excellent list. I might amend it slightly from an American perspective? I would suggest the Grand Tetons over Yellowstone and the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tuscon or the Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona as superb desert spots over anything in Nevada. I don't care for Washington, D.C. much either, but art buffs would certainly appreciate the National Gallery and might make that a destination. I appreciate the reason for visiting Chicago and add a recommendation to take an architetural boat tour on the River. Of course, Alaska and Hawaii might make some lists given time and resources.
