#166 Stay at the World’s Fanciest Five-star hotel

Colleen Not done, Odds N' Ends, Once in your life Not done, Odds N' Ends, Once in 0

This list item is a little vague in that there are many five-star resorts around the world, and which one is the fanciest is subjective at best. What’s the nicest resort you’ve ever stayed at? Was it considered one of the world’s best? Was it a special occasion?

Being a fan of food, it makes sense that eating a meal prepared by a true master chef would make Nina’s List, but sadly it was still in the “not done” category. Have you ever had a meal created by a world-famous chef? What was the occasion? Did it live up to the hype?

This item was a little vague, but according to Wikipedia, the first public museums were called the Capitoline Museums, outside of Rome, Italy, and begun in 1536. Have you ever been there?

The oldest museum in our relatively young country is the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut, founded in 1842.

We’re not really sure what an “Elvis-style” vacation entails, but this one didn’t get checked off Nina’s List. Have you ever gone to Memphis and done the tourist thing, visiting Graceland and the museums? What was your favorite part?

Running with the bulls in Spain was on Nina’s list, but she didn’t get the opportunity to go. Have you ever done it? What do you think about it?
