Which tourist site have you visited that really lived up to the hype and blew your mind with how amazing or beautiful it was?
For me it has to be the Iguassu Falls on the Brazil/Argentine border. Truly stunning.

I envy many of your travels more than you would believe… but the one place that brought tears to my eyes was, believe it or not, the Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida. All my childhood dreams, standing in front of me… (oh, darn, my eyes are sweating thinking about it…).
The Special Access visit at StoneHenge (book through English Heritage), as Cindy said (#9, above), is absolutely awesome, too. Did that in 2001, just before the world changed.
And I have never heard silence like the windless day in Joshua Tree National Forest (middle of the Mojave desert, the day I was there, it rained… such is my luck).
