The Taj Mahal
I'd never want to put myself in the way of a man (or woman) and his dream. But the Taj Mahal as vastly, sorely, completely over-rated. The beauty and craftsmanship that you experience at the Taj Mahal is completely overshadowed during the 1.5 - 2 hour drive to get there. It seems the roads leading to TM is the lined absolute poorest people in the world.
As for the Bucket List:
* Make a trans-Atlantic crossing in a sailboat/catamaran with my family.
* Travel through the Panama Canal with same sailboat.
* Sail from Panama to French Polynesia, down to NZ, Australia... and then ultimately sell the boat after a year or two of sailing around the world.

Poor people aren't a good reason to miss out on seeing a site. If anything it should serve as a reminder to how lucky we are to be born in the US.

I've worked in Pakistan several times and know what you are talking about. It's not just the Taj, I want to get a feel for India, the good and the bad. If the trip works out I'll be on the road a good bit (maybe a couple of train legs) but will spend more time in wildlife preserves and the Himalayas than in the cities.

Yep they can keep India no desire to go there. I want to head more over into the south pacific went to Hawaii bit want head more west. Australia and New Zealand is on my list but I will need at least two due to the travel to get there.
