Florence: The most amazing sense of history anywhere, the most beautiful architecture and art in the world, and a lively city even today. I could spend a lifetime there
 
Madrid: Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful, metropolitan. It's stunning during Christmastime
 
Seattle: Big city attraction, small city attitude. Plus it's beautiful, and I love the weather
 
Paris: It's just beautiful, there's little better than having a meal at a sidewalk cafe.
 
New York: The sites, the sounds, the culture, and the 
food!
 
London: The theater alone is enough of a draw.
 
San Francisco: Like Seattle, it's got all the plusses of a metropolitan city, but the people have a small town attitude.
 
That's more or less in order of preference, with the top few being more of a solid order than the last few. Of the places I've been, Florence wins, hands down.
