UNESCO World Heritage Sites
I've organized a listing of all the U.S. and International World Heritage Sites for the locations we'll likely be traveling.
I'd like us to research and visit as many as we can.
Also want to download their POI's (points of interest- GPS coordinates) to my Garmin Streetpilot. Need to figure that out. I'm sure they are available somewhere.
Here's what we've got for our travels:
