if someone wanted to visit your area what would you tell them not to miss?

Okay we just moved to San Diego a couple months ago from Florida..but some of the can't misses for me out here would be:

*Balboa Park..we love it!! We just walk around grab a bite to eat and enjoy the scenery. They have the tons of museums and the San Diego Zoo!!
*Seaport Village is fun to get lost in for a little while... they have such fun cute little shops and wonderful food and views!
*5th Avenue and downtown...(we live downtown and love being able to walk to everything!!)
*Seaworld
*and of course Disneyland isn't too far away...a couple of hours I think.. but we haven't traveled outside of San Diego yet!! Can't wait to though!!

Oh and Disneymom2one... I was born and raised in Niceville!! Your list made me miss home so much!!! Seaside is probably my fav. place in the world (besides Disney of course!!!)

I live in Iceland and there are so many places here to visit. If I try to confine myself to the area within a couple of hours drive I wouldn´t want people to miss the Blue Lagoon, www.bluelagoon.is, Gullfoss and Geysir (a huge and beautiful waterfall and geyser), the hot springs in Krísuvík, a hike in the mountains (for example in Esja, which gives you a breathtaking view over the Reykjavik area). I´d also want people to experience riding Icelandic pony´s and if visiting in winter to experience the amazing northern lights.

Here are some pics:
