Being an engineer, of course I have to do my best to 'plan' this trip out! Part of that is quantifying / organizing the best attractions. I started typing in data to a spreadsheet (some of which shown below) based on Unofficial Guide's ratings. Anybody know where something like this is already complete in some table form???
