It looks like that's just 13 out of 101. But I mean I have seen the moon, I just have not been at it. It does say "to see before you die". What do you think?

I personally do not agree with whoever came up with this list, I believe that I have seen better places than the ones on this list that are not even on the list. I guess this person came up with these places before discovering many other places. Which leads to my question, where have you been to that's so breathtaking that should be on this list?
