Double Itinerary

[swestrup]

Some day, I want to visit all the places that have names that are repeated. So far, all I have thought of are:

• Pago Pago
• Bora Bora
• New York, New York

Does anyone know of any others?

Quebec, Quebec?

[swestrup]

I guess so. Then again, I've BEEN there already!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_grey_knight/]

So, at least you can say you have actually started the project, then, and are on the path to completing one of your life's goals.... (hey, glass half full, half empty, or simply the wrong size?)

Wawa (Ontario, near lake Superior)
Walla Walla (Washington)
Wap-wap (Atoll, in the mid-Pacific)

[thebabynancy.livejournal.com]

does Wawa count? I mean it's not 2 separate words... nor hyphenated.

[swestrup]

Nah, that totally doesn't count.

[grimmwire.livejournal.com]

But if you don't go to Wawa, you won't see the giant Canada Goose!

[thebabynancy.livejournal.com]

I've seen the Giant Nickle in Sudbury... does that county?

Mexico, Mexico (Hey, it's really NYC, NY, right? so does this qualify?)

[thebabynancy.livejournal.com]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_grey_knight/]

And those people are in their own little world... LOL!!

[thebabynancy.livejournal.com]

There's also Bella Bella in BC.

Its strange that I had never heard of Bella Bella, although I'm quite familiar with Bella Coola.

And if "Wawa" is out, then "Kwekwe" is no good either. :(

Kwekwe I'll take, since its also known as Kwe kwe.

I believe rezendi has actually been to Kwe kwe, last fall.
