One of my very vivid memories is of spending a night on Marathon Key,Florida....about half way between Miami and Key West.It was a cool,crystal clear January night (cool by *their* standards at least) and the sky was filled with a trillion twinkling stars.Having been a city boy all my life I had never seen anything like it before.

On my bucket list is a visit to the European Southern Observatory in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.They say there are parts of that desert that haven't seen rain in 400 years.Given that it's in the middle of nowhere I'll bet the stars shine pretty brightly over the Atacama.

I spent some time out in the middle of the Arabian peninsula. The stars were amazing. Hope you get Atacama.
