Guesses for new set:
21. Valley of the Kings, have been there, vaguely remember going the closed entrance to King Tut's tomb. What I remember most was a local man who was trying to pass himself off as a "free" tour guide in one of the tombs, and Bigdog kept acting like it wasn't a scam and we had traveled enough in the world by then for me, at least, to recognize a really hard, and perhaps scary, shakedown would come at the end.
22. King Neptune, I first met him in 1955 when our family emigrated by ocean liner to Australia.
23. I want to say Mount Rushmore, not sure I have ever seen the movie, but Bigdog has watched it probably 30 times, so I know some things about it.
24. Madrid
25. I always get this one wrong, but I think the answer is probably Sicily.
26. WAs going to say Queen Elizabeth, but I think that was first woman on the cover. Let's go with Sally Ride.
27. sonar
28. Casava/Casaba depending on your Spanish accent
29. blue
30. Heart of Gold

Good afternoon and happy Monday! I am better today, thanks so much for all the thoughts. I was around to much hay at the pumpkin patch and could not breathe very well. It wiped me out! Still a bit fuzzy headed today so hopefully I don't screw up too much.
