    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                      .                  .                  .
