Guesses for new set:

I have been to both, of course, and even been up in the St. Louis Arch, which was very, very scary, since my long legs barely fit in the elevator, and I had to hunch down the entire time I was at the top. I will say the great pyramid at Giza, which is right across the street from a bunch of touristy restaurants, one of which we ate lunch at.

Guesses for new set:
91. Probably Nicaragua, have been there once, will never go there again. It was a scary place politically. Our private guide would only tell us certain things inside the bus, and he watched us like a mother hen when we were outside the bus. There were armed, uniformed "officials" of some sort who suddenly decided to have lunch near us in a public plaza.
92. Germany
93. Slinky - our family was able to afford one
94. Mark Twain
95. Jack Webb
96. January
97. the elders
98. St. Louis - meet me in St. Louis, Louis, meet me at the fair. I have been up in the Gateway Arch, another very scary experience. You went in tiny elevators, not sure how many people, maybe just one and maybe four. But because of my long limbs I barely fit in the compartment, and THEN I was too tall for the chamber at the top, so I had to bend over the entire time I was up there, waaaaaaaaaaay up there. Luckily I was an immortal young adult at the time.
99. Patricia Cornwell
100. Epcot - I flew into Orlando several times before Epcot was built. It was a tiny, quaint, small-town airport, where you climbed stairs and walked across the tarmac to enter and exit the plane.
