New Orleans Jazz Fest kind of sucks at the fairgrounds imo.
Although the weather really wasn't that great when we went and since some of the speakers weren't working we were left even more disappointed.

The food at the jazz-fest that draws some raves wasn't that worthwhile either.

Enjoyed hitting up some of the smaller places in New Orleans during the evening though and always love New Orleans in general.

Have done Mardi Gras in New Orleans several times and that's always fun.
Would very much like to check out Carnival in Rio.

For 12 different trips in 12 months I might throw in a couple of slightly more obscure ones in there such as swinging up to Alaska or Sweden during the best Northern Lights times which I think might be Dec/Jan.
I've been to Alaska at I think it was in Feb but the lights were only so-so when I was there.

Would have to think more on this to come up with 12.
