Simple. Respond to the previous poster, then tell us where you’ve been, with increasing specificity. First one to hit the trifecta shares the win with the previous poster. Try to include a web link with your third item. DopeFests are not eligible!

I’ve been to

1. England
2. Windsor
3. [The Three Tuns](http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=the+three+tuns+market+street+windsor&fb=1&gl=us&hq=the+three+tuns+market+street&hnear=Windsor,+UK&cid=4848980708236580650)

Not sure I understand how to play–and if I do, winning deliberately is gonna be real easy. So lemme try, first the response to you, then a winning try, then a more interesting try:

1. Yep (been to England)
2. Nope (never to Windsor)
3. Nope (never to 3 Turns).

THe winning try:

1. The United States
2. Indianapolis
3. [The Indiana Convention Center](http://www.gencon.com/2011/indy/cs/info/default.aspx)

The interesting try:

1. Norway
2. Rondane National Forest
3. [Rondane Health Spa](http://www.rondane.no/?iLangId=1), honeymoon suite.
