But we do have the most hotties, at least according to a poll of British travelers that was linked on Instapundit.

India was eighth, France ninth, and Canada finished off the top 10. ...A spokeswoman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the study, said: ''America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet.
