One more chance to give it your best guess. Tell us where you think Matt will be on the last day of his trip.

If you think you know the country, use your cell phone to text the answer to 46833. Watch the show tomorrow. Matt just may return your call from tomorrow's location.

Note: Standard text messaging rates apply.

Here's the clue for tomorrow:
"To the West, it is 10 degrees colder. To the East, there is warmth in the air. To the North, there's a seat at the table. To the South, there's a formal affair."

I think he is going to Eygpt because of the diplomatic talks going on.

Vickie Charlotte, NC (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:02 AM)

My guess: Matt's going to Jamestown, VA!!! To the West (refering to Seattle) it is 10 degrees cooler. To the East (refering to Dubai) there is warmth in the air. To the North (the Today show in NYC) theres a seat at the table. To the South (the Queens visit) there's a formal affair. -Christina

I think Matt will be in South Africa on Friday. Probably Cape Town as I think the seat at the table is Table Mountain, prominent landmark overlooking the city. The formal affair could be Prince Edward Islands. Hope you get some rest when you return home, don't forget my gift. I liked the earrings that Meridith received today.

Capetown, South Africa; absolutely! -- Table Mountain; PENGUINS (formal)@ Cape of Good Hope. Visit with Mandela? Great wines.

Kerry Perretta, Princeton, NJ (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:21 AM)

Matt will be in Cape Town, South Africa. He will be reporting from the Cape of Good Hope (where the cold waters of the Atlantic from the west meet the warm waters of the Indian ocean from the east) with Table Mountain to the North and penguins kicking it to the south.

I think its Singapore for Matt because all the clues are very formal and just like that part of the world for a final stopover.

Ben, Melbourne, Australia (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:32 AM)

I think he'll be in Argentina, Tierra del Fuego.

miriam neeson (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:33 AM)

Bouvet Island (Norway). Table Mountain in South Africa is North, Antartica's penguins are south. It is the most remote island in the world.

B. Gamble (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:38 AM)

Matt will be in Jamestown,VA for the Kentucky Derby festivities and Queen Elizabeth's Visit.

Alice Bowker, Scituate, MA (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:44 AM)

to the north is table mountain to the south there is the south pole to the west there is the current with winds from the south pole making it 10 degrees cooler to the east there is current from the indian ocean.

"Where in the world"? This should be called What in the world"! What in the world are you thinking? With Americans trying to cut back on the use of oil products your jetting all over the world. Shame on you. When are large corporations going to stop contributing to the problem and start being responsible?

Kathy and Steve Quai, Washoe Valley, NV (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 10:46 AM)

I think Matt will be in South Africa tomorrow, Table Mountain or Tafelberg was the clue for me.

Matts going to Jamestown VA for the formal with the Queen!

john catall, Bessemer, Alabama (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:10 AM)

JAPAN. West is cold North Korea and Mongolia, East is the warm Kuroshio, or Japan, Current, and South, in Beijing, will be the 2008 Summer Olympics. Admittedly, I can't place a "table" in the North, unless some negotiations are taking place in Siberia, or perhaps the "tabletop" of some volconoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula?

Pat Gerhow, Byhalia, MS (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:11 AM)

Capetown, South Africa. I thnk CC and KM nailed the reasoning. I agree.

CK, Morristown, NJ (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:11 AM)

Cape Town, South Africa

Nancy Ledoux, Ridgedale, MO. (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:11 AM)

He is definitely going to the top of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, Scotland. To the west is the Firth of Forth (water) so it is colder, to the north is the table, to the east is the city which is dramatically warmer than the top of the crag, and to the south is the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the residence of the Queen when she is in Scotland.

Emily, Edinburgh, Scotland (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:13 AM)

Cape Town! There actually are penguins on the African continent. Plus the ocean water differences and table mountian...

Jessica, Phila, PA (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:23 AM)

Who cares here he will be but i'm sure hewill have a good time

mark willimas Sheldon Ia (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:30 AM)

Cape Town, South Africa b/c of the Atlantic waters being cooler than the Indian ocean, but both border Cape Town. Table Mtn is the "seat at the table" and the penguins along the Cape of Good Hope are the "formal affair".

Catherine, Atlanta, GA (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:30 AM)

I like Christina's answer!

Dominique, Jackson, MS (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:32 AM)

He'll be here to meet the Queen!!!

Lisa, Valley Stream NY (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:36 AM)

I think Antartica.

Joyce Williams (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:37 AM)

I think B Gamble is right above when he said Bouvet Island (Norway), which is south of Africa. But I don't think seat at the table means table mountain. colder to the West: the cold Benguela current, which sweeps northward along the Atlantic Ocean in the west. To the East: The Indian Ocean's warm Agulhas ocean current, sweeps southward along the African coastline in the east. Seat at the Table to the North: For the first time ever, in 2007/2008, South Africa has a seat at the UN Security Council. And the obious one to the South: Penguins.

David Anolick, Morristown, NJ (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 11:38 AM)

I think Matt will be in Monaco on the fifth day

Derek Lawrence, Cold Spring Harbor, ny (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:21 PM)

Laos. To the west is Myanmar (formerly Burma). 10 degrees colder would make you say "Brrr." To the east is Vietnam where relations are thawing. To the north is China - both a country and a table setting. To the south is Thailand (get it Tie-land).

Michael, Marion, IA (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:28 PM)

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Alena, Abq, NM (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:29 PM)

We feel Matt is going to be in Capetown, South Africa on Friday 5/4. The descriptions of the previous peoples comments seem to fit: the Table Mountains to the north, the penguins or Prince Edward Islands to the south, and the ocean currents to the east and west.

Julie and Jeff, Warwick, RI (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:42 PM)

Argentina!!!

Uthra, Peoria , Il (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:51 PM)

Does it matter? Matt's enough eye-candy to make the dreariest destination look great!!

Anne Baltimore Maryland (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:55 PM)

I think Matt is going to Argentina. Maybe Mar de Plata. It's in the southern part of South America. Has the warm beaches to the east & penguins to the south.

Debbie Jeffers, Ulysses, PA (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:57 PM)

I think South Africa because: West - The Indian Ocean is the warmest ocean. East - The Atlantic to the east is cooler and the cooler winds from the west. North. The seat at the table is Sec. Rice at the regional talks in Cairo. South - the formal atire (tuxedo-like) plummage of the penquins, as well as Prince Edward Island.

Jeannette Blankenship (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 12:57 PM)

I'll bet it's the Azores, either Horta on Faial or Punta de Gada on Sao Miguel.

Rose Miller Arvada, CO. (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:20 PM)

My second guess is Mexico, City!

Rose Miller Arvada, CO. (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:23 PM)

Although my first thought was Argentina (maybe Buenos Aires), I have to agree with Catherine from Atlanta, GA. Cape Town, South Africa sounds like the exact location. Her description was perfect.

Gina Pullano, Bluefield, WV (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:26 PM)

I agree with Christina from Richmond. As a fellow Richmonder, I think Matt will come to Richmond, VA or Jamestown tomorrow since the Queen of England will be here.

Shawnte, Richmond, VA (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:28 PM)

Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Just a guess.

Nancy Rich, Castleton, NY (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:29 PM)

Capetown, South Africa ...for sure!

Mary Edna Dorsey, Bryan, Texas (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:36 PM)

South Pole I guess the formal affair refers to tuxedos (penguins- which are from the South Pole )

Sue Taylor (Sent Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:37 PM)

North has to be new York (home for Matt), South, as Al said, has to be penguins, West would be the ocean and East would be inland. I'm thinking Peru? Possibly some where like Machu Picchu? Indeed it would be a fascinating place to explore!
