Travel destinations others love but you don't care for

In addition to Vegas and Cancun, I'll add Los Angeles.

the Downtown is dead..

Hollywood is actually pretty disgusting...

The various beaches are okay, but nothing all that memorable...

Pretty much have to drive everywhere...not many places where you could just park your car for a day, feel safe walking around, see some sites, go to a museum, eat at a good local food joint for lunch and dinner, etc, then get in your car and go back to the hotel.

Anyway, I'm sure there are nice parts scattered around the LA area, and obviously there are nice areas to live. But as a tourist, it's not really what I'm looking for.

 

Spain.

It's just kinda meh.

Food isn't spicy

 

I'm not rich by any standards, in fact I'm a broke college student who got to go to Dubai for vacation once and I did not enjoy it.

 

Yeah, but I can drive to Houston for that, minus the gangrape and dysentery.

 

Been to India... Avoid it.


Seriously.

 

San Francisco. Just seemed really meh to me. Nothing real special about it.

Not sure if other people "love it" but Toronto was nothing to write home about either. It was a fun trip because of the people I was with, but I wouldn't go again.

Not sure how many of you have been to the beaches in the Carolinas- but that kind of sucks too. No nightlife, no restaurants, nothing. Just housing developments and a few ****ty beaches. And you have to drive everywhere.

 

The Garden District is beautiful. There is a lot of history and culture there that I enjoy. The food is magnificent, too. The French Quarter gets old, I agree, but there is a lot more to the place.

 

Don't know where you went in Spain, but I was there for a month and it was awesome. Then again, I was with a Spaniard, so I'm sure my experience was different.


Venice is terrible. You can see 90% of it in a day, just a major tourist trap.

Paris smells like piss.

Prague was a disappointment. Maybe because everyone hyped it up over the past decade; I wasn't impressed.

 

Rapists love India.

I do not.

 

thats good we don't want u back :grin::grin:

 

Madrid and Granada. I hear Barcelona and the beaches are better

 

Any vacation that consists of sitting on a beach. There is nothing more boring and wasteful of time and money than "relaxing" on a damn beach.

 

Haha, that was me too as recently as a few years ago, but the wife loves the beach and always drags me along kicking and screaming. Now, I've learned to really love it too. Doesn't get more relaxing than falling asleep to the sound of seagulls and waves. Great way to recharge.

One thing I will not do is lay in the sun and tan. I don't do the beach without an umbrella (and cooler full of assorted alcoholic beverages).

 

Got to add El Salvador in there. Some of the worst food I've ever tried is Salvadorian food

 

I am going to the beach at the Outer Banks next week. Sitting on a reclined chair in the sun, drinking rum, fishing and watching the waves crash and girls walk by when I don't have another worry in the world sounds like my personal heaven. I don't really like most people so things like cruises sound pretty awful. If I get bored I can go fishing, kayaking, get a little drunk, go swimming or hit up some good restaurants or local attractions or activities. It is soothing, like a massage for my mind. Different strokes.



I don't want every vacation to be a beach vacation though. I do want some crazy trips every now and then. I didn't always like beach trips though, when I was younger I always wanted to go "do something" but not anymore.

I can't wait for beach naps. I haven't had a vacation in 3 years.

 

Sedona, Az. The area around it is amazing but the town itself was one of the worst tourist traps I've seen.

I agree with FB about Miami. I liked Little Havana but while the beach was nice at South Beach didn't care much for the scene.

I haven't been as a kid but I have very little interest in going to London.

 

New York City. I have been four times and leave disappointed each time. It's so expensive, the restaurants are overrated, the people are rude, and it takes forever to get anywhere. People talk about how great it is...I just dislike pretty much everything about it.

 

Yeah, I didn't care much for NYC when I was there. But the wife wants to go, so I'll give it another shot.

I can't really think of a place that I just hated though. I'm happy just to be having an adventure with my family or friends most times.
