Hawaii and London

I just remembered another: Las Vegas. Totally not my thing.

Re: where is one place that you have no desire to travel to although

the ONLY place in the world I could NEVER step foot in again and be happy is

DisneyWorld.

I'd go anywhere...truly ANYWHERE (though I have a list of priorities) but ugh...I effing HATE DisneyWorld.

If I have to take my kids...we go to DisneyLAND (slightly less offensive)

I am praying that my kids turn out like my niece...4 times my sister has gone to florida attempting to bring her, and every time she'd rather stay at the hotel and swim.

I heart her so much. Chat Icon

Another anti-Disney person here. Went a bunch of times as a kid and once as an adult. I really don't see the appeal. I asked my mom if she'd take my future children and she said she'd be happy toChat Icon

Its probably a North South thing seeing as I live in the North and really relate to being a Northerner, but its just a tough city. I have lived there on two occasions, once with my husband and once when I did the Bunac programme, I had to leave after about 4 months...Its so crowded (10 times more crowded than NYC) Its over run with tourists (10 times more than NYC) its dirty (10 times more than NYC) If you have a stroller or you are in a wheelchair, god help you, there are no facilities for you. I went down to London a few weeks ago and even my friend, who always claimed to be a die hard Londoner can not wait to move out of there...

I know people LOVE London, but its just not my favorite place.

thanks

Re: where is one place that you have no desire to travel to although

It's hard to say I have no desire to travel somewhere I've never been to - I'd pretty much go anywhere. I dont think Saudi Arabia is at the top of my list, after I found out during the opening ceremonies that women can't play professional sports, or drive a car alone. . . but at the same time - I'd still like to check it out.

I really dont have any desire to go back to Disney.

Don't have the desire to go to a "beach" vacation. Don't like just sitting doing nothing.

Honestly, I would never really travel outside of the US/Caribbean except for Italy. I have no desire to see other places and I only love Italy because my family is there.




Tilde, i have a question for you? why do you have no desire to see the rest of the world? Yes, I know there is so much to see in the US, but to experience other cultures, food, history... as someone that has traveled through Italy, I am surprised that you have no desire to see the rest of Europe or other continents. Just curious: why do you feel that way?

Italy...my sister went once and hated it, she said it was dirty and the men were very offensive....she's traveled all over the world and that is the only place she has ever complained about.

Really? I am surprised. What part of Italy? The country and its people are very different. There are huge cultural differences within the regions.

all over, she was there for a month
(between school semesters, she did not want to come home for Christmas)

she hit Sicily, Rome, Venice...her and her friends went town to town on trains staying in hostels.

She was really surprised, she lives to travel and this was a huge letdown...

i'msurprised as well, but then again she did hit all the touristy spots. Sicily is known for its crime (has a huge poverty rate) and culturally is not like the rest of Italy. Rome is one of the most congested cities in Europe with a high crime rate and Venice is a tourist trap, so it doesn't surprise me that she ran into some difficulty in these places.

I wish I could take her to the part of Italy where my FIL is from and we have a house there. You would never meet nicer people.

It's hard to think of anywhere I would not want to travel. Maybe India.

Can't believe people said Paris, it's an amazing city!
