places you refuse to go to
everyone is always talking about where they have been and where they would like to go to.
is there anyplace you have been to that you wouldnt go back to?, or a place you have never been to, and simply refuse to travel to? |
I don't like to go back to the same place simply because I don't have time and finances for that. The new places are always calling my name :))
|
I would never return to Rosarita Beach - hated it. That's it -- never been anyplace else I can think of that I wouldn't go back to if I had unlimited travel time.
|
Disney World. Never never never again.
We never go back to same place because like FainaAgain said, New places are always calling. Too many places to see and experience, not enough time of money. |
Another vote "for" Rosarita Beach. We drove down for half a day to visit friends who had a timeshare there. That was half a day too long!
|
Where is Rosarita Beach?
|
Refuse is a little strong, but I definitely would try to avoid any destination where I am likely to get sick from the water or food.
One exception--Egypt. |
Mexico.

The Jersey shore. I'd rather spend the weekend in my basement.
|
Las Vegas. I have absolutely no desire to go there - too busy, I don't like gambling, and I'm not a night person. No thanks!
|
Cabo San Lucas. I would go back if we could return to the dusty little village we went to in 1979, but wouldn't go there now.
|
Las Vegas. It holds no appeal to me. And I hate gambling.
|
Seaside, Oregon and Las Vegas. If I am lucky I will not have to return to either one in this lifetime:D
|
mms: What didn't you like about seaside Oregon? I've never been but I'm curious.
|
Is this question limited to the United States? Or the entire world?
|
I have been to Las Vegas once - never again!
|
Wisconsin Dells! Seedy and cheesy.
|
East Berlin....well, I guess that doesn't matter anymore...
|
I really didn't like Nassau in the Bahamas. The beaches were beautiful, but the town was definitely lacking . . .
Pugsly: I am curious what part of the Jersey Shore you hated. There are over 100 miles of beaches and some areas are really beautiful. Cape May has a beautiful beach and it's a lovely, quaint town. I spent many summers down at the NJ shore and love it. Yes, there are some towns I would stay away from - but the majority of the coastline is beautiful. |
sera--IMO, it is the tackiest place on earth. It is a carnival atmosphere, but not in a good way at all. I am so thankful that even our teens don't care for it.
|
I actually like Rosarito Beach although I haven't been there for a few years. Its a day trip for me so that's OK. Probably wouldn't enjoy it as much if I stayed a whole weekend.
Not a huge fan of Las Vegas. I go there quite a bit for conventions and work but would never spend my own money to go there. I am going again first of Dec and am dreading it. The only good thing for me is that I get a some nice meals on my company. I try not to go back to places because as Faina said-time and money is too short. But I would go back to Paris in a heartbeat. |
What/where is "sera" (in case I want to avoid going there :))
|
dmlove--LOL! I just saw that!
|
Philly on a weekend two feet of snow fell.
Otherwise I'd go back in a heartbeat. |
I hate Vegas but as it appears to be the "conference capital of the US" I'm sure I'll be back there for yet another conference some time within the next few years. Otherwise I would refuse to visit because I find it utterly tacky.
I usually try to avoid most of Florida too. Not to offend anyone, but beaches and crowds just aren't my thing, and Florida seems to have both in abundance. With that being said, I wouldn't mind visiting more historical places such as St. Augustine. I won't be going back to Florence anytime soon, as I found it extremely crowded and claustrophobic. Its a beautiful city but when I'm back in Italy I will be elsewhere! Otherwise I love to visit new places and will try just about anything once. Well, except maybe Disney World! Tracy |
Another vote for Las Vegas, baby! Never been. No desire at all to go.
|
connyankee, why if you've never been there would you refuse to go? Just curious?
|
Shouldn't that be, "What/where is 'syrah' (in case I want to avoid going there)?"
Well, I never want to go back to that flop house in Frankfurt.... Or that "pension" in Amsterdam (except for the look on MIL's face when she saw her room. Priceless). But otherwise, I can't think of any place I'd refuse to go or return to. Welllll....... maybe Fresno. |
Las Vegas and Disney are on my short list of "Never have, never will."
I can think of several places I wouldn't bother returning to since, as pointed out above, life is short and the world is large. |
After posting, I noticed that the bottom of the page is taken up with an animated ad for travel to Vegas!
|
But where else can you visit Sahara, Bellagio and Paris all in one day?
:-p |
Another Las Vegas vote - but as I'm in the conference biz, I won't be able to avoid it.
And Aspen! |
I would probably go out of my way to avoid Nashville. I really do not like country music, so being that it is the country music capital, I figure it is best to stay away - LOL.
|
I have no desire to visit Texas.
|
buffalo in feb.
|
Ronda, Spain.
|
The bottom of a well.
|
Philadelphia...I'd rather spend a weekend in my garage..
|
iamq, have you ever been to Austin? It's really quite different from the rest of TX and I think you would like it. Give it a try sometime, I'll play tour guide. :-)
|
I found no reason to rush back to Italy. We visited Florence, Venice, Stessa and Rome.
I agree, way too many new places on my list to explore. |
