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!

Another vote for Las Vegas, baby! Never been. No desire at all to go.


GoTravel Nov 6th, 2007 11:53 AM

connyankee, why if you've never been there would you refuse to go? Just curious?

beachbum Nov 6th, 2007 11:55 AM

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!

FainaAgain Nov 6th, 2007 12:11 PM

But where else can you visit Sahara, Bellagio and Paris all in one day?

:-p

seasweetie Nov 6th, 2007 12:38 PM

Another Las Vegas vote - but as I'm in the conference biz, I won't be able to avoid it.

And Aspen!

J_Correa Nov 6th, 2007 12:48 PM

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.

Philadelphia...I'd rather spend a weekend in my garage..

P_M Nov 6th, 2007 04:00 PM

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. :-)

Kristinesonja Nov 6th, 2007 04:14 PM

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.
