Places you would return / One Time Only visits


The "return to NY" post sparked this thought, which I'll share. What places have you visited (not just passed thru) that you would 1)definitely return and 2) don't need to return even though it was a good time.

Was good, don't need to return
1) Statue of Liberty
2) Grand Canyon
3) Baltimore Aquarium
4) Kentucky Horse Park
5) Washington DC (if enough time the 1st time)
6) Gettysburg
7) Universal Studios
8) WDW - MGM
9) Vero Beach
10) Kennedy Space Center (unless there is a liftoff)


Would return
1) Alaska
2) Yellowstone
3) WDW- Kingdom (kid at heart)
4) Beach / shore
5) S. Utah Nat. Parks
6) Most Museums
7) 5th Floor - Dallas (Kennedy Assassination)

Another fun thread idea!

Won't be back:

1. WDW (unless I'm dragged).
2. Cruises (seen one big boat, seem 'em all?).
3. Las Vegas (no longer like to gamble).

Would love to go back:

1. San Francisco (lived there, moved away, miss it).
2. Boston (never really spent any serious time there).
3. Chicago (always on business, so never had time for any fun).

Good topic!

Lovely place, had a good time, but won't be back:

1. Austria (beautiful place, but the people! Not my kind of folks)
2. Yellowstone (beautiful place, but can do without the sulphur smells)
3. Southern California (lived there once, never going back, not even to visit)
