I really wasnt impressed with Paris, France

I found it pretty boring but somehow.... lots of people like it and I dont see the appeal

Honorable mention: Hawaii. Didnt like it much either.

Came in to say Paris as well. Mostly dirty city with a lot of homeless and beggars.

I was only a teen at the time though so might be better at exploring a city these days.

Miami. I mean it was alright I guess but nothing terribly special. And the humid heat just made it all worse. Also the drivers there are assholes. I thought San Francisco was bad but thats a cake walk compared to Florida.

I lived in Florida for a short time and I can confirm this. Florida drivers are THE WORST!

I got rear ended my first night living there

I can't say I've hated anywhere I've been. Sure not everywhere has been the Bude Tunnel, nor could they ever be, but most places have been decent to good.

London was way too crowded and big, so id say there.

Disney World.

I mean nothing against it if you've got kids, but as someone who doesn't have kids i'd much rather go to a different amusement park.

I'll second Disney World but my now wife and I only went to Magic Kingdom. Fun for the kids but not for two late 20-somethings.

Boy I'll never forget that 3-hour wait for Space Mountain

I thought Paris was great. You got museums like the Louvre and Centre Pompidou, cool architecture, Champs Elysee, and the Eiffel Towel is awesome looking at it from the ground. Going up is lame though.

I may be biased since I took 3 years of French, and looked forward to seeing these places though.

Lancaster County.

It's not the most hyped place, but the fact that it has literally any hype at all is far, far too much.

I've never been to any real tourist destinations, but since some people consider Reno a vacation spot I'll say that. The city is an above ground sewer, dirty in every way.

It's no secret why people there are so hostile, the scenery is just depressing and mood killing. Same with Chicago and Boston.

NYC

"City that never sleeps" my ass. I was leaving time square to head back to my hotel in Queens around 1am and everything was closed except MCDs.

I had to piss so bad but they said customers only, so I found and alley to piss in because their line was to the door.

This was in 03' so atleast the people weren't too bad.

To be totally fair I was there in the middle of summer so I wasn't even able to get into the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower had beggars everywhere. Also we stayed in a cheap hotel near the major train station which wasn't a particularly nice area.

I think I'd probably enjoy it now since I have more experience travelling and mobile internet is more accessible than it was in 09.

Maui

Very overcrowded and a tourist trap. Locals hate you. Food is meh and overpriced. Everything closes so early. We drove up the road to Hana and it was just bumper to bumper the whole way.

We much preferred Waikiki and Kaui to Maui. Waikiki has much better food and nightlife. Kaui was nicer and less touristy.

Fiji. Place sucked. No forests or anything; everything just ripped down and replaced with sugar cane fields. Also they have "cultural stealing" (i.e. if someone is better off than you, it's okay to steal from them). Literally had to buy my own sunglasses back off of a hotel worker for $12 (plus they took money and meds from our room).

Place is a hole.

Can't really think of anywhere that didn't meet or exceed my expectations. Haven't been able to do a lot of traveling.

NYC kind of sucks. It was winter and I hate crowds. Was there for 4 days about 7 years ago.

I had to spend a day and night in Maimi, and it was one of the few citys I felt generally unsafe at even during the day. And especially at night.

And I grew up in Flint, MI of all places. Salt Lake citys downtown gave me a similar vibe, although only at night.

Yeah if you want the Hawaii experience, go to Oahu. Waikiki and Ala Moana are basically all the tourists come here for. All the other islands are kinda ghetto. I mean in some places they still need to catch rain water :<
