I could spend all summer, every summer in Michigan’s upper Peninsula and do it at a fraction of the cost of globetrotting.

Jamaica should be on the list. One step off any resort is squalor.

[Cowboy Bob]

These people would rate Universal City, Great Adventure, and Disney World as the BEST. They don't consider culture and history to be tourist-worthy.

[Bettyprob]

Jamaica should be on the list.

It is; #7.

A summer on the waters of Southeast Alaska with at least a 38 foot boat. Pure Heaven on Earth. Period.

[Gay State Conservative]

My biggest disappointment was India.Mainly because of the poverty....it literally overwhelmed me from the moment I stepped off the plane.

[edpc]

I tried to read the source link, but it was a mess on my browser. I’m not surprised it made the list.

[AlaskaErik]

Sad, but true. I've been to over 40 countries and very few places stand out. As a former Marine, going to Iwo Jima and being on top of Mount Suribachi will always stand out as one of my most memorable experiences. Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef also stands out.

The rest of the list. See the site for details.

4. Paris: ‘Worst city on earth’
5. Venice: ‘A gigantic tourist trap’
6. Dubai: ‘Smoke and mirrors’
7. Jamaica: ‘I will never go back’
8. Bali: ‘Every beach sucks’

Give me wilderness or I may as well stay home.

I’d like to see Iceland, Siberia, the Australian outback, New Zealand, those kinds of places.

[Politicalkiddo]

Probably, although LA is admittedly a dump. I would love to go to Egypt and Stonehenge...and even Venice.

[NorthMountain]

Los Angeles is a cesspool ... and it's in Kalifornia. Lots of places near LA that are worth the time to visit, if you have to be there.

Stonehenge, and surrounding area, was fascinating.

Can't speak to the Pyramids, or to Paris.

[Organic Panic]

Zucotti Park. I heard it was the center of free thinking progress. But it turned out to be infested with smelly vermin who never showered and didn’t know how to use a toilet.

[Red in Blue PA]

Nepal- as close to heaven as you can get. Literally.

[Isabel2010]

My vote goes for Gettysburg, Pa. Lovely place with interesting history~~part of America’s story.
Plus, if your into hauntings~~~you got that too!

[JRandomFreeper]

Almost any deployment.

Instead of going to those henges they should visit Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska!

Vegas sucks. I went there on business once for a conference. The only way I’m going back is if I have a nuke in the trunk of my car.

We stayed at the Luxor because they had $50 rooms. I knew it was a mistake the second I walked in. The place stank like the ashtray of a 30 year old taxi. I had to wait in line for an hour and a half to check in. I would’ve canceled and went somewhere else but in Vegas, your credit card gets billed the second you hit the send button for a reservation and it’s non-refundable.

There’s two Vegas’s. The 1%-ers get the special restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and everything else that have no waiting, a dozen people in the place, and an over-manned staff that waits on them hand and foot. The rest of us are livestock.

Due to the numerous complaints, our conference was in Vegas once and it’s never going back. Thanks for the education. Screw you, Vegas.

Most places in CA aren’t what they are cracked up to be. San Francisco isn’t that great. There are some good places to eat and the Golden Gate and Alcatraz are nice, but otherwise it’s not that great of a place.
