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.

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.

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

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

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’

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.

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.

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.

I found Rome to be congested and dirty, but still well worth the trip. The history was amazing and I saw the Sistine Chapel after the renovation/cleaning. Impossible to describe. A definite must see in person.

Lived in LA since 59 on and off. San Diego now.

It’s a great family destination. Beach, D-Land Universal, Knotts. Down the Fwy world class zoo and Zafari animal Park, Legoland. Did I mention beach. World class and discount shopping. Missions Best theatre outside NYC. Great club and music scene. Architecture, museum including the Getty and Huntington Library. Warm winters usually mild summers near the coast.

I think these lists are meant to get publicity.

I’ve got a friend who, on his last trip to San Antonio, overheard a woman at the Alamo complaining about how disappointed she was that the idiots in San Antonio built the Alamo “downtown”. Hmmm. She must have been one of those Gruber Americans.

Venice is wonderful. Whomever wrote the article did not try very hard.

This is a good list. One place I would go back to (and do often) is the Oregon coast. Summer temps in the 60s, they consider it murderously hot if the temp ever touches 80. Rugged beauty. The people are nice.

Agree with Stonehenge. However Bath is nearby and a great Roman bath ruin. Good day trip from London.
