What's one place you have been to which you would never go back to?

Dominican Republic

Busch Gardens, Williamsburg. I found it to be not very efficient in its layout, and (at least on the day we went) a lot of the rides were down. It was difficult to find our way around, and it became a bit of a slog to get through the place. One and done.

Nassau, yuck. I have been to Amsterdam a lot of times but in the off season, loved it.

 

[Cynner]

Kansas and Nebraska - omg so boring.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Athens, Greece. Love the history, otherwise it's gross.

 

[Elle23]

I was going to say Texas but then remembered that I live here.

(I actually like the state itself for the most part. But I absolutely HATE the heat which lasts for way too long. It’s not worth it to be miserable for 4-5 months of the year.)

Jamaica

LOL. I went to College there, as did my son.

I spent 6 months there on a college co-op and lived in an apartment across the street from Delta college. I thought "oh, it can't be that bad" when I moved there - it was worse. High crime, oppressively hot in the summer, smoky when they are burning off the fields, and that scary delta fog in the winter. It's kinda-sorta close-ish to other places that I would go back to in a heartbeat (Santa Cruz, the Bay Area, Yosemite, even South Lake Tahoe) but too far away from those places to even make it a jumping-off point. I'll go to those other places but Stockton? No thank you - never again.

Oh wow. Disagree. BGW is my favorite park outside of Disney. I guess we had wildly different experiences

We had a fine time in France. The only 'bad' encounter I remember was stopping in at a restaurant around 10pm and asking if we could be seated just to have coffee and dessert. You would've thought we asked for their first born.

The response was, "No. Never!!!" And eye daggers that we could even ask such a thing lol.

I had an opposite experience in Paris. We went for dinner really late and my dad asked for French onion soup for dessert, like a weirdo. The waitress was super confused, but asked the kitchen and they did make it for him. Bistrot Richelieu, they were lovely.

What? You never experienced a peat storm? Where the wind kicks up west of Stockton in the Delta and kicks up peat moss dust and blows it into Stockton and almost turns day in to night.

Grand Turks.

The wild donkeys freaked me out.

 

[Moliphino]

Never say never but there are places I don't ever desire to visit again. Barcelona (Spain in general), Mexico in its entirety, Las Vegas and Reno.

Have you been to Andalucia? I am absolutely in love with Seville and would live there if I could. Madrid, on the other hand, I could take or leave. It wasn't awful, just kind of boring.

I really had a hard time thinking of anywhere. But then again my hometown made several people's lists and I love it, and my daughter's college town made even more lists and I love it almost as much (we had a hilarious DIS-inspired "poo hunt" on one of our trips, but came up empty ). So maybe I just have low standards.

There are a few places we've been where I feel like we exhausted what little there is to do and wouldn't have any reason to go back barring some big new development (Marshall, SD was an epic waste of time, and I don't understand why anyone goes to Reno at all) but nowhere that I'd refuse to go back to entirely.

Seattle

The smell of pot and urine is our overriding memory.
That is closely followed by the expletive laden commands from locals to get out of their way whilst walking along the pavement.

I think you are thinking about New Orleans, specifically the French Quarter. Not so much Pot, but Beer, urine and vomit. I would go back again though, in a heart beat. My daughter went to Tulane, in N.O. and had some spotty memories of parents weekend, but she was successful throughout her college career. She wasn't arrested even once.

Downtown Baltimore, especially at night.

So true. The right person makes a world of difference.
