Once to Aruba was enough (at least Aruba in August) -- a gazillion degrees, humid, and not all that much "culture."

@Mrs. Tricycle: oh, I agree on Aruba!

hmmm... in the states, SD/ND/IA/KS lol sorry

I probably wouldn't excitedly go back to Lima, Peru- but my sister may end up moving there eventually (probably) so I'd go to visit her, my nephew and her husband.

@autumnlove: For me it meant Los Angeles. Just not my kind of city.

Add me to the Aruba naysayers. I forgot how much I wasn't impressed by that island.

@eeh: umm not sure, I don't quite remember. We mostly just drove through it. It was kind of boring, like most of the midwest.

Copenhagen. Sorry to all my Danish neighbors but when I visited it was surprisingly dirty!

@OliviaOblivia: Totally agree with you on Venice. I was just not impressed.

I would also skip The Loire Valley, in France. Did it once, saw the chateaux, don't need to do it again.

And St. Lucia. Maybe it's because our honeymoon was interrupted by a hurricane, but I wasn't really impressed with St. Lucia. The snorkeling was not that great (again, could be because the sea was getting churned up from the approaching storm), the scenery - aside from the view of the Pitons - wasn't any nicer than other Caribbean islands I've been to. I'd rather spend our money going somewhere else, like back to the BVIs.

Bangladesh. Long story.

Mexico! (like many others) - no desire to ever go again.

So surprised about so many not liking Paris or Venice! Although, I went to Venice in the off season, and was in Paris with my husband who lived there for a year and speaks french, so I feel like I had an advantage.

Anywhere on a cruise ship. I had a horrible time on my first cruise and I don't think I will ever do it again. I would much rather fly to the destination. But so far I have loved every country I have visited. DH also feels the same way, everywhere we visit he is convinced we need to move there.

Almost anywhere in the Bahamas. A lot of people rave about the islands, but they just aren't for me. I've been to about 6 different locations on 6 separate occasions and it was always either cold and rainy the entire time or way too hot and filled with really pushy locals trying to sell you things. Also, right outside of the resorts are shanty towns, it's just sad

I agree on Paris. It was fine, but I have no desire to go back. I didn't like how aggressive the men were and I felt unsafe there at night.

Portugal. It was boring as all get out. Not scenic unless you go down to the Algarve which was nicer, but I've been to nicer places.

Internationally, you can add me to the Paris-haters. I wasn't much of a fan.

In the US, I guess Nebraska doesn't hold much appeal for me, lol. I would say NYC, but maybe I'd go back once the kids are older and able to do more stuff. NYC with an infant was fine, but not something I'd like to redo anytime soon.

I haven't traveled much. But I went on a Mexican cruise and I would never go back to Mazatlan. Too humid and hot!

Surprised by all of you who wouldn't go back to Vegas or LA. I guess those are really close destinations to where I live so I go all the time. But I could see if you traveled far to go there, you wouldn't want to go back.

@kml636: agreed. Loved mikonos and santorini, hated Athens.

@oliviaoblivia: we absolutely loved Aruba! Rugged terrain is awesome for atvs, jeeps, etc.... El gaucho was the best steak place I've ever been!

amsterdam

@chopsuey119: which parts? Loved where we went, playa del Carmen....chitchen (sp?) itza was cool too...

We've been all over the world and US, and I would go anywhere again. I love to travel!!

I might avoid Savannah, GA in August and Fiji in it's summer time since I don't do well in the heat and humidity. But for every destination that didn't turn out as we planned, we still made the most of it and had fun getting the heck outta Dodge.
