Where did you vacation

[low-key]

And you hated it ?

When I was a kid, we were going to California (I loved it) but went far out of the way to see the Grand Cannon, I know its good for a lot of people but not me, I couldnt wait to get to Hollywood and we went hours out of the way to see a hole, I about cried

Petrified Forest.

Went off the highway to see a bunch of nothing.

My parents loved camping on vacation.

Me?

Not so much.

When we took our oldest to the Grand Canyon she was 5. We had been building it up the whole trip, and when we got there and walked to the edge she said, "That's it??!!!" She was not impressed!

My most hated vacation was Cancun. DH and I went there for our honeymoon. The resort sucked and I ended up with a really bad sunburn and the runs.

As a kid we mostly went to WDW and Naples. That was way before Naples is was it is today (early 70's).

As an adult our last vaca was to Tucson this past June. We attended Spacefest, which was incredible. We had beers/drinks with everyone from Michael Collins from Apollo 11, to Jim Lovell from Apollo 13, to dinner with Charlie Duke from Apollo 16. There are more, (Dave Scott, Gene Cernan, Alan Bean, etc..., but I don't want to ramble). Then we get into the Shuttle astronauts...

I haven't been on a vacation in ages (no $$) but I would hate a vacation that involved lying on the beach for hours on end.

I'm trying to figure out a way to take an Alaskan cruise for our 10th anniversary. We're coming up to 2nd so maybe we can afford it by then..

LOL, that must have been how my dad was, he kept saying "It was the only thing he ever saw that took his breath away", and when we seen it everyone thought it was dumb, it went on to be a family joke for as long as my parents lived

My wife and I planned to take you on a whirlwind tour of the States when you delivered little Wilbur, but it appears those plans are on hold.

Wilbur the Moose? Interesting choice for a name but I've never been one for normal. I was just fattening him up for you so your moose burgers would be juicy.

He's all just skin and bones and legs now..

The last vacation I hated was taking my kids camping. It was the worst. I'm in the wood cooking and washing pots in cold water. Then the kids are dropping crumbs everywhere which brought the skunks. My son must have slept weird because his legs fell asleep and he woke us with his screaming because he couldn't feel his legs. I said never again.

I didn't love Corpus Christi

Can't say I've hated anywhere

We took our first cruise and it was to Nassau and I did not care for the port.

Don't you see the snow in that picture? He has to fatten up for winter first. Good things come to those to wait..

Wilbur and I are looking forward to frolicking in the grass and playing all kinds of games. I think Wilbur misses his daddy...

 

[3 MEN AND A BOAT]

We had a cabin up the river, had a boat and planned on fishing. Arrived, checked in, cabin was nice, but the river was cresting over. Not enough to affect the cabin but fish weren't biting. Not a single nibble the entire weekend. We asked other fisherman and they had the same luck. Their we are out in the boonies, no tv, no internet, no cell service, no restaurants/shopping/entertainment for at least an hour drive, and no fish.

I know this will shock and appall the OP , but I truly, madly and deeply HATE Las Vegas. But what do I know I'm also probably the only person in the world that totally disliked St. Lucia.

Skunks? Where I've been camping I'd worry more about crumbs attracting bears. And recently my wife has been showing me reports of how American black bears have attacked people to try to persuade me how dangerous they are. Over the years I've told her they're mostly harmless, and we've seen them while hiking or camping. It's rare, and I haven't denied that it's possible (never been a recorded human death from a black bear attack in California), but considerably less likely than dying from a vehicle collision.

I can't really say I've had a vacation where I hated it. There was always something I liked, even when stuff went wrong like having a taxi driver take us to the middle of nowhere in Bangkok. About the worst might have been being a kid on a long road trip. On one long trip we had a couple of vomiting incidents (I've done that once in my life and not from motion sickness). Once they ran out of room in the car with the other kids, so I rode on a ride from LA to Vegas with only adults as the other passengers. Not only that, but because I was a kid, I had to sit in the center back seat, which was a rock hard lump while the sides were more comfortable bucket seats. On top of that I was feeling nauseous, but as a kid my needs weren't important. However, we did go to Disneyland when we got back to Southern California, which included an epic 5 straight rides on PoTC as well as a concert by New Edition.
