Where did you absolutely hate?

Dubai. 16 hour plane ride for basically a big shopping center. Hotel was nice, the workers are all very kind and solicitous (for depressing reasons). Also a ton of obvious sex trafficking which is probably why I ran into Andrew Tate multiple times.

Too Trumpy!! NC is now a cesspool because they are all so MAGA. It has not served them well. It's so depressing.

Asheville is very, very, liberal. No clue where you were, but it wasn’t Asheville

The other confusing thing about that post is the implication that NC is “now” or has recently become conservative. Jesse Helms was a pig they voted into the senate over and over. So— not sure what that person is talking about.

Also—
I think when people say they like Asheville, they don’t mean the stinky downtown parts. No, don’t go there. But many parts of Asheville and the surrounding area are lovely. Yes, go there.

Tell us more about the safari… did you go mid-range (which is still thousands and thousands vs $20K+, so it’s all relative). What country?

Yeah, this is wild to me -- our safari was the trip of a lifetime and we loved it all. It cost us $$$$$$ though.

The first quote I got was for $50,000. Eventually we found a tour guide that charged $15,000. It was an amazing trip.

San Fran. It's sad what happened to that city...I question if it can ever recover.

Serious question... how? We lived there for 3 years...in very nice high rise. My car was broken into multiple times. My family including my kids were grabbed and yelled at frequently by homeless. The streets were absolutely disgusting.

We were supposed to be there for 5 but after 3 year miserable, stressful years, we left.

Tokyo isn't crowded if you know how to find the peace the city. (Being totally serious - lived there and travel there often).

Pro tip - go off the beaten paths. Turn a corner and there is a beautiful park or alleyway with no people.

Same. The beach and water were lovely but that was it. I would have rather been on a cruise ship and had yummy food.

Agree on Houston and San Francisco

Agree Barcelona is over hyped but I didn't hate it.

I’m not the pp. I loved the safari I went on in Kenya and Tanzania, and it was very budget-friendly. The lodges were fine. Our guide was excellent. The people in our group of 8 were wonderful. Then I met up with a friend at a very nice lodge in Kenya (from which most people were headed out on an expensive safari) for 2 nights and I was miserable. Other guests were crazy rude—got in fights with each other. There was a group of Chinese tourists, and Australian and German tourists used racial epithets. Every person working there was constantly trying to upsell us on every single thing. And for the money this place cost, nothing was really that nice. It was miserable. I’d hired one of the drivers from my first, cheap safari to pick me up from this place and take me to the airport and I’ve never been so happy to see anyone. So, it’s not all about money you spend.

Weird. Sounds janky. Never heard of upselling at a reputable luxury lodge and I’ve been to multiple Botswana, Rwanda, and South Africa luxury lodges (Londolozi, Wilderness, Great Plains, etc).

+2. I've had to go for work and can't believe anyone pays money to go there for fun. It's so gross.
