[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a lot of PPs are just getting older, more set in their ways, and less tolerant of deviations to their set routine. The concept of travel wasn’t magically better when you were in your 20s, you were just more open to new experiences and less curmudgeonly.[/quote]

It was better.  We weren't herded around and processed, we didn't have to prebook fastpasses or time slots for the top tourist sites, and we weren't glued to smart phones.

I was backpacking around when many Eastern European citizens were prevented from traveling by their governments and citizens of many developing countries couldn't afford to travel. The fact of the matter is that the number of tourists was smaller.

Now places like Amsterdam, Venice and parts of France are trying to work out how to limit tourist numbers because the cities can't cope. That's nothing to do with being curmudgeonly.

Ok. You have my blessing to stay home and complain. Feel better?[/quote]
