[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Costa Rica: felt like a cash cow, got robbed, much of the development looked like Atlantic City, food was OK.

Maine: I dreamed of Maine, but it’s not my cup of tea.

Verona: touristy and just OK

Loved:

Various places in Mexico (so much culture, so much beauty, so much everything), [b]Paris (but had to live there to fall in love)[/b], Venice (a local guide took us away from the touristy paths), Various places in Greece (again, visited with a local who advised us on where to go). [/quote]

That's how I feel about Paris. It left me cold when I first visited in Middle School. I probably did have those "Paris goggles" on, but I lived there 3 separate times afterwards and though I've lived in about 20 other countries, just LOVED my times in Paris. I would move back in a heartbeat now.

I am from NYC, however, so for the person disillusioned that it was a French version of NY, I can't say I disagree. I would say major metropolitan hubs might not be your jam if you can't find the charm in either. I would not compare NYC or Paris to some of these other more "vacation destination" places. [/quote]
