[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was underwhelmed by:
Nashville 
Mystic, CT
Cape Cod
San Diego
Florence
Dublin (but loved the rest of Ireland)
Key West
Atlantis [/quote]

Can you tell me what underwhelmed you about San Diego? So many friends have recommended I visit there, but when I look at pictures and videos, I just don't see what all the hype is about. Nice looking place but seems boring as hell for a vacation.[/quote]

I'm from San Diego, and I kind of get this.  It really depends on what you're looking for in a vacation.  During the summer, the weather is usually nice, the beaches are great, it's a really family-friendly city (zoo, beaches, Old Town, Mission & Pacific Beaches, Balboa Park, La Jolla, LegoLand), and it has lots of good food options.  If that's what you're looking for, it can be a good experience.  Other times of the year, the water is cold, it can be gray (the infamous "June gloom", which is prevalent much of the year - I even experienced it in August last year), and the slow, informal CA pace isn't for everyone. It's not a place to go to if you like strolling urban historic sites (though if you want culture, the museums in Balboa Park should be on your list).  But if you're looking for a summer spot with kids, and just want to relax, it can be great.
