[quote=Anonymous]I think a PP is accurate when she says it is all about research/expectations. If a friend came back raving about a trip, ask specifically what they liked and then do some research to determine if it matches your interests/needs. So many of these bad trips could’ve been avoided by reading a travel forum like TripAdvisor for 10 minutes. Click the bad reviews first and see if you can overlook those issues or if they are deal breakers for you.

Also, as someone who has traveled extensively since i was a child (I’m in my mid-40s now with my own children), there is a night and day difference between traveling when you are broke vs when you have a lot of money. As a child, if we went to Disney, we stayed in a Days Inn and ate at Shoneys because kids ate free on certain nights. Thus, I hated Disney. Now, very thankfully, our family has the means to stay in 5 star hotels and eat at the best restaurants in the world. Which is not to say you have to spend a fortune to have a nice time - a beautiful sunset is free anywhere in the world! But if you are picking hotels and restaurants based upon cheapness, then yes, they will likely be awful.[/quote]
