Nor do I care for major tourist destinations on a busy day, like walking around in lines at Versailles - no thanks. I still take some for the family, but a vacation to me gets us as far away from crowds as we can, like cat or heli skiing, hiking in remote places, snorkeling or diving, but staying in a beach house, not a hotel. Even loved a recent cross-country skiing trip we did through Yellowstone - yes, we were in a hotel, but it was quiet and peaceful.


Nothing says “quiet and peaceful” like heli skiing.

If you’re a grown up who wants to see the Netherlands, not get high and barf, the best place to start is The Hague or Utrecht. They’re pretty and historic, and they have good train service to Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Damn. Amsterdam and the tulips have been on my list forever. I'm glad I read this so my expectations will be more realistic.


I went to Amsterdam during King's Day and it wasn't filled with trash and King's Day is a different beast. Go see the tulips, just expect to do it slowly mashed with other people. But it was still worth it!

Didn't love Myrtle Beach. I'm not above a cheesy beach trip, but OC checks the box and is so much closer and easier. Can go there for just a night or two and be done with it.

I also dislike the entire state of Florida. It's the only place I've been where I've changed my flight to leave early.

I went to London recently and was admittedly underwhelmed. It was basically NY on another continent. I would go back, but not in a hurry. What I loved most about my visit to London was my day trip to The Cotswolds.


+1000 about Florida. I've been many times and I can't stand it. I'm now fortunately at a time in my life when I don't have to go back anymore. Frankly, if I never step foot in FL again I will be happy. There are many other fantastic places to go and I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.
