Wow. I loved it there.


No. You liked the Ritz Carlton Resort.

One block away and everything was ugliness and blight.


Blight? Ugliness? Hahahaha you are an idiot. And the Ritz has a piss poor crowded stretch of beach. Much nicer places to stay.

Jesus. I disagree heartily with most of your list.


Me too. I wonder what the PP does like for vacation.

Just OBX. Nowhere else. LOL.


+4 I haven't been to Atlantis but I really like the rest of the places on this list. Dublin isn't my favorite part of Ireland but it's still awesome for The Craic.

Cape cod? Martha’s Vineyard? Boston? You weren’t going to the right places in those locations.


I agree with Cape Cod and MV.

You should have taken the extra effort to go to Nantucket. An altogether different experience.

We didn’t get south of La Paz (so no Cabo). Various campgrounds that were open 4 years earlier according to the professor who did the trip regularly were closed because the water table was depleated/ salinated. We went to swim at a reef and it was mostly dying and we later learned it was because RVs weren’t limited in sewage discharge near by (gross!!!). I saw extreme poverty (children begging, homes made of tires), a marriage notice at a church where the bride was 15, and a dog hit by a car who was left in the street. The few times we went to towns and went out at night the men seemed very aggressive. I found a lot of the trip sad, but eye opening. We are also low budget so no nice meals or hotels. I suspect I’d have a very different opinion of Baja California if I had flown in and out of Cabo or seen only tourist sites, but the countryside and rural areas made me not want to go back.


Look at the title of this thread. Who has ever raved about camping in Baja California?? I'm pretty sure this is on no ones bucket list.

If you don't like Belgium you must not like amazing beer, chocolate, waffles, fries, etc etc To me it's the best place to eat in the world...all the best of German and French food mixed together. I love it there. I could live there.

I, too, disliked Nashville. I got really sick after eating at the Pancake Pantry.
