+1 I don't understand why people like Harper's Ferry so much. It's tiny, and there aren't many interesting stores or restaurants. Same for Ellicot City. I don't get the appeal. Frederick downtown is more interesting.

I've been to Harper's Ferry a few times because I thought I'd miss something the way people around here talk about how amazing it is. So years later went back. I don't get it at all. It's totally bizzare.

You go to Harper’s Ferry because there’s beautiful hiking close by, then you grab a burger and leave. You aren’t visiting it like you visit Frederick (unless you hike in the Catoctins).

This is an accurate description and I’m there often. All the suburbs also look the same.

I have been many many places and the only 2 I'll never go back to are LA and Rome

I once got really severe food poisoning in Barcelona and in my mind I have so many horrible associations that honestly I would never go back.
I also hate the Outer Banks. I just don't get the appeal. The traffic, the crowds, waiting in line for a restaurant, that highway that runs through the middle of the whole thing. And the sand is too hot.

Anyone thinking of heading there please check out the videos on youtube.

I’m surprised. My DC lived in Philly until 3 years ago and loved it: vibrant, friendly neighborhood and great, fairly inexpensive restaurants. I visited frequently and concurred with her. Lots to do for a long weekend visit.

+1. Huge disappointment. Dirty, seedy and a bit scary in places. We were traveling with a teenager, and couldn’t even find a venue downtown to listen to live music.

+1. I lived there after college in the mid '90's and it was fun. This was before the tech boom.

Now it's nothing special and has sprawled so much. The amount of building into the Hill Country is kind of tragic. The exception is if you are wealthy and can afford to live in Tarrytown or Zilker or a few other neighborhoods.

I loved Aruba because we rented a car (really, a tin can) and spend $9 on gas driving around the entire island. We went to every beach we could, and then ended up on west side where there's a very Americanized grocery store. We had a kitchenette so I cooked every night. One of our cheapest trips.

Anyone that goes to Aruba — get the stroopwaffel at the grocery store. They make them fresh there and they are the most delicious thing. We all wished we’d bought a lot more!

Aw, I love Montreal. Great museums, shopping and restaurants. It's feels like going to Europe without the jetlag.

I'm from Europe. It really doesn't feel like Europe at all.
Except that men can be petite, I guess.

French men are not known to be particularly tall either.
But I understand you have to get your mood boost by claiming European superiority, as per usual.

Europe is huge. When someone posts that they are from "Europe" I just replace it with Moldova and feel bad for them.
