Sodona, Arizona. Other than the red rocks and hiking trails it's a bore.

We just went in October for the first time right before Sandy hit and I so agree. First and last trip.
Never was into gambling.
Went to Vegas..................so I could fourwheel through the desert from Vegas to Barstow Cali. Took a little over three days and an extra 15 gallons of gas. Never set foot in a casino.lol
It was great!!! Followed the old wagon train trails from hidden spring to hidden spring.
Explored old mines and Indian art on cliff walls. Found the holes where they ground corn.
Probably one of my favorite trips.....except for the drive time from Houston.
Same here. We are not into gambling but I would definitely love the kind of trip you describe. That is the plan this year. To fly into Vegas for the cheap flight and to grab a rental car and then off to explore the outdoors.
That four-wheeling trip sounds like a great time. I definitely prefer beach and mountains over neon.

My wife and I vowed NEVER to go again.

Thats one thing I learned about the desert. If you cant drive it,you wont see much.
It's a hell of a long way between points of interest.
But driving through the desert is a high point by itself.
I aren't often disappointed, but then I often have low expectations!!
Certainly Bali is not what you might think from watching movies - to my mind it is over-hyped and largely now full of shopping malls and tourist buses. There aren't many nice beaches (except for surfing) and very little snorkeling close to shore.
I'm also not a big fan of India. I know many people love it, but to me it's a damn difficult place to travel, and for not always a lot of reward. Certainly it is an experience, but not always a good one.
My most disappointing place was Koh Samui in southern Thailand.
I'd just spent two weeks traveling around northern Thailand loving it. Sometimes being the only foreigner in town, I felt like I escaped from the world I knew.
I met up with some friends in Bangkok afterwards and then we flew down together to spend a week in Koh Samui. We arrived at the airport and got into town. I was pretty disgusted. Nightclubs filled with tourists, beaches covered with topless, fat foreigners and the streets crowded with surly, apathetic backpackers... and hardly a Thai person in sight....a completely different Thailand from the one I'd just left. And we were booked in for a whole week. I almost cried LOL
What, you expect to have THE EARTH to yourself when you travel? Nobody else might have the same idea to visit some place you decide to visit?

For me it was the Dominican Republic. All inclusive resort in Punta Cana and the food was terrible. I became pretty sick. Not that impressed with the beaches either. Not as clean as other resorts I have been too.
I have Dominican neighbors and they could not be nicer people but the employees at this resort were anything but nice nor helpful. Also the plumbing was faulty and our upgraded room was worn and shabby and not shabby chic.
We did enjoy some of the beach activities like para-sailing and met a great guy from Haiti who was working the beach selling excursions and activities.
When I was young I was told "don't shit where you eat"
Unk did not grow up in my neighborhood.

Haiti I can understand...but Grece??!
I recently visited somebody living in Bayone New Jersey.
Not on my highly recommended list of places to see.
Not unless you're a big fan on places polluted by heavy industry, then it's like heaven, I suppose.
