Best and Worst place you have been to?

Best: Washington DC- Loved the White House and other memorials. I also liked the fact that DC easy to get to Philidephia or New York City by train.

Worst: Rome, Italy - Seemed somewhat grotty. Was not really impressed with the cost of eating out there - for example £3.50 for a 500ml bottle of Coke :eek:

Whats your best and worst place you have been to and why?

    Best: Sydney, fantastic city, great weather, great wine, loved Sydney Harbour, it's different every day and a fantastic view

    Worst: Puerto Banus, for a place with so many people with so much money I found it very tacky. I found it expensive for food and drinks and was very unimpressed

    BEST - Las Vegas. Been there 5 times and never tire of the place. There's so much to do / see in the area too with all the national parks... An honourable mention to Cayo Levantado. Went there for a 2 week beach holiday last year and it was paradise

    WORST - Montreal. Misses got food poisoning. Ended up in a grotty room in the hotel and it never stopped raining / snowing while we were there. Saying that, i'm sure it's beautiful in the summer.

    Best: So many to mention, a small Island off Mexico called La Isla Majures was special, Las Vegas, Laughlin NV, I have a soft spot for Clearwater FL,Lynchburg TN, Birmingham AL, pretty much most of USA.

    Worst: Kayenta (Arizona i think) Drove 2 days to get there and it was literally a sh*t stain in the desert where you couldn't even buy a beer.

    best probably prague, maybe paris. both beautiful cites, wonderful history and architecture.

    worst (and probably the most dangerous), detroit city. outskirts are fine, but i stood out like a sore thumb in the slums.
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
