We returned today from Glacier. H loved it. Everyone loves it.
I did not. We stayed mainly on the East side and visited Many Glaciers. The towering grey mountains of rock depressed me. I did love the West side valleys. Beautiful.
I am now looking at many conversations about how wonderful and how beautiful Glacier is to most everyone.

We're among those who really like Glacier. Our fondness for travel includes seeing the natural world wherever we go - not the "human built" world. When we flew into New Orleans I sat next to a man asking what we were coming to see and mentioning pretty much everything in the city. When I told him we were coming to explore the bayous he laughed, then said, "Oh, you're serious? I never heard of anyone coming here for that before!" We had a blast and only spent a couple hours in the city looking around just to see what the fuss was all about - didn't appeal to us there at all.
I don't care to move to Louisiana or many of the places we visit, but I love seeing what nature looks like pretty much everywhere.
I think you have to do Rome off season, to get it.
I generally nod my head when people talk about how much they enjoyed a trip. No need to disagree.
Switzerland, because I went in winter and there was snow, which I despise. I live in NYC suburbs, so there's snow. I vowed never to spend money ever again to travel to a place where there is snow.
Disney World, though Disney Land is ok.
There are so many better places in Michigan to visit. The no cars thing is silly, too many t shirt and fudge shops. Expensive. And it smells.
