canada
ReplyDeleteCanada is my #1 place to visit. Dontcha like nice people?
DeleteAfghanistan
ReplyDeleteTurkey
ReplyDeleteTurkey is an amazing county VIP! I was in Istanbul two years ago and fell in love with it, can't wait to go back. It's a true example of what a secular Muslim country can be like...
DeleteI wouldn't want to visit most countries of the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteMe neither nowhere where a woman is a 2nd class citizen or considered property!
Deletethats cold saycheese. They are our friends
ReplyDeleteSomalia
ReplyDeleteI second that!!!
DeletePlus England - sorry, but absolutely no desire whatsoever to go there.

DeletePretty sure saycheese was kidding.
ReplyDeleteIran, Iraq, Nigeria
ReplyDeleteWe hope
ReplyDeleteChina or Japan. Nothing against our friends in the far east I just can't handle that many people in one space.
ReplyDeleteI guess you're not a fan of NYC
DeleteNever been to NYC and I can't say that I have any plans to go. I might one day, just to say that I did (same way I feel about Vegas) and see some sights but it is pretty close to the bottom of my travel list. Pushing through crowds, power walking through cities, heat, smog and city smell are a few of my least favorite things.
DeleteNorth Korea
ReplyDeleteNorth Korea.
ReplyDeleteps. Been to Turkey many times. It's a beautiful country. Some of the most pristine beaches in the world. Too bad all the bullshit going on over there taints it.
Yeah, some of us are a little salty about the whole "denying the Armenian genocide" thing. But enjoy the beaches :)
DeleteUh huh.
DeleteI'm with @Tara. Or anywhere women are considered possessions.
ReplyDeletesaudi arabia
ReplyDeleteany place where alcohol is outlawed
ReplyDeleteIran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea
ReplyDeleteAny country on which stories about women being arrested for 'illegal sex' for being raped seem to be a common occurence (i.e. Dubai, 1 and 2, the latter eventually pardoned), or being gay is illegal / a death sentence (take your pick). Generally, anywhere where women are third-class citizens and actual religious persecution is actively occurring (Sudan).
ReplyDeleteWelp, he asked.
@VIP: I believe they just recanted that recently. Erdogan (the PM) gave a speech not too long ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat @Snapdragon said.
ReplyDeletei'm already in Canada, so would rather visit somewhere else given the choice
ReplyDeleteYemen.
ReplyDeleteSome of the African/Middle East countries where sharia law applies and/or human rights abuses against women take place and you can't go out on your own,,,and even with a partner you are not safe. Syria or Libya for example, Mali,,,,,No matter how much free luxury, I'd pass.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd go pretty much anywhere if it was paid for. Signed, Travel Whore.
ReplyDeleteIndia (again)
ReplyDeleteWas there for 2 weeks for business and couldn't wait to get out of that shit hole. Never been so glad to be back home and see grass and buildings not caving in and being glared at for no damn reason
On board with middle eastern countries, and russia. Dont want to be treated badly, and russia's idea of luxury was pretty obvious last olympics, so i will pass.
ReplyDeleteMy friends parents went on a luxury tour of Russia and it was just as you suspected, ghetto beyond belief. A street was shut down so their broke down old ass tour bus could make its way past the sites without traffic though...
DeleteSouth Sudan
ReplyDeleteI'll third what @Snapdragon said... that gif is perfect @7 :D
ReplyDeleteIndia, Most of Africa, and North Korea.
ReplyDeleteSudan
ReplyDeleteAnything in Asia. Doesn't interest me in the least.
ReplyDeleteAlso France. Traveled there on business & you could not pay me enough to go back to Paris!
DeleteI'm with @madeinbrzil on Nigeria. Crime, and a wholly corrupt government that will do nothing to protect you if you get into trouble - see the current situation with the kidnapped schoolgirls. Very crowded and with relatively few of the cultural treasures found elsewhere in West Africa, or the geographical beauties of Eastern and Southern Africa. No thanks.

If that's how you judge Russia, then NO ONE EVER SHOULD VISIT THE UK. Remember how they treated the Olympian's like crap during the 2012 games?
Dubai - I thought only American prostitutes visited there, a.k.a, BlowHan, The Kraps, Tara, etc.
ReplyDeleteNo way - Dubai is gorgeous for shopping too! I love Dubai ... very pricey though.
DeleteBangladesh.
ReplyDeleteI saw them driving there on the Amazing Race once - CHAOS!!
@TVJunkie.. I wanna hear!
ReplyDelete@aemish, I quickly learned that they really do hate Americans. The people were crazy rude & the concierge in our luxury hotel was the worst of the bunch. Also, I am a bit overweight, and people were just fine with mocking me in public. Also, I brought my then- husband along & we went to a cabaret - which I imagined to be burlesque. Imagine my surprise! The last 3 days were spent in my hotel room watching movies. Also, I did not see one pregnant woman or child. It was creepy. The Louvre was nice, though - a rare bright spot.
DeleteAgree about Paris but people in the French countryside were a lot nicer.
DeleteThat's nice to know, Susan!
DeleteAgree TV Junkie, my sister Visited Paris with my mum a few years ago and they were pointing at her and mocking her for being overweight as well. Stuck up and arrogant.
DeleteAny of the Muslim countries w/ the strict religious laws. If the lap of luxury doesn't have booze and loose women, I'd rather vacation at a Motel 6 in Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteAll of Asia-too crowded and most of it is too hot.
ReplyDeleteAny place in the Middle East-when I have to wear a hijab I get all "Nobdy puts Baby in a corner!".
Somalia. Don't think Disneys ever going to do a Pirates of Somalia ride anytime soon
ReplyDeleteAny country where there are lots of flies. I can't effing handle it.
ReplyDeleteAny of the "Stan" counties. If it ends with a stan, I want no part of it.
ReplyDeleteThere is no country that I wouldn't visit if my safety was assured.
ReplyDeleteAren't I the pretentious asshole?
DeleteWhy yes, yes I am.
Oh, Harry, you crack me up!
Delete@Harry, pretentious is not a word I'd associate with you. Contentious, maybe, but not pretentious. :D
DeleteAgreed Harry.
DeleteWhat you are going to do right this minute young lady is explain to me why you have posted an avi of BCoop being all golly-shucks as an illustration of my so called contentiousness.
DeleteStart talkin' and this better be good.
@Harry, I have ESP!
DeleteWon't open. Probably just more of your disgusting animal genitalia anyway.
DeleteYou should see a shrink about that.
If you find Helena Bonham Carter to be "animal genitalia", you're wise to not open the link.
DeleteTo my credit, I did not post a link to genitalia, animal or otherwise. You got two notices: NSFW and the link to the link. If you clicked on it, well, the one and only time I clicked on one of your links, I nearly fell out of my chair, so that's on you, my dear.
I'm sorry one of my links nearly made you fall out of your chair. To make it up to you, here's a carrot with a dick.
Delete@Harry (SFW, no genitalia, I Lannister promise)
DeleteI knew you would get it, being the brainiac/dirty girl that you are.
DeleteI feel like "brainiac/dirty girl" is a Scooby Doo compliment.
Delete(SFW, no animal nethers)
I think the list of where I'd be willing to go these days is a lot shorter than the one I wouldn't go to.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I'd love to be able to see Petra one day.
India
ReplyDeleteA trip to India will change your life. The extreme poverty contrasted with the immense culture, art, history and natural beauty. Been 3 times. Just avoid drinking the water - buy bottled.
DeleteCulture, art and history? I was in Mumbai and barely saw a green blade of grass. There was no beauty just smog and scary men. Oh and my colleague got so sick she ended up flying home after 3 days. It literally looked like an F5 Tornado hit and people said Whatever and just kept living in the squalor
DeleteGator girl: I'll plan your itinerary for your next visit.
Deleteand Haiti
ReplyDeleteAfrica. (Plus several others already mentioned)
ReplyDelete&
Missouri. Lol
UAE
ReplyDeleteHave a friend who works for the government. He said to stay away from any country that ends in stan.
ReplyDeleteFrance
ReplyDeleteGreece. Can't sit down for a week after visiting there.
ReplyDeleteCHAD.
ReplyDeleteROFL @Navymommy! +1
ReplyDeleteSyria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iran....
ReplyDeleteTurkey is spectacular! And most of its people are wonderfully friendly. I really hope they don't end up in a civil war. :(

ReplyDeleteFrance. Really.
ReplyDeleteCanada is so almost like the USA (no offense, northerners).
Canada really is, 0_0, no doot aboot it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't go to India.
North Korea
ReplyDeletei love india. studied there for 5 weeks, didn't want to leave. still can't get enough of their delicious (vegetarian) food.
ReplyDeletei have no desire to go to middle east/muslim countries. i really don't want to be looked down upon for being 1. a woman 2. american 3. enjoying a glass of wine 4. enjoying my partner. covering up my body is one thing... putting me in jail after being raped ("having sex") is abuse.
Honestly, I don't think there's anywhere I wouldn't go! Luxury accommodations all paid for - meet you at the airport. I know some places in the world are scary, but I want to see it anyway.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends used to lead tours all over Mongolia, Russia and the like...she said all the 'Stan' countries she went were fantastic! Uzbekistan especially....
ReplyDeleteThere's pretty much nowhere I would not go provided it was safe from war. I also have friends just back from Iran who said it was amazing...
North Korea. Totalitarian states are so 1972. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow. Some people really should just stay home.
ReplyDelete@Malibu, yep. And play Risk instead.
DeletePretty much any country in Africa.
ReplyDeleteIran or North Korea
ReplyDeleteGreece? Paris?
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked! I LOVED Greece and would live there if I was half fish half goat. The climate is too tough for me.
Paris is beautiful at night, but my father's country is a bit of a pain.
The U.S. within the next 10 years.
ReplyDeleteBeckyMae - You hit on two I'd really like to see: Uzbekistan and Turkey. Istanbul especially, what I've seen on travel shows it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy NO list is the same as you guys' - North Korea, places that treat women and gay people horribly. A lot of these countries I'd love to see, but not until they quit their evil ways.
jeez I need to read more. I don't know what countries to avoid. I wanna say Iran, but I don't know why. :^(
ReplyDeleteUse the Google machine and look up CIA World Factbook it provides all kinds of information about every country. Whether it's for a book report or if you're thinking about taking a trip it'll answer your questions. Prior to booking a trip, check online with the Department of State for travel advisory updates.
ReplyDeleteOh. I need to check the status of Canada. We're going up there in June. Gotta make sure they aren't on the brink of boycotting Tim Horton's that would be nothing but peaceful riots and grandma mayhem all over every small town and city until 4:00pm every day, except Sundays. Closed.
North Korea.
ReplyDeleteLas Vegas - j/k
