Death Valley National Park
Alien and Amazing
by ignu
Pros: Stunning natural scenery; fascinating and unique; excellent day trip
Cons: Hot, dry, and remote...but would you really go to Death Valley expecting otherwise?
Visiting Death Valley in November--especially when you're from Minnesota--is almost like being on another planet. The landscape could be a moon in some undiscovered solar system. And (when you're from Minnesota) the warmth is as welcome as a gulp of ...

Camelback
Well known = crowded
by sumo28
Pros: Great place to go in the middle of the week. Decent terrain park features.
Cons: crowded, narrow trails, short runs, too many flats, lack of trails for advanced riders.
OK, don't get me wrong, Camelback is a decent mountain. I've had a season pass there and go there a lot, and will go there a bunch more in the future. However, I feel like that any other mountains in the Poconos or Catskills are comparable and you ...

Le Pavillon Hotel
Close but far enough away
by kldavis99New Member
Pros: Walking distance to all attractions, attentive service, PB&J and Hot Chocolate
Cons: Parking, if not part of a package.
This is the first time my wife and I have visited New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina.  So heading back to New Orleans brought a sense of wonder as to how the city has faired as compared to what is spoon fed to you in the news.  We had ...

Legoland Discovery Center, Chicago
An expensive disappointment
by thebe100
Pros: Cute idea, might be enjoyable for 6-9 year olds.
Cons: Too expensive for what you get. Not good for preschool age.
Legoland Discovery Center was such a major disappointment that it almost ruined our whole day.  We thought our 3 1/2 yr old son and 2 1/2 yr old nephew would enjoy the experience, but we were very wrong.  First, the online "interactive" ...

Athens
Enjoying life with the ancients in Athens

Pros: Lovely to spend time exploring the lives and rituals of ancient Greece
Cons: I was disappointed with the Acropolis itself
Look at any guidebook or map of Athens, and there seems to be a bewildering amount of Ancient Greece to be able to explore. A quick wander round the city reveals perspex covered holes in the pavement or preserved columns at the side of Metro stations ...
