This Chicago Tribune list of readers’ picks for most overrated travel destinations is absurd. Let me list a few examples:
- Since when did Sacramento or downtown Riverside, CA become tourist destinations? Why would they make any travel destination list?
- How can “The Beach” (is that any and all beaches?!) be overrated? WTF?!
- How can “Any place that’s not Los Angeles” be included on the overrated places list? I thought this was supposed to be the Chicago Tribune, not the LA Times!
- Apparently Monterrey Bay sucks because “the weather was overcast.” Yeah, um… okay: “Stupid California coastal fog. Who cares that it’s responsible for the amazing flora/fauna of the CA coast and its biodiversity. The fog totally harshed my vacation-mellow.” (People are stupid!)
- Also it appears that Italy sucks because one person didn’t do her homework before she traveled, people in Italy speak Italian (and not English — gasp!?), hotel vacancies were scarce because of the lack of advanced-planning, and the other couple she traveled with got on her nerves. Yeah, that’s all Italy’s fault.
Jeebus H. Crimeny! This is the worst list of readers’ picks ever. Christian put it best:
This isn’t “most overrated tourist destinations.” It’s “grumpy tourists whine and bitch about nothing.”
