Even then, it wasn't that bad. Other than that, I agree with you too. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Unregistered	I wouldn't go back to Panama City. Went there a few years ago with the hubby and a couple friends. There were tons of college students and high school students cruising the streets all night, drinking, being loud, and in one case, streaking. I'm sure it's great if you're a student blowing off steam, but at my age I need something relaxing and family friendly.

Unregistered	It was Spring Break. Maybe I should re-phrase: I wouldn't go to Panama City during Spring Break again. Any other time, it might be great.

Horrible place - the only place in 15 years and I don't know how many countries of travel that everytime I stepped outside my room, I had to put on my "F*ck You!" face and stare down people in the street. Dodgy, dirty, and nasty. Even Goma in Eastern Congo felt friendly and safe compared to this place.

Commuter Group: Local Expert Posts: 613 Joined: 26-July 08 From: Dayton, Ohio Member No.: 217489	At one point I had said I would never go back to Mexico. But I was disappointed mostly because I was on a cruise in Cozumel which did not really represent anything at all Mexico. I'll definitely go back to go to Chichen Itza and Tulum in the Yucatan but definitely not touching Cozumel ever again. -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here

I've been disappointed by the touristy areas of Mexico as well...I don't know if I'd say it was the worst place to visit....but constantly being heckled to buy trinkets and whatnot is pretty annoying. -------------------- -Matt "Be a traveler, not a tourist."

Spent 4 days there on a course, I seriously had to drink to dull out the pain. Only place i've been where they have door staff on in the middle of the day to stop trouble. -------------------- Would be life traveler. Visit BackPackingShop

There was nothing to do (admittedly I was there over Easter weekend so everyone was away and everything was iced up) and the hostel was kinda creepy and waaaaay overpriced. -------------------- Happiness isn't a destination; it's a means of travelling

Voyager Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: 29-August 06 Member No.: 14925 Nominate me as a Local Expert	Haha, I did my Bachelor of Ed in Fredericton at St. Thomas. The sad thing? Fredericton is far and away the nicest city in New Brunswick in my opinion. Then again, I'm from Nova Scotia originally, and it was part of our residency vows to make fun of new Brunswick. -------------------- Travels Beyond Common Sense - www.travelpod.com/members/djchurch

Voyager Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: 29-August 06 Member No.: 14925 Nominate me as a Local Expert	The New Brunswick side of the Bay of Fundy IS beautiful, but it was our theory that this is because it is just across the bay from Nova Scotia, so some of the beauty of NS spilled over from NS. -------------------- Travels Beyond Common Sense - www.travelpod.com/members/djchurch

Maspolomas - Gran Canary I went with a group of family to celebrate my 50th birthday and the whole thing was a complete and utter disaster. Our hotel was not centrally located so there was a long walk or expensive taxi ride to get anywhere. The place was full with pervos and weirdos form Transezuals to Bebauch Naturists exposing themselves on the famous sand dunes - not my bag
