The shore of Kamilo Beach, located on Hawaii’s Big Island, actually has a new type of sand with plastic grains embedded into the rest. This collects at the surface of the beach and makes it very hard to have [...]

Don’t Go To San Joaquin Valley, California

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Nestled near both San Francisco and Los Angeles, this valley is like a bowl of pollution stew. All of the smog from the major cities carries over and settle in the lower area, mingling with the heavy diesel pollution from the local agriculture communities.

Don’t go to MALLORCA, SPAIN

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I HAVE BEEN TO GERMANY, AUSTRIA, ITALY AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. I AM A FEMALE TRAVELING ALONE.

Stonewall Resort, Weston, West Virginia

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

If you like the spring break style of rude obnoxious (locals?) quests who party until 4 AM with no mangement intervention, then you will love it here. Calls to the front desk are useless, perhaps they are all related to each other here. If you enjoy sleep, pass on this overpriced trailer park.

Branson, Missouri
