I've been planning on taking a vacation this summer, so I decided to do some research beforehand. The last time I just got in my car and started driving. I'd rather not go into great detail, but let's just say it didn't turn out all that well (and that porcupines, tequila and snorkeling is not a good combination).
Anyway, while doing my research, I ran across this list on AOL.com of the Top 10 Places To Not Visit. When I saw this, I thought to myself, "This will be a very useful tool. When I think travel knowledge and competence in general, I think AOL."
