I think I know where I want to go on vacation. As in, I spent some time looking and I picked a hotel.
There is not a large likelihood that this will actually happen.
Someone recommended oyster.com. It has real-life pictures and people talk about their actual experiences. Kind of Yelp-ish, except with fewer drunken 24-year-olds. (Near me restaurants only get excellent Yelp ratings if they have a great bar selection or food for less than $5.) Oyster pointed out that the Four Seasons on Maui at Wailea has no resort fee. So although the rooms seem a lot more expensive, it's actually about the same price as a lesser hotel all totaled. Theoretically. Probably there are sale prices and much better combo deals for lesser hotels.
( blathering about this insanely expensive place I really will not go. )
We looked at going to Disney World (the Florida one, even though we live in California) but I'm completely put off that the people who built EPCOT and touted it as the vision of the future and all... they don't have wifi. ANYWHERE, not even in the hotels. Everywhere has wifi now. What kind of pathetic losers are they? We're not going there. They're obviously trading on past glories.
I kind of want to see the Grand Canyon, but if it's even vaguely like Yosemite, it's crammed full of tourists until it needs a PARK FULL sign outside. And it's in Arizona, though it turns out Rhode Island has been implementing a similar policy for years, they just didn't make a big fuss over it.
My SO suggested we go to Eureka.. but I doubt it would be the cool place for nerds and smart people to hang out that it is on the show of the same name.
Eventually I'll give up and we'll not go anywhere.
