We've all suffered through bad vacations- tourist traps, endless lines, rundown hotels, and the worst airports on earth. Before you book your next trip, get all of the facts--that "idyllic" beachfront hotel could really be one of the world's hellholes. In this follow-up to his New York Times bestseller, The Complete Travel Detective Bible, Peter Greenberg shares his experiences and hard-won knowledge of where not to go and why, so you can make sure your big vacation isn't to a dismal destination. From dangerous roads, crime-ridden cities, and countries overrun with disease to depressing destinations, polluted beaches, and places that (literally) stink, the ultimate travel expert leaves no stone unturned, no garbage heap unexplored, to list the locations you should forget even exist. Backed up by information he has been compiling for years, Don't Go There! unapologetically exposes misrepresented resorts, corrupt countries, and cringe-worthy cruise ships so that travelers can confidently pack their bags and avoid vacation tragedy.… (mehr)

An amusing little book. I certainly have to agree with the entry on the most wretched airport I have ever encountered: Charles de Gaulle International

"Although some complain about the smell ... the corruption ... or the crowds ... the consensus seems to be that this airport is just a poorly designed mess.
...
The problems happen when you try to transfer flights. There's no easy way to connect without going outside and trying to find a bus (wherever that may be) that actually will take you to the correct terminal. And when you get to that terminal, the lines can be so long that you can easily miss your flight. As for your connecting luggage, c'est la vie!"

Interesting, but I preferred the lists posted by his friends at the end. Really, I was hoping for a book that would tell you what not to waste your money on...more for your average traveler. Since I don't foresee going to Algeria anytime soon, there wasn't much in here I could use. Back to TripAdvisor.com......... ( )

In general, I love quirky travel books, like Roadside America or stories of travel gone wrong, like in I Should Have Stayed Home. This was more a FOX "news" version of a travel book; that is to say, it was humorless and seemed designed to frighten more than inform. In its defense; it's an equal opportunity fearmonger with the US represented more heavily than the rest of the world. ( )
