Here Are 5 Overrated Travel Destinations Around The World
There are plenty of destinations that are worth a long journey or a splurge. But there are also the places that don't deserve their accolades. 1. Hollywood, California You won't have much luck finding a celebrity here; there is only one major film studio in the area and the main attractions are unoriginal or tourist traps. 2. Stonehenge, England Declared one of the most overrated tourist attractions in the world based on TripAdvisor reviews, Stonehenge underwhelms many visitors. 3. Harbour Bridge, Sydney, Australia You won't find a more expensive bridge to walk across than the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The full 3.5-hour climb will cost you $268. 4. Venice, Italy This city is full of tourist traps, like gondola rides, that aren't worth the cost. The high numbers of tourists has also caused many locals to leave. 5. Las Vegas, USA There are a couple of occasions that call for a trip here, but it's best to skip this spot if you're traveling for leisure.

16 Unexpected Things I Never Board a Cruise Ship Without
From wildlife viewing and keeping your cabin organized to getting an excellent night's sleep and avoiding seasickness, these must-pack products will ensure smooth sailing on your next vacation. The post 16 Unexpected Things I Never Board a Cruise Ship Without appeared first on Reader's Digest. Over the past couple of decades, I’ve taken plenty of cruises—16 to be exact, on more than half-a-dozen different cruise lines. (Want to become a frequent cruiser too? Follow these secrets to save up to 40% on every booking.) Early on, I would spend days leading up to each trip frantically trying to decide what to pack for a cruise to ensure the best experience for myself and my guest. On many of those sailings, I felt some regret about what I failed to bring and was even annoyed by some things I packed that I didn’t actually need. With each cruise, I kept incrementally improving the contents of my suitcase, weeding out items that were a waste of space and making room for my non-negotiables. Now I’m proud to say that through plenty of trial and error, I have finally perfected my cruise packing game—in fact, I’ve just returned from an Alaskan cruise on the Majestic Princess and it was a perfect pack if I do say so myself. I’ve finally managed to hone in on every amenity needed to make travel a breeze, enhance cabin organization, bring me the ultimate relaxation and ensure I’m prepared for life at sea. I have two more cruises coming up this year, and each of these items will tour Europe on Holland America Line and the Middle East on Windstar Cruises with me.
