Almost all of them, with a few rare exceptions.

Not because I didn’t enjoy myself. But there are too many places in the world I want to see to justify returning to somewhere I’ve already been.

This is basically me. It's a big world, with lots of interesting places to visit. I've been to 31 countries, and I rarely want to see the same things again. I've made a couple of exceptions for places that I really liked and wanted to share. After visiting the Azores with my nephew, I loved it so much that I went back with my daughter and some friends. I went to Mexico City and loved it and want to go back, because four days wasn't nearly enough to see that city. I went back to Rome a couple of years ago, after first visiting in 1992.

My sister is getting married in Mexico City next year. Can’t wait to go it’s been high on my list for a while.

Absolutely. I’ve been to Colorado at least 12 times. Chicago every few years. Vancouver 3 time. Etc.

Can’t wait to get back to Barcelona and Tuscany. I’d spend a week in either of those places without a second thought.

Eta...sorry misread the question. Thought we were discussing place we WOULD return. No, never a place I’ve visited that I would never return. Some places I wouldn’t plan or pay for another trip, but I’d go anywhere

Any cruise that stops at Costa Maya, Routan Honduras or Progreso Mexico.

And Key West — just went and I don’t get the attraction or popularity. Like a brightly colored, tropical Bourbon Street.

Memphis, I've been back for work, but I stopped there to hit up BBQ joints and Graceland prior to working there. I have no wish to ever return there again. Probably will be back eventually unfortunately.

Anywhere in Alaska. I did my time in that state, no reason to return there either.

Lake Tahoe for skiing.

Mountain (Heavenly) was poorly run, extremely crowded, and shuts down with high wind. Roads also suck because they don’t use salt.

I would like to visit in the summer or fall, but it’s not too high on my list.

Not really. Only place I can think of was my one cruise I went on that stopped at Progreso. No need to ever go there again.
I've been on trips three other times to Mexico where we stayed on land for several nights. In general though, I don't need to go back anytime soon. Two of those three were were totally paid for by someone else, so I wasn't going to complain.

Traveled to Japan last year...figured it would be an amazing experience that I could check off the bucket list and then the next year we could travel somewhere else amazing that we've never been.

Yeah...we just booked another trip to Japan for January. Whoops

It shocks me, but I'm not that interested in returning to Costa Rica. I love the entire eco-adventure thing... but it was almost too commercialized and felt like being in Disney World for people who like to "adventure." In the end, it didn't always really feel that adventurous. The cultural aspects were also kind of weak. The food culture kind of sucks, and the economy is now all based on tourism... so there's really not a real indigenous feel to anything.

That being said, Montezuma kicks arse, and I could definitely hang out there for a prolonged time. So yeah: I'm not saying I wouldn't return to Costa Rica, but I was surprised that I didn't fall in love with it.

I haven't been, but that was my impression and why I went to Panama instead. I really loved the rainforests there.

Cabo, not saying I would never go back but it's definitely not high on my list. I'll probably steer clear of the DR for the foreseeable future as well.

Cabo San Lucas? I agree way over commercialized. Next time try going to San Jose del Cabo. Much more local feel.

Actually, on second thought, I will say Las Vegas. It just felt like such a sad place to me.
