Holiday park caravan holidays
Hotels with ‘animation’ in the evening

God yes to these. I’d rather have no holiday and just go for walks in the countryside.

Owning a dog - I like dogs but have no desire to have one.

Cruises, speleology and rollercoasters. Although I'm wondering whether I should brave the (relatively) little one on the end of Brighton Pier.

GenXisthebest · 14/01/2024 08:53

I see all inclusive holidays on several lists - I have to say I thought the same before going, but I did really enjoy it when we finally tried it!

littlesandcircles · 14/01/2024 08:58

Spa days. I had managed to successfully avoid one for years, knowing instinctively that I would hate it. I eventually had to attend one (hen party of close friend) and I was right, I hated it. 😊

Another vote for Dubai. Apart from the misogyny & human rights abuses, It represents everything I despise in terms of ghastly vacuous, superficial tasteless materialism & consumerism.

Bergamotandbay · 14/01/2024 09:10

Anything that would involve putting my full head under water.
Probably couldn't cope with caving or any tight space activities. Other than that I would try most things I suppose (not smoking or drugs but holidays destinations and activities)

Celery ( the sound of my Dad crunching his way through this stringy stuff in the 60’s and 70’s put me off for life)
Pot Holing
Bungee Jumping

BarrelOfOtters · 14/01/2024 09:11

I thought I’d hate Miami. Had a brilliant week there due to DH’s work. I’d go back like a shot.

Disneyland…I don’t think I’m the target market but it’s designed for people to enjoy themselves so I’d probably find something.

cruises though, I think I really would hate that….
