Don't forget all the homeless people with their shopping carts, also...

The Grand Canyon - taking the bus on the tourist trap side - no different than being stuck in a traffic jam in a big city. I will never set foot there again. I like to enjoy my nature in peace and quiet, thank you.
New York Museums: somepeople would argue that Museums are super-boring. I personally like them, but many people I know hate museums and think that they are beyond boring.

Grand Canyon: great place to see. Once.
