Italy or Dudefest?

[Keystone Phil]

A showdown between the two most recent forum vacation destinations.

This may be one of the most lopsided poll results ever, by the way.

But remember Phil, we have some Italy haters.

Oh, I know but I think plenty of them would hate Dudefest even more.

Same. Unfortunately, I've been to the latter. I love how the people I was with (who aren't even France haters, for the record) agreed that the people were rude in the airport and on the Air France flight to Rome. Ironically, no one was rude to me in the airport or on the flight.

Where would that be?

Why didn't Barcelona make this poll?

I like one on one polls and I don't remember any prominent member going to Barcelona recently.  

but phil, we dont all have the finances to go to italy every year.

Neither do I. I don't go every year. I didn't pay for my trip in 2000 or 2008 (that was paid for by my family). I did pay for my trip in 2006 and this one. As you can see, I hardly go every year (though I will be there for a month next year if everything works out and I hope to have a career that makes pays well enough to allow me to go back every year). I really wasn't even supposed to get this year but I was that bored with life here.

Air France's (and Parisians) legendary hospitality also extends to French citizens.

I note the sarcasm.

Italy. Hell I'd think BRTD would like going to Italy because there is a pretty decent skramz scene there.

No, he wouldn't. He doesn't like Italy overall, if I recall correctly (too Catholic, conservative, etc.).

Eh. There are enough Italians and dudes where I live. There are even combinations of the two as well. So neither, really.

Italians in Canada (or where ever you are) isn't the same as going to Italy.

I'm sure you're excited but it does seem a rather unseemly the way you keep bragging about your European vacation.

Yeah, I'm excited. Sue me.    Must I bump your vacation thread from a few weeks ago?

However, this thread isn't really about me bragging. That's the other thread.    This is actually a BRTD-esque thread.
