I am glad I was in Venice several decades ago before all the current craziness. Fighting through massive crowds of tourists and selfie sticks to see the beauty of this city does not feel like it would be enjoyable. Plus, the charm of local culture is gone.
And, even without the current political climate, I have never wanted to go to Florida. I even turned down an offer of free accommodation from some friends who had a condo they used during the winter. I would rather have spent time exploring the states I'd have to drive through to get there than spend time in Daytona.
I could also include Disney World - or any of the Disney theme parks - in my list of places I'd not like to visit.

Theme park aren't my cup of tea either. I don't know for Florida. USA is too far away from home to consider a trip.
I feel really curious to see what everyone post this week!
My postcard is here.
The distance alone is sometimes a reason I wouldn't want to visit somewhere, so I'm really glad to get cards from far away, less accessible places.
This theme focused the mind, and outer reaches of my collection.
My no-go places are here
I have a very similar postcard as the first, just the gondola is in a different place, from the same time period.
My place I'd not like to visit is here:

Lisa, I think you and I might have many similar vintage cards! I like travelling back in time ;)
I'm with you about Florida. I went about 30 years ago, and the humidity was unbearable. Now it is like that here in Virginia, haha. I also agree about Venice, but I still go anyway because it is a short train trip for me from Lake Como, when I visit my family in Italy. And we often attend the film festival and the Biennale because of my daughter's work field. Maybe things will be better from now on with the admission tickets to access the city. The flamingo and alligator postcards are awesome.
