The Tourist discovers how to avoid the crowds Last week, the Tourist waxed melancholy over the onslaught of travelers who overrun his favorite destinations during peak season.
People are willing to spend a ton of money to essentially take forever to get somewhere.
Then elbow their way to get maybe a square yard of beach to deposit a blanket. Or stand in a line for two hours to take a three-minute rollercoaster ride. Which is why he essentially said 'screw it' this year and opted for off-season travel. Specifically, the Tourist and his crew went to a ski town without snow and a beach well after the Labor Day weekend's traditional end of summer. But when he was courting his future missus, he got the inspiration to take her to this beach in the middle of winter.
