Say What? [Silly questions tourists ask]

Greetings all!

Have you noticed that sometimes on vacation our mind goes truly vacant? That’s when we ask silly tourist questions. Here are some examples from Westways AAA magazine (January/February 2018 and March/April 2018 issues).

"Would you direct us to a local antique factory?"

In Disneyland:

• What time is the 2 o’clock parade?
• Did Mickey and Minnie get married in a church or here at Disneyland?
• Is Disneyland part of the U.S.A. or is it like the Vatican?

On a cruise ship: A passenger was looking in the photo gallery for pictures the ship photographer had taken of her. She asked, “How do I know which photo is mine?”

In front of the elevator on a cruise ship, a lady asked me, “Do the elevators only go up and down?” I asked her where she wanted to go, and she replied, “The front of the ship.” I told her she would have to walk there.

In Hawaii: "Do we need to stop at a currency conversion booth and get Hawaiian money?”

On a sunrise bike ride in Hawaii: “How many sunrise bike rides do you do each day?”

On a replica of Columbus’s ship Niña, in the storage area at the bottom of the boat there were planks for tourists to walk on. The guide mentioned that the real Niña did not have a floor like this. A woman asked, “Well, then, was it just open to the sea?”

At the visitor center in the Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction:
"At what altitude do the deer turn into the elk?”

At the Grand Canyon visitor center: "When do they turn on the lights at the canyon?"

At the Yosemite visitor center:

• What time do they let the deer out?
• Can I see Yosemite and Yellowstone in one day?
• When do they turn the waterfalls on?

At the Bryce Canyon visitor center, a tourist unfurled a Grand Canyon map and asked the park ranger, “Can you tell me where I am on this map?”

In the U.K. near Stonehenge (which dates back 5,000 years): “Why did they build it so close to the road?”
