both my TS experiences have sucked. The first one was shit...literally everywhere. The second one consisted of walking mostly...just walking around realizing I got burned. Guess it was better off just being a fantasy...

There are a lot of good TS providers out there that can give you one hell of an experience (as opposed to an experience in hell).  I've been burned, too, and the one thing that those experiences have drilled into my head (the big one) is research, research, research.  If you decide to try again, use this site, The Google, and TinEye (to search for bogus photos) to help in avoiding strike three.
