| In the summer i invited two friends to go with me to cancun. so we wanted to check out the whole hotel. we wanted to go to the 5th floor so we can see the whole ocean. when we were going on the elevator so many people went in i would say about 20 people were squished in the elevator. It was a VERY VERY VERY hot day and the elevator did not have air condishoning.WE WERE STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR!! we tried to ring the emergency bell and it didnt work! I COULDNT BREATH! so after15 minutes we got out and we started taking the stairs and we were shaking. till this day i have never been on elevator.~ anonymous~ Here is a really bad vacation. I live in tennessee and my cousins live in alabama , so I thought I would go visit them. I my mom , my dad , and my friend drove down there which it took about four hours. My best friend who was in the car with me had just got over menegitis. I thought we were all out of the woods and were not going to get sick I WAS WRONG! Half way up there my head started to hurt. I thought it was just a headache from being in the car for so long so I ignored it. After a couple of hours later I could not move I was hurting so bad , but once again I ignored it. We finally got to my cousins house a few minutes later and my head felt as if it was being hit with a hammer. I got out of the car and started walking toward my cousin's trailor with my head killing me litteraly and I passed out! I woke up in a hotel. My mom said that it was just a migrane and I told her I needed to get to a hospital and quick! My dad picked me up and through me in the back of the car with my best friend. We drove off to find a hospital in the middle of no where. We finally found a very small doctors office and they took me in. A very stuck up nurse came into the room with a iv and a butterfly needle and grabbed my arm. At that point I didn't care what she did. She stuck it in my arm without saying a thing and walked out. My dad got really mad and called the lady some words of his choice and then grabbed my arm and yanked the iv out of my arm. Then he picked me up through me in the car once again with my best friend and said that we were just going home. After a couple of hours later I felt very nautious and thew up all over my mom's shoes. I was screaming with pain for hours after that. Then my dad got lost . You no how men are they won't ask for directions. So seven hours later we pulled up in the familar hospital. My dad carried me in and threw me in a wheelchair and forced me into the nurses arms. After they stuck me eight or nine time s witha needle in my back. They told me I was positive for menegitis. They thought they were going to have to amutate one of my fingers , but they didn't. None of my family or friends got sick just me. After like five weeks after getting out of the hospital. The first hospital I went to billed us for 3,000 dollars! - |

| I was taking a road trip to Lake Taho California with my mom and her friend, right after my school year had ended. From the beginning I had a feeling this was a bad idea. It was a really hot day and my moms friend had to mail some packages so we waited until 5:30 pm in the van outside the post office to actually leave for the long drive. My moms friend had a huge van with only 2 passenger seats so I had to sit in the van on some pillows. I didn't know my moms friend expected me to read her the directions and coach her on the driving, which i did, badly. It got late and we kept missing freeway entrances and she would freak out and get us even more lost. We went to eat at Dennys in Sacramento and when i was in the bathroom the male janitor came in and i screamed for him to get out! but ofcourse he had to apologize for what seemed like a long time before he actually did. The weather was very muggy and hot When we got to Lake Taho the elevation was so high that we could barley carry our luggage. I felt sick the whole time and just slept. And the way back she got us lost at 1am in some stinky farm city called tracey or truckke. She went down this weird farm road which she thought led to the freeway for some reason for like an hour. I kept saying this does lead to any freeway but she had her mind set. After 2 hours she finally wanted to ask for directions so she pulled into this weird little area with a single white shed with two big men and a single light bulb in it....The shed was sorrounded by a barrbed wire fence, I thought for sure her and my mom would figure out this was not a good idea. She attempted to get out of the van and i interupted my long disgusted scielence and yelled "DOES ThIS LOOK LIKE A PLACE WHERE YOU SHOULD ASK FOR DIRECTIONS?? THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA ARE YOU CRAZY????" both my mom and her friend looked like they realized i was correct. So instead we just drive back 2 more hours the other way and landed on the freeway again. The worst part was when she got home, she wanted us to help her unload boxes and carry them to her house for 1 hour. And when me and my mom FINALLY got in our car to go home, it smelled horrible becuase my mom had forgot to put some fish we bought in the frige before we left! and let me mind you this was a heat wave in california and the weather was 104 every day we were gone, and it was 3am and the weatner was 80. The car smelled like dead rotting fish, i stuck my head out the window the whole way home and that was deffinatley an expirence i will never forget. -me F/17 California - |

| Well, on our way to Toronto a few years back, we decided to go through the state's (we live in New Brunswick) Well, when we arrive at the border, we decide to roll down our windows for some fresh air. Well, that was a good idea, untill a bee got in the car, the dog, got frightened, and well, she decided to 'accidentally' go to the bathroom (#2) in the car!! By the way, this is a rental car. And to make it worse, my brother got stung, and he cried. So, after he stopped and we cleaned out the car befor crossing the border, we didn't spray the back with febreeze (wich we had and could have used!!) The guy at the border looks in the car and says, "What is that smell? Are you guys having a crpping contest in here?" After we get to Toronto, we are on the way to where we are staying, and wouldn't you know it? we got lost!! We finally finally reach the place and decide to celebrate with cookie's!! It's 12:00 midnight! So it turns out I am allergic to peanut's! I had to be rushed to the hospital, in the waiting room, the guy next to us smells like garbage! On the way home we went through Canada. Half way home, my brother pukes. And we decide to use febreeze! It smells like crap in there and the guy at the rental place says it will cost extra cause it stinks!! Being a girl sucks sometime's cause the rental guys son, decide's to start hitting on me!! EWW he had acne!!!! - |
| At the end of 2001, I went to visit my dad for Christmas, like usual. But guess what--this was three months after 9-11, and my mother was too paranoid to let me fly (though I had no objections) and what's more, she had a heart attack out of the blue in early December, so she couldn't drive me there, which was Plan B. That left: the train. Though my ride there was uneventful, going back sucked. I ended up ringing in the new year stuck on a train from New Haven to Philly, and when we passed through New York all the Times Square revelers crowded the train, and I was stuck next to some rude guy. Then I got to the Philly station, where I had to wait for two hours for my next train. I was already frickin' tired, and I was scared to death of falling asleep and missing my train. To make matters worse, the phone my mom had given me to call her and let her know I was ok wasn't working, and I was surrounded by sketchiness--at one point, I swear I saw a pimp! I was never so glad to get on a train. Oh, and there's one final bit of embarrassment: that afternoon, while still on the way back, a conductor called me up to the front of the train to let my mom (who had somehow gotten ahold of this particular train) know I hadn't overslept or been murdered or something. A Christmas I'll never forget... -Chris - |
| I thought this was going to be the best vacation i ever had,just me and my friends, away from home for a week, no proublems, no school, and no family so we set off on our (should be) only four hour trip to virgini a. five hours later were in maryland and sitting in a kmart parking lot ?! an we have know idea where were at , so we get back on the road and think we know where were at so we are all com now and in a good mood, about four hours later my best friend says hey were almost their (to virginia) she says hey everyone look!!! i see the state line virginia sign which turns out to be a WEST VIRGINIA SIGN!?!? an hour later we are all sitting on the ho od, at a truck stop, trying to think how to get back to ohio and just when i think nothing else will go wrong i get in the car and say its my turn to dr ive an i shift the cluth to get back on the interstate and it started smokei ng so i pulled back over and we got out to open the hood and it cot on fire! !! so on the side of the high way my dads 1967 firebird was burning to a cri sp!!! what a good summer! - |
| This is not a vacation, but it is, anyway! My name is Jon and , living in Ohio, I do a lot of hunting. Last year my dad decided we should go down and visit my cousins the same week as deer season! Normaly we have to go back to school the Monday after Thanks Giving, but over break some kids broke into the school and ATTEMPTED to burn it down! Luckily the janitor was there and called the fire department. The fire was put out, but there was some serious damage to part of the school. We were out for 2 and a half weeks while they repaired it. That gave us time to go and visit. Well, thankfully deer season is the same in southern Ohio as it is in northern! My uncle hunts and so do my 3 older cousins, but the younger one (who I call devil child) is only 8 and isnt really into the whole hunting thing. So my mom and sister stayed (shopped! YUCK!!) With my aunt and cousins (little girl age 10 and devil child) and they "visited"! Well, the 3rd day out I got a HUGE 12point buck! Biggest I have ever gotton! Of course, devil child was fasintated with it and wanted to go hunting the next day, with me. He hates me, I hate him, plain and simple! Down there we are allowed to get 2 bucks, here we are only allowed one. I took him out, early the next morning and he whined for half an hour because he was hungry. His own fault, he should have eaten before we left. I told him that if he didnt shut up, I was going to put antlers on him and shoot him. Needless to say, he didnt say another word, and for two hours we sat there, waiting. I could tell he was getting bored, and was about to take him home, when another huge buck (only 10points though) stepped out of the trees! Devil child grabbed my gun and started shooting. He missed the buck, but hit me in the leg 3 times! He dropped the gun and ran after he saw what he had done. It took them an hour to find me and I had to have 2 surgeries on my leg. I was in a cast for about a ;10 months, in fact I got it 2 months from yesterday. Now everytime devil child sees me he runs and hides. I think Im going to change his name from devil child to fraidy cat. I think he still remembers my threat. Dad said no more hunting with him and I agreed completely. I am hunting agian but I dont think I will ever get the chance at 2 huge deer in less than 24hours. My leg still hurts and mom says it always will, but I will hunt until I die, just not with "dangerous" kids (or ones who are evil!! lol)! thats my HORROR vacation! - |
| I had just turned 16 and my friends, our boyfriends, and our parents went to Hawaii to celebrate what they called a "Sweet 16" birthday! You see my friends and I always celebrate our birthdays on a vacation in July, because we all have birthdays in July! Our parents had gone to do something on their own and we went on to the beach. My man, David, wanted to go on a walk around the Island. Of course, I went with him! It was a beautiful day and we were having the time of our lives! It was perfect, a beautiful day in Hawaii with the guy of my dreams, what could go wrong? Well, we found a cave and some "things" happened! We didnt know it but there was a huge storm about to hit the Island and here we are in the middle of No Where. Well, not No Where, but close to it! Everyone we were with was looking for us, and here we are in a cave. Who finds us? My Father! He is a preacher, a "sex-ed." "teacher" in our local school system, and doesnt reall y like my B/F! Lets just say we spent the last 4 days (of a 5 day vacation) in a hotel room getting lectured by our parents! We didnt break-up, but boys were no longer allowed on our "birthday" vacations! - |

| Every year my family goes on a big trip during the summer. This year we were going to go to Hawaii and have a connecting flight through San Francisco. When we got to San Francisco we decided to stay for a few days. It was about 6 or 7pm when we got there, but my dad really wanted to go to the Red wood forest. So we got our bags and got the rental car and drove up to there. When we got there it was around 7:45 and the park closed at 8. The park ranger said that we could walk around for awhile and he was going to leave and come back later to close the gate. So we started hiking and when it was around 815 we decided to head back to the car. When we got back to the car we took a few pictures, and got in the car. My dad was trying to start the engine, but it wouldn't work. Luckily there was another couple in the parking lot with us. They agreed to take my mom to a gas station to get some oil for the car. My mom left and it started getting really dark, and the city was at least 50 miles away. They dropped my mom off and left t we put the oil in the car and we tried to start the car again. It didn't work, we were stuck there. The cell phones barely had service so we kept on trying to reach the rental car department. My dad made us stay in the car for the most part because of bears and other wild animals. About 4 hours later the park ranger came back to close the gate. We told him what had happened and he agreed to wait with us until the new rental car came. Finally about 2 hours after the ranger got there he came. We were so happy to finally get out of those woods. - |
| It was July 05 and my family were getting ready for our annual vacation to Florida. I thought that this would be a good time for my girlfriend to my family. She says that she could come, so the next day we went down to Florida. All my family enjoyed meeting my girlfriend and talked about how beautiful she was. That night the guys and ladies went to do there own things for the night. The guys we went to a baseball game, after that we go in a bar to get some drinks and I see my MOM and My Girlfriend having body shoots off each other. It was awful and I thought that it can't get any worse(but it does). Next day all of us go to play some golf at a local golf course. We head back to the club house for lunch after the game. My girlfriend leaves the table to go use the restroom, 10 minuets passed and she still wasn't back yet so I decided just to she how she was. I opened the door a little bit and I hear screaming coming from one of the stalls. I open it and my girlfriend is doing the caddy. They stop when they saw me and the caddy leaves. I yell at my girlfriend and she apologizes so we go back to the table. That night it gets worse I take her to dinner and we talk. We go back to the rental condo. We go to bed about mid night and I was thinking tomorrow at the beach will be fun. I awake about 3 in the morning to the sound of someone hitting the wall. I thought my girlfriend was in the restroom or something, NO way my dad and uncle were doing against the wall. I yelled and stormed out and left to go back home. Never seen my family or my ex girlfriend. Guillaume William, Chicago - |
| So me and my family went down to the carribean for a week in the winter. On the way back, we get delayed three hours at the "airport" on this tiny island. Well, we get to San Juan and our connecting flight had left two hours ago. So we get in line to re-book and we stand in line for one hour. Then we get to the counter and we stand AT THE COUNTER FOR TWO HOURS. AT THE COUNTER! So they get us on a flight to Newark (we were going to Ashville, NC). We will have to stay in Newark, NJ, overnight and fly to Ashville the next day. So we get to Newark in shorts and t-shirts and flip-flops (we were in the caribbean for a week). Anyway, we get there in the middle of a blizzard. Snow everyware. So finally we get home and our bags are in Idaho. IDAHO! They didn't get there for a week. -- Bob - |
| Here is my story. On December 21, 2002 I boarded a plane in Tucson, Arizona, heading to LAX to catch a flight to Lima, Peru via San Jose, Costa Rica. The first leg of my trip was a clear indicator of a trip from hell. Leaving Tucson was without event, but once I arrived at LAX Murphy’s Law was on duty and fully alert. After I deplane I went to retrieve my luggage so I could take it to the international terminal for the second leg of my trip. Waiting for my 6 pieces of luggage to appear on the carousal I discovered two of my suite cases had been torn apart (clothes just falling out everywhere). The baggage handlers sent my luggage through the conveyer system in that condition. The sad part about my luggage was the fact the Murphy’s Law still had more destruction on tap. When my luggage was on the carousal it get stuck on a loose screw and rip in two. After complaining to the airlines, the airlines gave me one replacement suite case that was too small. After about thirty minutes dealing with this problem I finally headed over to the international terminal. Upon arrival at the international terminal door Mr. Murphy opened the door for me and jump in my pocket. The line of people was too long to remember. At first I did not worry about because I have four hours before the second leg of my flight take-off. While standing in line I notice many people in front of me were trying to make their luggage smaller. Some people were sitting on their luggage to squeeze it then taping it down with duct tape. After two hours I finally made it to the ticket counter. Before I could even say my name the ticket agent told me the plane was full. Then she told me she can put me on a plane in five days. What was I going to do in L.A. for five days? After I made a huge stink which lasted almost an hour, the on duty manager basically put on the same flight for the next day. The ticket agent gave me boarding passes for the flight from LAX to San Jose, but did not get me any information about the flight from San Jose to Lima. The ticket agent told me my luggage needed to be smaller and I need to return the next day at 6pm (6 hours before my flight). Now it was 3am I was stuck in LAX. So I rented a minivan ($124 for one day), found a hotel in San Pedro and crashed. The next day I went to K-Mart and bought a set of luggage and mailed everything I did need back to myself. Promptly at 6pm I was standing at the ticket counter for the airlines I was traveling on. No one was there. So I waited. At about 7:30pm a ticket agent arrived and I checked in. I thought everything was fine now and I could relax. Now remember my original ticket had me flying from LAX to San Jose to Lima. Now I was flying from LAX to Mexico City to San Jose to Lima. I said that’s OK. At Least I will get to Lima today. Hind sight is 20 20. When I got to San Jose, Costa Rica, I went to the ticket counter to check in for the last leg of my trip. BAM Mr. Murphy was standing at the ticket counter. The ticket agent for the airlines told the flight I was scheduled to take was fully and there were no other airplane going to Peru. Of course I blew up at the ticket agent. This time though it was a good thing. See the airline I was flying on was based out of San Jose and it just so happened that a senior level person for the airline just happen over hear my flight dilemma. After a few minutes the airline offered me overnight accommodations at the Best Western and three meals at Denny’s. I say that’s not bad but the only problem was my wife was confined to the hotel because she failed to get a visa for Costa Rica. The next day when it came time to fly to Lima I was told that my flight would be going from San Jose to Caracas then to Lima. My original travel plan was leave Tucson at 5pm arrived LAX at 6pm change airlines, leave LAX 12:30am arrive Lima 8:30am. But what actually happened I arrived LAX at 6pm on December 21. Left LAX December 23 at 1230am Arrived Mexico City 5:30am, departed Mexico City at 7am and arrived San Jose at 11:30am on 23 December. Departed San Jose on December 24 at 10am, arrived Caracas at 1pm, departed Caracas at 3:30pm and arrived Lima at 6:45pm. Total travel time Depart Tucson December 21 at 5pm, arrived Lima on December 24 at 6:30pm Travel Time 73.5 hours. I should have drove! Maybe I could have left Mr. Murphy at home. - |
| This vacation wasnt that bad but it was pretty scary but cool at the same time. Well, my family & i were in the middle of the Strezleki Desert at night & it was dark. Really dark. The only light was coming from our cars headlights. Well, a thunderstorm started & the lightning was freaky! It was orange, (not normal in Australia), &so we had to pitch our tent. There were so many bugs, but because i love bugs it wasnt that scary. Anyway, a small sand storm started. So there we were, 5 of us in a tent, nothing but the hot desert & bugs around us, & a sandstorm! The next day was much better. We left the place we named "Camp Bug" & moved on. - |
| So every year our family attempts to have a fun filled vacation, besides all the screaming and fighting between my sister and I. This year we traveled to Michigan for a week vacation in a rented house, just big enough for all of use. We reached our destination at 3:30, went inside the house, looked around, saw that there was NO promised dock to dock our jet ski up to, turned on the air conditioning, and left to go to the Peach Festival. My family loves fruits, especially peaches. My sister was soooo thrilled to go! We went there, and saw that it wasnt a peach festival, but a pimped out car festival. Major bumer... We couldn't believe it. We picked this week because there was a peach festival. We ended up having Hawian Ice which they didn't even have peach flavor! Well... we get back to the cottage that hadn't been lived in for a few years and find ATLEAST 200+ bees and wasps flying around. What happened? Well there w as a bees nest inside the air conditioning. This was a huge promblem because my dad is highly allergic to bees. If he gets stung ONE more time then he will die. Not joking. We had a law suit on our hands... CRRAZY! Well... we killed all of them but it took a LONG LONG TIME.. okay so the upstairs was freaking, no one even sleept in one of the bedrooms because it was so scary, we all slept downstairs... what else? OH yes the dock. My dad just learned how to use a jet ski, let alone put it into the water... With no dock we had to take it in and bring it out constantly... By thrusday.. we got a dock and was able to put it up FINALLY! well.. it was our last day and my dad, my sister, and i decided to go out for ONE more ride on the jet ski. We were in the no wake zone and some fool comes at us at like 90. and so my dad speeds out of the way and we get up to 30 and we have to go on the edge of the 100' rule. We ended up getting pulled over by the coast guard.. Where were they when the people were going 100+ and were drunk!? Hmm...? Well this was one of our best vacations ever [not being sarcastic..] there have been so manny more! .. ! Once we were in Maine on a whale sitting cruise thing and there was fog all around us. and.. everyone pucking! instead of saying whale at 2 oclock.. it was more like Lady in the green shirt on deck 2 get a barf bag fast! ! ! - |

| I'm 15 years old and me and my friends decided to go to on holiday to Lourdes(south of France) We went with the school so everything had been booked. It had been going great until we got given our rooms at the hotel. The hotel looked a bit icky but the room was nice and big which was a good thing because you know how much mess 3 15 year old girls can make. But we didnt end up staying in that room because the teachers thought that it would be better if we swaped rooms with them. so we did, not knowing that our new room was a small, cramped box room. It had 3 beds squashed together with about 30cm gap at the end of them to walk past. The bathroom was worse. It had a BIG leaky hole in the cieling of the shower and no window which was even worse luck because there was about 5 power cuts through out the time we stayed there. Trust me. NEVER SWAP ROOMS WITH ANYBODY. EVEN IF ITS THE POSHEST HOTEL EVER. - |
| Hi, my name is Gigi. I have never liked going camping or sleeping any where out sides. by the way, I was eighteen years old when this happen. Yeah back to the story, well...like I said, camping and sleeping outside was never my game or anything that I liked. But it was one of my best friends birthday that year, and she wanted to go camping. I didn't want to go, but I went because she was my best friend. So me alone went with her and her two cousin and their girlfriends and their girlfriend's brother. We went to camp in San Diego Ca. Well, there was four girls and four boys. When we got there, I was like, nah uh...I am not going to like this. I was already having a bad feeling. we were camping out of no where! no cabin, no log house! Just tent, trees surrounding us! and just us alone in the woods! I was starting to get scare, but then we turn on the radio and started partying, they offer me beers but I said no. I've never drink before and I didn't want to get drunk. But they insist it, and I took one. By then it was already dark. soon everyone starts getting drunk, even my best friend, the only two who wasn't drunk was I and the guy I thought was cute. well, my friend got really drunk, so I took her to our tent to sleep. and I came back out and stay with the rest. I sat next to the guy I thought was cute, he had been giving me the eyes all day, so I thought talking to him wouldn't hurt. So we started talking, and found out we got a lot in command. It was then that I realize my friend was laughing and giggling from our tent. I look over to the guy Tony, the guy I like and he was also looking at me too. He was like did you hear that? and I nod my head. I got up and went to check on my friend. But when I got in I ask her why was she laughing, and she said she wasn't laughing. So I ask her if she was okay, and she said she was okay. So I return and sit with Tony again. by then everyone was already going to their tent. so we were alone. He asks me if I was cold and I said a little. So he took off his jacket and put it on me. I tough it was sweet, but we started hearing my friend moaning, this time Tony and I both went and check on my friend, once again she said she wasn't moaning, and that she was okay. So we came back and sat down by the fire place again. it was later that we heard my friend moaning again, so I decided to go sleep, he walk me to the tent and kissed me goodnight on my cheeks. when I unzip the tent, my friend stop moaning, I crawl in and ask if she was hurt or sick, and she said no. So I just lay down next to her. Just when I started falling asleep, I felt someone trying to take my pants off, I open my eyes and saw a dark figure over me, I knew it wasn't my friend, cause I can still feel her sour beer breathes next to me, I scream. It happens so fast, by the time I know I was already outside shaking in Tony's arm. the fire was alive again, everyone was up, even my friend. I told everyone what happen. We all crawl into the biggest tent and squeeze in there. I lay next to Tony, who held me in his arms all night. The next morning we woke up and rush back home. Two days later me best friend started getting sick. We took her to the hospital, but the doctor said they don't know what's wrong with her. She was in the hospital for three months. I went and visit her as often as I can, since college had started too, I didn't have much time. I move in and live with Tony. We started dating after the camp. One night while I went and watch my friend, I heard her moaning and groaning. I open my eyes and I saw a dark figure our her. I scream and doctors rush in, I didn't tell them what happen, but I told them I heard her groaning. my friend was looking at me with eyes that still hunts me, she knows I saw it. The next morning, my friend past away. It was after her funeral, that I told Tony what happen. We both believe that whatever had happened at camp, was what cause her death. wether you believe it or not, its what really happen. I am 24 now, me and Tony are planning to get marry on Christmas 2005. believe it or not, this is true, this is what really happen to my friend. I've never been on a camping trip since then, it was my first and my last. I'm never going camping anywhere again. Fiance and I went to Ibiza, Spain with 5 other couples (friends). Absolute fun. Lots of partying, getting drunk, and great nights. Sounds good? 2 days before heading back to the states, was feeling really tired.. spent a good time with fiance in jacuzzi..and he gives me a massage.. i fall asleep... Wake up.. he's not around, . mind you it's 3 a.m. i walk outside, and right in front of the hotel he's arguing with a woman with a 3 yr old child. Yeah, turns out to be his other affair and his daughter that i've never heard of before and confesses he still loves her... - |
| My grandparents used to live in Germany. They paid for me and my best friend to visit. While there they paid for us to go on a weekend trip to Paris with a tour company. How sweet of them. During this weekend my friend and I had the wonderful opportunity to go and see a show at the Moulin Rouge with some of the other people on the tour/trip. After an AWESOME show we split into two groups and got into two different taxi cabs. The group I wasn't in found a taxi pretty quick and left before my group had found a free taxi. Once in the taxi the 4 people in my group realized we hadn't written down the address to the Holiday Inn we were staying in. On top of that the taxi driver was a woman from Spain who only spoke Spanish and French. Did anyone in our group speak Spanish? Of course not. Did anyone in our group speak French? Only I did. And trust me even after 4 semesters in high school, I'm not all that fluent. So here I am, crammed in the back seat with two overweight people (I was the skinniest of the group), trying to explain to the driver that we didn't know the exact address of the hotel. I did however tell her the name of the hotel. Now...she had a machine in the taxi that she entered the name of the hotel into. This machine gave her two locations. Neither of the two addresses sounded familiar. So I told her that neither were correct. About that time one of the guys in my group thought he remembered the address and gave it to her. She put it in and the machine gave her a match. So we were off. While driving this machine would give her directions. It would say "at the end of this road turn right (or left)." Of course it was saying this all in French - therefore, of the group, I was the only one who understood the directions. There were a number of times that the machine would tell her to turn right and she'd turn left and visa versa. We went around this one particular block like 3 times. Obviously she was trying to run up the meter on us. Eventually though we got to the location that the machine gave her. This place was in a small, one way street, back alley next to some houses. Definitely was not a Holiday Inn. So I tell the woman this wasn't the place. She got pissed off. She drove around aimlessly for awhile and eventually used a cell phone and called...well I guess the guy was her boss. Thank God this guy could speak English. So we told him that we couldn't recall the address and, being very cooperative, he looked up the address of the Holiday Inns that were located in Paris. He gave us the two addresses that the woman's machine originally did. Well neither of those were correct. The guy didn't know what else to do though. He and the woman argued on the phone for a good while.& nbsp; Once the phone was given back to us we talked to the guy and agreed to go to one of the two Holiday Inns that had been listed on the direction giving machine. It took us FOREVER to get there and when we did the woman turned to me and cussed me out. Everyone in the car was just looking at her completely dumbfounded - obviously they knew she was mad but they had no idea what she was saying. She was mad because she thought that we had lied to her about this not being the correct address. She said that if I had just told her to go here to begin with then she wouldn't have had to drive everywhere. Well she obviously didn't understand that this wasn't the right Holiday Inn. We were simply going here to get them to find the address of the place where we had a room. Well, we had planned on paying her regardless of how high the meter was. But after her cussing me out for no reason, we all got out of the taxi and walked into the hot el without paying her. She yelled at us from the taxi but we didn't care. The people in the Holiday Inn called around to every Holiday Inn that surrounded the city limits and finally found the right location. The reason the woman's machine didn't find the right address was because the hotel we were in was located right outside of the city limits. The people called us a cab and we were finally on our way back to the hotel. The scary part was that the second cab driver was a man who was from Spain....he only spoke Spanish and French. When we found this out the 4 of us gave a sarcastic laugh and didn't say another word the entire ride home. We should have been back to the hotel at about 1am. We got there around 3 or 4am. We had to get up at 7 to finish the last day of the tour. -Leland - |
| I had the worst vacation ever!!! It happened this summer when me and my family went to Florida. It was my parents , my brother his girl friend my sister her boyfriend and my Cousin who's a women and her friend. we rented a house and everything was fun until my cousin went too far with her jokes she had told us that a men that she knew has invited her along with us to a sweet 16 . we then told her that if was ok to bring three more people so she said yes that she's going to let the sweet 16 birthdays girl fathers know. So at the day of the sweet 16 party we all went all eleven people I say eleven because that same day my cousin said that she was not going to go because she did not have time to do her hair. So we eleven of us went because we thought it was sad that a party would be waiting for us and they would be expecting twelve people and that we don't go would be very messed up. Let me just add that we don't know anyone in the party it was very high class place. Well when it was time for us to look for names on the table none of it was there not even my cousin's she had lied because not even us was invited only her brother who was not there we all looked like fools and the father of the birthday girl had to get so many chairs and tried to fit us in a table anyway's we were so embarrassed. - |
| This disaster happened when was when I as 8, I am now 12 but I remember it like it was yesterday!! we were going to Oregon from Seattle, WA so its not to long and bad of a drive. But being the Washington weather we have, it was pouring down rain. on the way down, the passenger seats window broke and we had to tape on saran rap for the time being. then when we got there we me and my sister wanted to go swimming at the outdoor pool at the hotel but we couldn't because it was closed due to the wet outdoors. in the middle of our only 3 day trip, my sister got the chicken pox. if you think it doesn't think again!!! then i got chicken pox. all of those events happened in only 3 days and that was my worst vacation ever!!! -anonymous - |
| I was 18 years old and had just graduated from high school. As a tribute to us turning 18, and getting our diplomas, my best friend and I decided to shell out $150 and go to Woodstock '99. The only problem was after we bought the tickets, we had no clue how to get there. Luckily for us, a couple other girls that we graduated with were also going, so we caught a ride with them. After a 15 hour car ride, we finally made it to Rome, NY. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, it was pitch black, and we had to set our tents up in the dark. So, we parked the car, and hiked the mile or so to a vacant area that we could set up our tents. In the darkness, my best friend and I hadn't realized that we set our tent up right on top of a large tree root, so since that was the only spot left, we had to sleep like that every night. Not that we could sleep much anyway. Every tent in the area except for ours got robbed, girls were getting raped in the mosh pit at the main stage (it happened so frequently that one of the bands actually stopped playing to try to calm the crowd down and stop assualting the women), and if you made it to the mosh pit, you ran the risk of getting severely injured from all the bottles people were throwing into the area. The main problem was that with all the people who were at Woodstock, there should have been ample security, but since security was just volunteers in orange t-shirts, after the first day these security people decided they wanted to party too, and just took their security shirts off. The rest of the trip was bedlam. They ran out of overpriced water and food, so even if you had wanted to pay 10 dollars for a burrito, there weren't any left. The port-a-potties were overflowing, which was flowing downhill into the concert area (The mud people weren't rolling in mud. It was human waste). It was 95 degrees every day, there was no water except the few drinking fountains that still actually worked, and it was amazingly hot. It was dusty and filthy, and the showers that had been so conveniently provided were being used as a place for everyone to have sex. Someone fell off one of the towers by the main stage, and people wouldn't even move to let an ambulance through. The worst part was that we paid $150 to be there! By the last day, we decided to head home. We actually left before some people set the place on fire and the national guard was called in. It was an experience to remember, but one I'd kind of like to forget. - |
| Hi my name is Kayleigh, and my family and I were going on our family vacation to New York when suddenly, we were going to the rest area, but we didn't see our Aunt Becky and mom not there yet. We had found out that we should go back down there and wait. But, not a moment too soon, they were in a car crash by a know-it-all hummer driver. I was balling my eyes out. I was so scared. They took my mom to the hospital to get some information on her. I was still scared. Now, my mom is still a little in pain, but she is doing fine. Her boyfriend is in jail, though. I think my mom is having bad luck this year. At least I think, anyway. - |
| Well, we went up to this cabin in the Pocono Mts. There was this beautiful lake to swim in, we were staying in a huge log cabin with out relatives, and there were many attractions nearby. As an added bonus, my uncle was an expert about the area. OK, so here's the vacation day-by-day: Day 1 (Sunday)- Up @ 6:AM, pack, clean, and leave @ noon, drive for 4 1/2 hours to POconos (supposed to be 3 hours away but we got lost) Finally arrive @ cabin only to find that it is a LOT smaller in real life than in the picture that we saw. Not enough beds, some people had to sleep on cots. The blankets that were provided were damp and smelled incredibly musty. Day 2- Up at 9:30, go to beautiful lake, found out that the lake is being dredged, so there was no floating dock to sit out on. Had to be content with sitting on rocky shore. When we finally went into the water, we found out that the bottom was pure mush and slime. DiSgUsTiNg!! Ended up walking home late in the day and finding out that there is a hole in the basement, making the whole house cold @ night. Go to sleep unde damp blankets (courtesy of the horrible humidity), and get eaten alive by misquitos in our sleep. Day 3- Wake-up to screaming. Find out that bear is outside our house, rummaging through the garbage cans. Discover that running water is slightly cloudy and tastes like wet metal. Go to go-kart place for excitement, find out that everything is broken and have to leave early. 9did we mention that the go-kart place was 45 minutes away? What a waste!) Get home, start fire for hotdogs, and accidently melt a plastic power ranger toy in the fire. Day 4- Go to water park. Youngest one hurts his leg on rough side of the pool. Daughter's bathing suit top nearly flies off on one ride. Get away with 5 people on a 4 person tube ride and practically flip over halfway down the ride. Go home tired, order out for food. Son and daughter get into huge fight. Day 5- Cousin and sons kill all the ferns by the house in a rough game of football. Screamed at by uncle. Sit around doing nothing because no one wants to go anywhere. Day 6- Go see worst movie ever March of the Penguins. Whole family laughs ridiculously during the movie causing us to be thrown out of the theater. Get home to find that other car will not start. Has to be towed down to only garage in area, for a ridiculous cost. Go to sleep without dinner. Day 7- ( day we will leave)- up @ 6:00 AGAIN!! Have to clean whole housw. Oldest son discovers iPod charger is missing. Can't find it. While cleaning out my bedroom, I find a poisonous snake under the bed. snake is about 8" long. Everyone gets freaked out. Discover that car is not working again. Have to wait 6 hours before we can leave. To top off this fiasco of a trip, youngest pukes his guts out in the car. AGHHHHHH!! - |
| When I went with my parents to Orlando,Florida for the hundredth time, we had paid for a vacation package. Even though for the past years we had always just paid ourselves a hotel room and the admissions.The day of the actual vacation, we went to the resort they had already reserved a big room for us. They looked up our names on the computer but they still couldn't find us. We even used my name and my two cousins that went with my parents and me on the computer. They finally reached the office in Miami and they said that they had called us at 5 am in the morning saying that the vacation had been canceled. But the truth was they never called because we left at 6 am in the morning. My parents cursed them and everything. Until finally they let us go to another hotel. It was on the other side of the city, but we had taken our own car. There my dad and I asked if we were in their waiting list and they said yes but we had to go to the other sister hotel. That was only about a mile away. There they finally told us that that was our hotel. We called back the agency and they apologized. We just had to wait for three hours while they cleaned out our room because the old visitors there had just left. Even though it was my parents, my two cousins, and me, we all fit inside the room because I got the sofa fold-out bed and the other four shared two beds. At least we got to go to Disney and had a good time, but at least they didn't rob our money neither!! - |
| In the Summer 2005 I went to Italy for two weeks.It was awesome! But it was also horrible. At the airport when we arrived it took about 2 hours to get the stinking rental cars. There were about a half a million bees and we were in the middle of nowhere. That's not the worst part. This lady kept telling me what to do and kept thinking she was the boss. Nothing was close by though it looked that was on the map. But the worst day was probably the day we went to Piza. We rented a bus to drive us to Rome because we had 36 people with us and we kept getting lost by ourselves.The Bus driver was such a jerk. He started arguing with my God Father. And we ended up going to Piza. We had about 3 other arguments. One with some guy selling stuff. Another with some scary looking waiter and the last on other with a Russian tourist who was a big jerk. Anyway, we got completely lost on the way home and it took us about 4 hours. Then, we find out my Godfathers son had to go to the hospital to get stitches after falling down some cement steps. - |
| I'm 15 and my family and I went to the beach for vacation during this fall break. I was looking forward to sleeping in and relaxing on the beach. At 4:00, on the 2nd morning we were at the beach, a fire alarm went off sounding, "May I have your attention, please? A fire has been reported on your floor.Evacuate by attending the stairs. Do not use the elevator." I was terrified. My family and I panicked as we evacuated the building. The fire truck came like 30 minutes later. Thank goodness there was no fire to be found. Something in the control room had just overheated. Though, I was frusterated for being woke up that early in the morning to a false fire alarm, so much for sleeping in! - |
| Ok, so were on the road in a swanky saloon car on our way to Boston when the car breakes down on the highway. its 2 am and there are hardly any cars and were on the edge of a cliff, looking down on da ocean. then mom leans over to get something off of the dashboard when the car starts to tip. so we all scream and jump out the car and watches it fall into the sea. 3 seconds later theres a massive splash. So were here, stranded, the cell phone's in the car when a nice guys comes along, says need a lift? we all nod our heads, jump into the truck and were on our way to Boston. I will never forget the day our beloved car fell down - Anonymous - |
| I'm 13. last year I went on a weekend vacation with my family. My parents decided that It would be nice to go to the deleware river. So after a few hours of Drving we arrived at our campsite/trailerpark. When we pulled in with our car it didn't look so bad. Once we got out of the car we started looking for the front desk. As we were serching we passed by a shed, my brother make a joke about what if that was our room. Ten minutes later we found out that it actualy was our room. So crammed in an un-aircondidtioned shed with my mom, my dad, my two sisters, and my brother. My parents slept on the table and me and my brother shared a bunk. A few time I almost cut my head off because the fan was right over the top bunk. So my dad, now trying to be as oppimistic as possible decide that we should go rafting conisidering we were right ashore from the deleware river. 10 minutes in to the rafting "extraviganza" we had to lift the raft over our heads and carry it b ecause the water was so low, 2 miles later and cut up feet we got to a docking station where we called for a ride back to our shed. That was a vacation from hell, not to help anymore everybody was in a pissy mood because my dad didn't want to spend 10 bucks to get a bigger shack. - by Aaron - |
| So I went recently to California and Mexico, where I was born, for a family vacation. Well it turned out that we ended up in California just when they were having there never ending rain storm, where there were floods and mudslides and people dying. So not only were most things closed, but you couldn't see anything, driving down the road was like driving a hybrid boat car. I never even knew there were hills in the distance till the day we left when it cleared up a bit. The only saving grace was the rental car we had, had that "never get lost" thing. So we leave California early cause it was just not worth it and we move down to Mexico. The weather was better not rain, but cool. We went to a few markets, which got really boring after awhile and then we were off to get tickets to the Ballet Folklorico, the only reason we were staying through a Sunday in the first place. Well we get to the theater and its closed so we go to the info building and they say they are closed for renovations for 3 months and the Ballet is not at the university like it always said it would be if they closed. The worst part was there were no signs and the local English paper, which was that particular days paper didn't say anything about it being closed, in fact it said there were open and to go see the show. Well we left Mexico early as well. It just wasn't a good trip. - Anonymous |
| My worst vacation was when we took a family trip and my boyfriend came along with us. We were madly in love. When we arrived at the hotel, We put our luggage in the room. On the way driving to the hotel, I made a wish to myself, and that was: I wish it takes a long time going back home because I want to spend all the time I can before the weekend was over. Well, after that wish, I was for sure that it would happen. So at the hotel, In the pool, My man is flirting with 2 white girls in bikinis. I WAS VERY HEATED!!!! My dad told him to have fun. So basically, NO ONE CARED BUT ME!!!!! I the whole time we were down there, I could not eat at all. I was so paranoid. I could not eat at all. All I could do was be angry. Then on top of that, when they were in the pool, I went to look through his cellphone. I saw the numbers of girls and everything. So, I tried not to shed a tear. But anyway, when we were going back home, it took forever because of the traffic. At first I was happy! My wish was coming true. Then I wanted to have a talk with my baby. Although we were ignoring each other at the trip. He told me that he was going to go to sleep. So I said "OKAY" a few minutes later, his cell phone rang!!! He was talking to another girl. When we made a stop at the gas station, He got out to go to the store, I gave him the condoms back. He seemed not to care. He was on the damn cell phone. After we came back to DC, we dropped him off. He asked for a hug from me, I gave him a hug but I didn't hug him like I really wanted to. He asked me was I ok. I said "YES" I lied about that one. So like two weeks later, My cousin through a party, and he was there. That day, He and I talked out everything. And we started back doing this right.. The lesson I learned was to be careful of what you wish for. - KIKI |
| I originally live in Florida and had gone on a vacation to visit family in Iowa. While I was visiting, my cousin asked if I would like to spend a night at her apartment. My cousin is not the cleanest person in the world, but still, I agreed and said yes. At the time, there was another couple living in the house with her, her baby, and her baby's daddy. My cousin wanted me to have a good nights rest and told me to sleep in the guest room. I had asked her if the other couple was actually staying in that room and she said yes. I felt kind of bad, but didnt bother saying anything. I work up the next morning to find myself covered in cat hair. It was discusting. To make matters worse, I asked my cousin if the bedsheets had been cleaned before I came over. She went on to tell me that the couple had sex in the room the night before. I felt discusted. To make matters worse, I had been constipated for about 3 days and I had finally been able to go to the bathroom, at my cousins apartment. When I went to flush the toilet i realized that it was clogged. I was sooo imbarrased. I waited a couple of more minutes and tried flushing the toilet for a second time. Nothing would go down. I had to wake up my cousin from her nap, ask her what I should do. She woke up her boyfriend and told him to go clean it. I sat on the couch while he decided what to do. He walked out of the kitchen with a baby bottle scrubber and said "I hope this works." At that point I forget it, I would just ask gramma tonight to get us a plunger. My gramma and I went to the dollar store that day and she bought a plunger. "Please dont give it to them tonight when we eat dinner," I said. She didnt see why she couldn't. So after dinner my grandma says, " Oh cassie, dont forget to take the plunger home with you guys when you leave." I felt soo stupid, seeing that I clogged her toilet, but I will never ask how they ended up unclogging the toilet. - Kate |
| One summer, my family and I went to the Adirondacks. It seemed like it was going to be a fun trip. We were going for a whole week and planed a hike, canoe ride, and fishing on the lake. I got up one night and had to go to the bathroom that was located about 30 yards from our site. I had to go bad enough that I ventured out and made my way to the girls room when I smelled an awful odor. I had come across a skunk and did not even notice it! Obviously he noticed me, and my family noticed that I met a skunk when I got back. I smelled for over a week! - Bethany, NY |
| The worst vacation was to a cottage me and my family rented. It was terrible! First when we arrived it was pouring rain and our cabin was locked so we waited in the pouring rain(our truck was in the parking lot). Finally we got in to see a huge ant nest in the corner of the room, when one came out my dad smacked as hard as he could but it just kept walking! They were the size of a coacroch! It was sick! When we were getting ready for bed a ANT CRAWLED OUT OF THE SINK! Then when i went to bed i woke up with 3 spiders next to me! Then when i went to have a shower there were those huge ants all over the tile and a spider web with a spider in it in the corner of the shower. Later on at the beach i was digging a hole in the sand with my brother when i dug up a yellow stinky sock!!!! And when our neighbor asked me to go tubing for my first time i accepted. When i went he did 6 donuts in a row to see on the 4 one i was in the water with a bloody nose! On the way back out of the boat i slipped and went right into the gross boat water! ewwwwww..... Then finally i got out to see my brand new bathing suit BROWN! ewwwwww......That night i went out to go swimming, when i was in the water this little kid thought i was his brother and picked up a handful of gooy muck and through it at me And guess what it landed right in my face. when i got it all out i realized my bathing suit top had a hole in both armpits! Gosh! Then then the next day we were leaving and while saying bi i ran into the side of my truck! Thank god im never going back! - Julia |
| During my vacation last year, we went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. My bathing suit was a little big on me, and i wore it the whole time i was there. The problem was whenever i went into the ocean, I sat in the sand and laid in the water and sand got in my bikini top and it weighed it down so i went in the deep part and a current washed my bikini top away but luckily it didn't wash it away to far away cause my whole family were there. Not very many saw it though - Chandra |
| I was visiting Florida for spring break with my family, we decided to drive down to Key Largo ( a 7 hr. drive from where we were staying) so while we were down there we decided to go snorkeling where I got stung by a jellyfish. At the end of the night we walked back to the car that we borrowed from a friend, and of course... the car won't start, it was an old car and it had an old security lock, we waited 3 hours for a tow truck and it took him 3 hours to figure out what was wrong with the car, so we got the tow truck to drive us back for 700 bucks in which there was only 2 seat ( one for the driver and one passenger) there were for of us so my brother and sat on a bench which was right above the engine and was about 200 degrees - Anonymous |

| Two summers ago my family took a vacation to the Ozark Mountains, and I took a friend along. We didn't really plan ahead, so after the 7 hour drive to Missouri, we had to drive alllll around Osage Beach looking for a hotel. The first night we had to stay in a really crappy/creepy motel, until we found a good one the next night. I don't really tan that easily, so I didn't use any suncreen at all the whole time we were up in the mountains. Big mistake. I ended up getting soooooo burned. I was as red as a lobster and people stared at me everywhere I went, and they kept saying things like, "Oh my god! You are SO burned!" It was pretty embarassing. Then my face ended up being really swollen underneath my eyes and I had blisters on my nose that kept popping. Even my lips were so burned, they were swollen to about the size of...well, I don't know what. Finally, my whole entire face peeled. Then during the whole drive back, my little 3 year old sister thought it would be fun to keep hitting me on my sunburned arm. And to top it all off, we went through the worst storm ever on the way home. The people on the radio were telling drivers to pull over and find a ditch or something, but my dad kept driving. It was pretty scary. - Anonymous |
