    Dancing Chocobo THE WORST VACATION

    So far on my vacation I have:

    Fallen down the stairs
    Flown into Belfast during the worst snowstorm in years
    Lost power
    Been housebound during the worst snowstorm in years

    Huxley and I have been occupying ourselves with freaking crossword puzzles.

    Tell us about your vacations gone wrong!

    Bet it was restful and relaxing
    Forward, the Light Brigade!'
    Was there a man dismay'd?
    Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
      Some one had blunder'd:
    Theirs not to make reply,
    Theirs not to reason why,
    Theirs but to do and die:
    Into the valley of Death
      Rode the six hundred.


    Cannon to right of them,
    Cannon to left of them,
    Cannon in front of them
      Volley'd and thunder'd;
    Storm'd at with shot and shell,
    Boldly they rode and well,
    Into the jaws of Death,
    Into the mouth of Hell
      Rode the six hundred.

    Had the runs while at the Grand Canyon. Cleared the bathroom there. Probably could have filled up the whole canyon.

    I once was in a fist fight with a family member on Christmas eve in Mexico (thanks tequila) but we laughed about it the next day... that may be the worst moment, but I can't really think of a vacation I have taken as being bad. They were all, especially Mexico, a lot of fun.

    Boldly go.

    Well, I was young when this happened, so I was with my family. So I guess my story is WORSE now! However, I don't mind traveling with my family. I actually was sick throughout most of the trip. Basically a family road trip turned into a running gag of how many states I would throw up in.

    On the way back to Illinois we were driving through Missouri. Then my mom said, "Missouri loves company."

    This is the goddamn definition of doing it wrong.

    Haven't had a terrible vacation yet.

    Haven't had many vacations.

    Nothing horrible really. But recently I had 10 days holiday, but I set my expectations too high or something. And before that I had always thought I'm immune to holiday stress, thought that silliness couldn't happen to me. I was like "Must...have....fun" but couldn't.
    It was pretty horrible afterall. S:

    Went camping with some friends (it counts because it was hours away) and went off-roading and somehow got a nail in my blazer tire.

    My vacations have generally been pretty awesome!

    In Egypt, I had an argument with Ewa because I wouldn't let her drive a dune buggy when she had no glasses on and hadn't put her contacts in that morning. She legally needs either/or to drive as she is blind as a smurfing earthworm. It was followed swiftly by 2 more arguments which pretty much ruined the holiday for me, one was her accusing me of wanting to be with the other Eastern European girl we got talking to out there, said girl, Kristina was with her boyfriend at the same hotel. Another was her bitching about how the waiter at a restaurant pulled her chair out for her and I don't do things like that. We were back in the UK for less than 2 weeks when she left me for the guy she'd been cheating on me with for months.

    Two years ago I took my first, and so far only, vacation away from work, and did nothing but sit around my house and play Resident Evil 4 and think about how I suck at planning things.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    That's a pretty good game to be stuck at home playin' though.

    I'm trying to think of any really bad things that have happened to me on vacations, but I'm mostly coming up blank. There have been bad spots, like getting stung by a jellyfish or sea nettles, I don't know which, while camping with the family once. That hurt like hell for a few hours, but then it was okay. Any bad time I ever had on a vacation when I was younger could probably be chalked up to being pouty or not getting my way or something. But mostly it's good memories.

    I have not had many vacations at all. Last year I missed my plane to SFO so didn't get to hang out with Del and Hannah for the day like we had planned, that sucked pretty badly (although the rest of the trip was great).

    I dislike most "holidays" because they involve spending a lot of time and money to visit my in-laws, when I would prefer to either be alone (I usually spend "Thanksgiving" alone), or to see my family (an impossibility).
