    My old step-father ruined all of my vacations as a kid. We once went to Disney World in Florida and he somehow managed to ruin the happiest place on earth. I trout you not he was so cheap he actually said this;

    "Food? You want food again? We just drank water four hours ago?! How could you be hungry?!"

    Seriously.

    Anyway as for my adult vacations... they've been few and far between but ok so far. I intend to take Nikki and Haiden to places and not be a bag of dicks about it like my 'rolemodels' were.

    I also intend to take a few on my own to get some solitude, I was an only child with few friends (so I basically grew up on my own) and I need to be alone once in a while.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I really haven't traveled much other than to visit my mom or sharky. Going to visit my mom is usually awkward, uncomfortable, and frustrating.

    that time me and my sister went to a cottage near Wasagi (Balm Beach/Ossosane) and we found a journal/guestbook; wrote a nice little thank you in the nice but naive way kids have;

    dad found it, gave us trout to beat the band, couldn't write his own (some kind of free verse about flying, i doubt he allowed me to read it, or if I did i don't remember a thing about it) but lose quoted a few parts she kinda remembered

    something like

    flight above the landscape
    air whistling by my ears
    it's beautiful up here etc.

    nice enough, he could have gotten better with time!

    but yeah
    he had about 50 million drafts, there were pages all over the place
    but then he gave us trout again
    the end.

    I seen the news report tonight and it looks like lapland up there. :/

    Can't really say I've had a bad holiday but when I was 11 we went to Florida. I caught a vomiting bug and would just continuously get sick for about 3 or 4 days straight. I remember we were on space mountain and I got sick. I trout you not. Good times.

    When we went to Hawaii, BJ cut his big toe pretty bad and sunburned the tops of his feet. Didn't really hinder our funtimes though. I've never had a vacation that wasn't fabulous.

    I had an anime con in Nashville during a massive flood throughout the state that killed multiple people and couldn't escape. Thankfully the con area was okay,but I was stuck in a building filled with costumed nerds (like myself) for a while.

    A few years ago, a few of us went to Spain for five days. We went in April and hoped the weather would be nice for us. It was not. Rain and cloud for 5 days then the day we were due to fly back... this happened.

    Iceland volcano erupts: Travel advice for UK air passengers | Mail Online

    A holiday that was supposed to last 5 days ended up lasting 3 weeks. This would have been fine if we had not spent all our money on those first five days. I suppose we were quite fortunate as we already had free accomodation. As soon as the volcano erupted, the sun came out for the remaining two-and-a-half weeks of our time there which was a bonus.

    We were literally stuck though. No planes home. Eurostar wanted to charge us around £2000. The ferrys were an absolute joke. Unless you were stuck yourselves, no-one can understand how stressful it was trying to get home. We thought we'd be there for months. I was contemplating buying a cheap guitar so I could go busking.

    Oh man! That makes me think!

    My REAL worst vacation:

    We flew to PA for my grandma's 70th surprise birthday party. We were further surprise. I know it sounds selfish, but at this point I was already pissed because I had to miss two VERY big choir things in the span of 4 days. On top of that, my boyfriend of a year and I had broken up just a couple days before. Then, I get the stomach flu from my uncle. So, the birthday party my parents MADE me go to (I wanted to go, but I really wanted to do my choir thing as well--plus, it was for a grade) I missed, because every time I got out of bed I puked everywhere.

    Laddy;
    I remember that flood, it sucked except for the badass rafting me and my friends did that week down a creek.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I once went to Florida, where I made the tragic mistake of stepping outside of the hotel room and into the harsh light of day. I was unable to move for the following week due to the resulting sunburn
