re: Worst Travel Experience

My worst travel experience was on my first honeymoon, the trip shouldve let me know that the marriage was doomed.

Flight from btr to atl was delayed, we finally get to Atlanta, sprint across the airport to make our connecting flight to san jose and get to the gate just as they are closing the doors. Next flight was in about 8 hours, so we spent the first day of our honeymoon in the Atlanta airport.

Finally get to Costa Rica, first day there, walking around and end up at a little market. Buy some "weed", which very well couldve been grass, lol. Find a park bench, in a big "concrete" park (which turned out to be some national museum) and try to smoke out of this shitty pipe we bought and it was windy, so we struggled. A dude comes over and tries to sell us some more, like pestering us. I see police roll up, so i take out my camera and walk away from the situation and play tourist while dropping the bag i have next to a tree.

None of the cops speak English, im trying in my best broken spanish to tell them we have nothing and this dude is the one they want. After about an hour they take the dude in their paddy wagon and drive off and we walk back to our hotel (i went back and got the bag, lol).

A few minutes later the dude shows up at our hotel and starts hollering at us about him getting in trouble with the cops, luckily the hotel had security and escorted him away.

We went to the rainforest for a few days and everything was cool and then we went to tortugero to a small resort. First night there we get really drunk and pass out in our room. My bride wakes up in the middle of the night all freaked out, but she doesnt know why. We get up in the morning and turns out some local villagers cut the screen on our window and had robbed us. Apparently she had woken up and scared them and they only made off with one of our bags, which so happen to have our passports in it, but didnt get our wallets and drivers licenses. The german tourists in the bungalow next to ours had everything they had with them taken.

Had to leave tortugero 2 days early to head back to san jose to go to the US embassy to get temporary passports to fly home. Was quite nerve racking since the cops we meet earlier in the trip kept telling us they were gonna turn our names into the embassy.

Somehow that marriage lasted a few more years, but that should of been a huge red flag for the relationship.
