re: What is the worst vacation you've ever been on...

My dad wanted to do this whole wilderness fishing trip in Canada one summer.

I'm 15, just getting my first piece of steady snizz so I didn't want to go. Get to Canada, pig out at some Italian restaurant with garlic cheese bread on flow. Get in the rental car and about 2 hours in to our 4 hour ride I get the bubble guts and we had to pull into a rest stop that's closed. Crap my brains out in the bushes. Get to the fishing camp w/no tv. Every time we had to fish, we had to ride atv's for 2 miles down trails where every couple hundred yards we had to stop to move logs and pick up the boat trailer to get around blockages. Carry the boat and motor down a rocky bank, put the boat in the water then hook the motor up to the back of the boat. Every time on the lake we were chased by clouds of mosquitos. It was awful.

I went to Disney World a while back, it was definitely hot and a lot of walking, but we had a good time. The only thing that comes to mind as far as bad vacation, my family went tubing down the Tangipahoa river back in the late 70's and I got bit by a water moccasin while walking through the woods to my step-father's truck.

This for me as well. My dad was like Clark Griswold, shite was always going wrong.

Went to Panama City one year with a friend and his wife and they brought several other friends of theirs that I had never met. They were ALL complete douchebags. The weather sucked. I was mostly stuck in a condo with a bunch of people I couldn't stand. I pretended to be sick and went home early.

Went to New Mexico (forget where exactly) with the family for a ski trip towards the end of March one year because they said they still had snow...we get there and they have no snow. Nothing to do around that place but go to flea markets. Spent an entire week there doing that.

Well, when a man and woman love each other very much...

Hot Springs and Branson are some of may happiest memories as a child. Obviously it's not the same once you grow up, but as a kid, I loved those vacations.

Heck, I remember my grandparents taking us up to El Dorado and staying at a Best Western (probably so my parents could bang now that I look back) a few times. That hotel had the coolest pool and putt putt green. I think it's an Econo Lodge now.

Pulling over and asking directions was the worst sin according to my father.

Group cruise with a bunch of friends. Wife was PMSing and extremely moody. Spent 4 days in cabin arguing with her. Worst vacation ever. Told her never again would I be locked in a tiny room on a ship with her again.
