Our fridge in the camper quit working, so all of the food spoiled, a storm had come through before we left and hadn't done much damage...so we thought. As we drove home in the SD wind the wind tore the awning from the side of the camper (WHILE it was rolled), the wind was so strong our vehicle struggled to pull the camper home, there ended up being a crack opened up by the storm we didn't know about so when it rained that night...I got wet! Then somehow the camper caught enough wind it directed it into the box of the truck and blew some things out. We were never so happpy to get back home from Vacation! It was a very expensive vacatiuon!Danellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292815564295120680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-55673480178795306412010-07-21T11:59:10.105-06:002010-07-21T11:59:10.105-06:00Love the book ideas!

Finally get to Mexico, only to be given rooms at the resort, that should of been condemned, (mold all over walls, drapes hanging from the windows, doors all chewed up and missing pieces, and to top that we had a bloody handprint on the bathroom wall) and that wasn't even the worst of the two rooms. So the next day we had to pay more for two more rooms, but we got two great rooms. Only to get sick, one at a time. Throughout the hotel you could hear people wretching from from to room. The whole resort was ill, violently. For 3 days we could do nothing, then we needed to get something to eat-not at the resort of course. And we had to pay for it, in more ways than one.

I love the buttons too cute.<br /><br />The Best/Worst Travel Evperience: is to Outer Banks North Carolina<br /><br />The worst one was my very first year. I spent my whole vacation visiting their emergency clinic for two brown recluse spider bites that were on my legs. They were so bad that there was talk about them being amputatied if they didn't heal up. <br /><br />Thankfully they did heal and I've been back there many times after that and everytime was just wonderful so much fun that in 2007 my husband and I were married there on the beach in Buxton by the Lighthouse and it was a beautiful day that day before and the day we got married that Carolina wind kicked up and let's just say our first kiss as husband and wife was a little crunchy!!!!<br /><br /><br />Which is fine because it was funny and we're a happy couple.<br /><br />Take Care.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154168438865884958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-39704574937046709482010-07-21T08:54:28.041-06:002010-07-21T08:54:28.041-06:00Honeymoon, 1989.

After waiting for the seatbelt light to go off, and the mad rush of people who beat me out to the bathroom, I finally got in. In my hurry to get my skirt up, pantyhose down, I forgot to lock the door...some poor gentleman got the surprise of his life when he opened the door. Talk about embarrassed!!!

Worst travel nightmare...travelin...Love the album!<br /><br />Worst travel nightmare...traveling to Tennessee in October. All the hotels were books & when we finally found one we had to share a kingsize waterbed with my mother, son and his Corky doll who looked like Chucky. This happened twice during this trip. Then we rented a uhaul car top carrier to bring our stuff home as we had a small car & bought too much. One night before leaving Knoxville, we pulled into a little mall to have supper only to come out & find our car top carrier half off the car. Someone had tried to steal it while we were eating. We called the police & Uhaul who sent help & had to empty the carrier in the middle of the parking lot to lift it back on. What a nightmare of a trip. Good thing we could laugh about it later.doverdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314443446800793699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-7259933097581928262010-07-21T07:59:33.064-06:002010-07-21T07:59:33.064-06:00Worst trip ever, was the cruise from hell. "...Worst trip ever, was the cruise from hell. "Won" a trip to the Bahamas. As we are standing in line to board, everyone in our line is told that there is some mix up and we all have to pay first, then get reimbursed, (that should of clued us in, but no we go ahead and go). They give us all a motion sickness pill with our breakfast (2nd clue). Then we settle in for a 5 hour cruise to our destination. The waves start to hit us, and my daughter starts to get sick. While I am getting her to the restroom one of many times, someone runs in and vomits all over the back of me, which makes me start and not stop for the next hour or so. My son is sick all over the lobby, the crew is in our bathroom sick. I'm sobbing, my kids are crying. Someone tells us to get outside and my daughter and I find a place to sit (up on top of the a 4 foot cabinet). I shimmy her up, but being 5' tall and weak, from being ill, can not get up there. Two very nice people help me up there, and we fall asleep. My husband and son are down below still. The trip is cut short, as to get everyone to the island fast. We get into a limo (I have always wanted to ride in one) with 12 other puke sodden people, with no air conditioning. We get to sit on a 2x4 for a seat. We get to the hotel, and have to pay for everything, towels, food, transportation everywhere, because we are in the middle of nowhere. And yes, they have not heard of this "free" vacation yet. We have no hot water for the 3 days we are there. We have to climb back on board for the 5 hour trip back. I wanted to fly, but we had, at that time, no money to spare for it. Gratefully, the trip back was uneventful. We did get some of the money reimbursed, but not all. Oddviously, I never want to get on another "ship" again. But what stories we have to tell from it.NancyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13207521943313227118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-71435555649442473042010-07-21T07:45:41.619-06:002010-07-21T07:45:41.619-06:00My besT travel experience was when my husband and ...My besT travel experience was when my husband and I returned tour roots, him to his birthplace of Bremen in Germany and the port of Bremerhaven where he boarded a ship tto his new life in Australia. We then went to England to my birthplace Sheffield in Yorkshire. We also went to the post of Southhampton where i had boarded a ship to my new life in Australia also. The trip was taken to coincide with my 50th birthday and I had a very special experience I woke up on my special 50th birthday in the very same room I was born in. What an amazing experience something I will never forget. The bedroom was in my Nannan and Grandad's house where I had spent some very happy times in my childhood.On the trip we also had the amazing chance of a lifetime in a small costal village of Whitby where we experienced the arrival of the Barque Endeavour where the original Capt Cook ship of the same name had departed from on her travels to Australia years ago.My husband and I had watched this replica ship Endeavour being built over a period of time and had watched her being launched in Fremantle Western Australia for her trip to England. So can imagine how exciting it was to see her arrive in her original port in this cute little coastal village . This was an amazing trip full of even more wonderful memories, in fact it was this holiday that got me into scrapbooking to record all of the wonderful photos and experiences, to reminisce about for the rest of my life.

He has a some teeth that were bothering him, but had no way of getting them looked at because he was in the middle of nowhere Canada. My trip was delayed by a day because of snow in Chicago, so I had to stay the night at the airport without any luggage. I was flying from central Maine. Then when I got to leave Chicago, I had a longer than usual layover in Calgary than onto Edmonton. When I finally got there, my husband looked like a "wild man" and was in a huge amount of pain. My luggage was not at the airport and could not be located. After we got checked into the hotel, my husband told me that 5 teeth were bothering him. The next morning we headed to the ER where they gave him some pain meds, but also told us to find a dentist. When we finally found a dentist, he had 5 root canals in 2 days. At this point, I spent most of my time in the dentist office listening to my husband groaning and moaning from the work being done on his teeth. And oh yea...still no luggage. My luggage finally shows up at the hotel 10 hours before I am scheduled to fly out. We did get to have dinner out that night, but my husband could only eat soup because of the work he had done on his teeth. The return trip went smoothly and our health insurance did cover all of the medical expenses. I have mentioned to my husband that we need to go back to Edmonton, so we can see some of the city.The Breedlove Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101666332530088913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-11276541811414775242010-07-21T05:43:33.264-06:002010-07-21T05:43:33.264-06:00My best vacation is when my "boyfriend" ...My best vacation is when my "boyfriend" and I went to Ireland.

House boating in Flo...Worst Vacation Experience...<br /><br />House boating in Florida with hubby's friends. Ah yes... driving to the river where the boat was after picking up friends at the airport, they figured there would be signs so their map STUNK! We got lost and had to call the place. Once we were on the boat the friends wouldn't park where you could get off the boat (you had to pay... I even offered) and well I wasn't swimming in alligator infested water. We also hit a bridge with the houseboat as the bridge people wouldn't raise it for us even after we asked them. Then we decided that hubby and I had to get off the boat for a day and we were going to Daytona beach the friends wanted to come with us. I told them we were going to stay for the ENTIRE day of course just after we got there they wanted to go back as we were wasting a day on the houseboat. We were back on the house boat by noon... ugg! Same week, not allowed to talk on the upper deck as someone was reading and not allowed to talk on the main deck as someone else was reading. (Umm did ya ever think ya could read together? Couldn't sit outside on the deck in the evening due to very large very hungry mosquitoes. Ahhhh yes and it was 90+ degrees, no A/C allowed as it cost money. We also weren't allowed to run the generator so the fridge/freezer defrosted and we had too cook everything the same night. Oh yes no shower every day as we may need water (did I mention it was 90+ degrees?). Then we had to drive back to the Disney area in a very small car with 5 people and their luggage. Still on the same trip friends didn't want to rent a car so we had to drive them around for a week to the theme parks they wanted to go to and pick them up when they were done. (Who goes to a theme park for 3/4 of a day and says they did the entire thing?) Then it was off to stay at the resort for a couple of days. There wasn't enough room in the car for all of us and luggage and they refused to make 2 trips. Four people in the back of a car in 100+ degree heat and I had one of them sitting on me... lets just say it wasn't fun. Did I mention that that was the last time we saw them until we were in the airport going home! (No I don't vacation with said friends anymore!) The worst part is that's just part of the story!Soralishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134991337688208295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-41423241176415393972010-07-20T21:46:06.713-06:002010-07-20T21:46:06.713-06:00In 1975, dad spent over 6 months fixing up an old ...In 1975, dad spent over 6 months fixing up an old station wagon and finished it just in time for our family of 6 to go to the Outer Banks of NC for vacation. When we arrived after a 10 hr drive, we had missed the last ferry for the day. Dad tried to find a hotel but all in the area were filled to capacity. He decided to venture further away in quest of a hotel with a vacancy. Eventually, all of us kids fell asleep and when we awoke, dad was pulling into our driveway. Dad had driven all night with no luck. <br />We were so disappointed but after a few hours sleep dad told us to get back in the car. Thus began a seven day journey to find every Civil War battleground and historical site within a days driving distance A.K.A. "The Red Bottom Road Trip".

S...Oldest son broke his arm 3 days before we left. So we left Fri. Since I have never taken Dramamine before I took one. After an hour I had not felt better so I took the second for a total of 50mg. When we got to IN for dinner with his brother and fiancé I was let just say stoned. Oh it gets better. <br />Sat and Sunday driving goes off without a hitch. Time for the fun to start. In-laws meet us at their time-share and we go for dinner. Kids go down at 1030p and we go at 11p. Daughter with me in one bed and son with husband. Baby in portacrib in living room. At 1130 baby wakes up and immediately is quiet again I figured he found bink and went back to sleep but wanted to check on him anyway. HE VOMMITED ALL OVER EVERYTHING IN THE CRIB. We threw the pillow away (it had the matching pillow case to our master bed :() he was sick every 40min till about 4am. Baby and I were finally asleep by 6am. In-laws were clueless to what was going on. <br />Mon. husband and In Laws took older two to the pool. (6yr old in an arm cast mind you) baby and I met up with them later that afternoon. <br /> Tues we went to magic kingdom <br />Wed Husband, oldest son and Fater in law went to Kennedy space center and Daughter, baby, Mother InLaw and I went to downtown Disney. We met guys for dinner and went "home". <br />Thur 4a, oldest Son wakes up vomiting all over Hubby :) we are up cleaning that up. InLaw's clueless. We have non-refundable park hopper tix so off to Epcot and Hollywood studios (aka MGM) we go. We get Son a stroller and pray he does not get sick again. He didn't. Yeah!!<br />Fri we went to downtown Disney to do last min shopping and had lunch at rainforest cafe. Baby did not want to sit or eat so I walked with him while they ate and then I at while walking. It was time to go...last day of vacation almost over. NOT!!!<br />Van was making a noise so we were going to go back to resort and find a Midus to take it in (under warranty since we had it tuned before we left) on the way to the car oldest Son pukes in parking lot. hubby and Son sit on curb while I take baby, Daughter and InLaws to get the van. while getting baby out of stroller his diaper runs all over my arm, white dress and shoes down to the inside of foot. EEEEW!!! So after 15 min of cleaning that up we pick up Hubby and Son and go "home". Hubby gets appt. for Midus at 8am we left by 10 YEAH so happy to go home.<br />Sat. baby diaper leaks in car seat just before lunch.<br />Sun. pouring rain and my McD's cold hazelnut coffee spills all over inside van. Poll over to vacuum out liquid with my seat outside. I rode home with a wet yush all the while driving through a tornado warning. Arrive back home by 610p and never felt happier to be home. InLaws flew Sun and landed same time we walked in the door. Found out this morning that the limo service that was to pick them up from airport to bring them home went bankrupt while we were gone and they had to find alternate way home.<br /><br />serirously...i could not make this up. and they want to do it again next year. we'll see.QueenOfTheCrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07053114081673704642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371847256352081682.post-20062090630401608012010-07-20T20:09:02.326-06:002010-07-20T20:09:02.326-06:00This is such a cute album.
