Spin-off from the top 5 best vacation thread, what's your worst vacation of all time and why?
1) Paris. Summer 2004. 2 18 year old girls lost in the Paris suburbs and being followed by two guys back to central Paris.
2) Australia. It wasn't bad but it was so disappointing compared to what I expected it to be like!
3) Venice. Hot, damp, crowded. It was 100 degrees and with my asthma it was like being in a sauna. No fun.
My top few are ones I did not want to go on and ended up being berated until I agreed to go. Paris with a bunch of family members. I was 19 but in a weird situation. In the mall there my cousin and I ran into some bad guys. We will leave it at that... that was probably my worse one. Oh and I ended up in the hospital..later in the week for completely different reasons.
Last year on the Fantasy, I threw my back out on the second day. I was in miserable pain and couldn't sit, stand, or sleep comfortably. And my family felt my pain. Came home and had to have two months of PT and laser therapy. It truly was miserable and when we went just a few weeks ago, the minute I walked onto the ship, all the bad feelings came back! Luckily my back stayed in tact this time and it was a good week!
For all the meticulous preparations taken for this first family vacation, one we had not done was to prepare ourselves mentally for the fact that one does not get a vacation from parenting just because one is on vacation.
