• Family went on vacation to Disney World. Arrived very late, very tired, just wanted to get into our hotel. Mom goes inside to talk to the hotel staff about our room/parking, comes out an hour later, we’re all frustrated and tired and start arguing, she whips open the car door and cuts open her face right under her eye and we spent the night searching for a hospital and then waiting for her to get stitches.
• Mexico: sun poisoning/sister got the s***s on a zip line in the middle of the Mexican wilderness with no bathroom for miles/went on a 3 hour catamaran (boat) ride, I got horribly seasick and threw up the entire time/spent 3 hours at the airport getting scammed into buying different tourist location packs
• France: Drove 2 hours, realized my bag was missing, went back to the airport and it wasn’t there, after days of horribly translated and fractured English phone calls, they tell us it’s lost. Insurance pays out but we’re on an extremely remote island so replacing clothes was very difficult. Bag eventually shows up, I’m ecstatic, open it up and everything is torn to shreds.
• France part 2: Very young age, went to an amusement park with my dad and sister (also very young) while my mom stayed home because she wasn’t feeling well, we’re on the ferris wheel when she calls us saying she has stabbing pain in her back and head and needs to go to the hospital, ferris wheel stops and we’re stuck at the top for around an hour.
I never realized how horrifying unfortunate most of my vacations have been until this so thanks!
