Whats the worst experience you ever had on a family vacations?
Looking at family travel blogs on the internet, a reader sees a lot of “best vacations with children” types of articles and posts. But they can’t all be the best, can they? And – what about some bad family travel experiences – they happen, to be honest. What about when bad vacations happen to good people? The worst family vacation I’ve had as a parent was quite a while ago, when my daughters were 6 months old and almost 3 years old. It sounded good on paper: My parents were renting a condo in Puerto Rico (they found a good deal), and my brother-in-law was coming along too. Instant built-in babysitting! Who’d look at that cock-eyed? I didn’t hesitate, and the Mudslide family looked forward to this family vacation in Puerto Rico with no skepticism. And…we learned our lesson. The reason the condo rental was so cheap was because it was rainy season in the Caribbean. Of course! It rained every single day.

There was a nightclub with live music for dancing every night and a restaurant with world-class cuisine. And the great part was it was ALL INCLUSIVE! It was a bit pricey but we thought that it would be well worth it. We booked a 3 day weekend. The hallway that the
In the summer of 2006 my family and I, including my husband visited the wonderful city of Vicksburg, MS. All members of my family that traveled with me were of age, being that we were going to the Casino for the weekend. Its not a vacation per say but the nonetheless it was a vacation away from the norm. The first day we arrived we checked into a lovely hotel, so we thought. The first night was lovely. We gambled, went out to eat, and gambled some more. After spending the whole day out we decide to call it a night. My husband and I of course had our own room. We slept the night away and arose to the most stomach churning happening. It seems that when the weather gets hot and muggy in that part of Mississippi the ladybugs come out in abundance. I awoke first and didn’t notice the ladybugs until one fell from the ceiling onto my forehead. I immediately started to scream and noticed that there were clusters of ladybugs in each corner of the ceilings. I immediately started packing my thing
