I went to the beach with my family every year for my mom’s birthday when I was a kid. Well, the summer after I turned 18, we went to the beach just like always. Every year the same group of kids was at the resort at the same time, and now that most of us were of age, we decided we were going to go to Mexico and get drunk. Great idea right? Well, we ended up going at like 10 am. Which wasn’t too bad. We weren’t far from the border, and we were in a bar by eleven. I quickly proceeded to drink about seven margaritas, and some shots of tequila. I was pretty pissed, but figured what the hell. It’s vacation, right? So a few hours pass and we go back stateside to the hotel. I go to our room ,and my dad is the only one there, which was good, because he didn’t care if I drank as long as I wasn’t driving or getting arrested. So he informs me that I need to go to the store with him to pick out a card for my mom’s birthday because he forgot to bring one. So we get to the store, pick out a card, everything is cool. I haven’t flashed any one, puked in the aisle or talked any shit to complete strangers. I’m doing ok. Then we come out of the store and I proceed to fall off a handicap ramp and skid about two feet. I ended up tearing two of the ligaments in my knee and getting an ugly ass scar to boot. That was day two of an eight day vacation. When we got home, I was on crutches for seven months. I still haven’t been back to the beach since then.

The worst beginning to a vacation that I had was when I was 11 going to visit my grandfather in his country, the Nature Isle called Dominica(not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). Actually its not the worst but I don’t want to get into the story of my vacation to the lovely country of Colombia….We got on an American Airlines flight from New York to Antigua to catch a connecting LIAT flight to Canefield, Dominica. Now the American Airlines flight was fine until we reached St.Maarten, shortly after take off the plane decided to fall about 500 feet and nearly into the ocean. THEN….The pilot instead of going back to the airport decides to fly the plane to Antigua anyway and the plane drops yet again nearing the airport. Then when we finally land, we almost missed our connecting flight and we had to retrieve our baggage to put on this tiny ass little 11 seater plane. Mind you we had ALOT of baggage. Then this little putt putt putt plane putt putts about an hr and a half to the Canefield Airport and hits like a million air pockets along the way then when we go to land the plane overshoots the friggin runway and we have to attempt landing again…..3 times. Finally we land, but by then I didnt want to step foot on another plane and alas we had to…

When I was taking the cab back to Tegel, my German cab driver would NOT get it when I said “No DEUTSCH!!!”

Well, that was a cheap cap ride regarding the fact that you have to pay 300 Euros in Germany for cleaning a cab after such a disaster

Far from that I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in my home country. Though I think I would have been a better tourist guide than your drunken friend.

OH YEAH AND FOR THE RECORD…I LIVED IN RHODE ISLAND SO IT WAS A WHILE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE MY CLOTHES SOAKED IN HOMELESS MAN VOMIT.

BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, I WAS VOMITING, AND ONE PERSON VOMITING BECAME TWO, AND ONE THING IS FOR SURE, SEX & VOMIT…NOT HOT.

WELL, THAT’S QUITE A STORY.

I THINK I’VE NEVER USED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HERE IN THE US OF A. I LIE, WELL THERE WAS THIS ONE TIME, NO, NOT AT TRAMP CAMP, THIS ONE TIME, I ACTUALLY DECIDED TO RIDE ONE OF THOSE TROLLEY CARS AFTER CATCHING A GAME AT FENWAY, AND IN RETROSPECT, IT PROBABLY WASN’T MY FAULT, BUT JUST AS I WAS ADMIRING THE BEAUTY OF A CROWDED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, A HOMELESS MAN THREW UP ON & THAT WAS THE END OF USING ANYTHING PUBLIC OR TRANSPORTATION THAT HAS MORE THAN 1 STRANGER.

Well I slept through an earthquake in Chile at the end of last year. It was the change of time zone that did me, I was sleeping during the day and insomniac at night. I didn’t even know the earthquake had happened until a day later. The light to my room was no longer working and I just figured it was cause I was staying in a dive.

Hahaha shitty.
One of my gay friends is like that too - we call it alcohol-induced heterosexuality. The amount of times we have all gotten drunk and taken “baths” (don’t ask), or he’s made out with a chick. And I swear to God he knows my boobs better than I do.

The 1st year I was in Boston, like 1999, I took a 22 hr bus ride back to Michigan to go to the Michigan v. Michigan State Game. I was a poor AmeriCorps recruit and it was too cheap to pass up.

The woman in front of me was a 300lb white trash single mom with two hellish grubby children who tortured me for the 1st 10 hours. I kept waiting for them to get off on one of the stops, until one little old lady asked them where they were going. “To see their Daddy in Michigan!!!”. Lucky me.

After they finally fell asleep, we hit a stop that had a 24 hr Mc D’s and the mother ACTUALLY woke these brats back up to go in and buy her food. I was so pissed.
