Oh my, I would never go back to Disney World in Florida! I thought Texas was humid! There you cannot even dry off after a shower! I went so my Son, Blaise, could say he went! I survived 7 days of standing in very long lines, hordes of people and $5 water. I smiled, pretended I was not dieing from a heat stroke and was hugged several times a day by the large, furry, too cheerful Disney Characters. The things we will do for our children!!

One moment of total pleasure was sitting in the Rainforest Cafe' having one of Sammy Haggars famous Waborita's!! I will always cherish that one moment.

When did you go? I'm joining 1000 other fitness instructors in Orlando in early November.

Here's a horror story for you:

My first ex and I were driving somewhere in Italy - I think Milan to Lake Como. Our car breaks down. A tow truck finally comes to get us and the car. The driver speaks no English. None. We speak no Italian. Finally get to a large car repair shop, where my teeth are fairly floating from having to pee for the last 5 hours. I ask for a bathroom. They take me down into the basement where there is a hole in the floor. That's it. Just a hole, no paper, no walls around it, nothing. Just squat and pee. Well, guess what. I'm wearing a frickin one piece jumpsuit (it was the 80's ok? lol) and I am forced to strip down to nothing, or pee myself. Choose the latter, cop a squat, and every mechanic in the place wanders down to get a look. This was before I had children, so I still had a modicum of modesty and dignity. "Had" being the operative word.

Sure, I'd go back. At this stage of my life, they'd be too afraid to look! And if they did, they'd get what they deserve - Traumatic blindness!

Sorry! I just saw this! November should be better than July!! lol

Great story Lisa!!

My brother is a tour guide in Italy and surrounding countries. My parents went in their 70s twice to visit. He told them to pack TP, because if you found any there, it was sandpaper. But fortunately my mother learned where TOILETS were. She was in a bathroom in bar and a woman came in and saw the holes and said NO WAY. My mother showed her where the toilets were. But most places had the holes and no toilets.

Our worse-ever vacation was to Montana a few years back. We were both extremely ill and it rained in June for two whole weeks (it never rained in MT in June during the five years we lived there). We were too sick to even go to Glacier National Park, one of my most favorite spots anywhere.

On a vacation to Hawaii my purse was stolen. It had my camera, glasses, both our wallets, all our money and credit cards, and several exposed rolls of film. Vacation was saved only because oldest son was at home and provided all the credit card numbers so I could cancel the cards. And there happened to be a branch of one of my banks in Honolulu that was able to issue and make a replacement credit card. Middle son had his wallet and a few dollars cash so we had money for dinner while we were waiting for the new credit card.
