I have had some wonderful travel experience over the years, but who wants to hear about those?  So, here's a few of my most memorable for the wrong reasons.

Neckties:  I had the opportunity to travel with my husband on a business trip to Taiwan. Every day we walked 10 yards from the hotel to a waiting bus, then 10 yards from the bus to a  government building and returned late at night to be escorted the 10 yards from the bus to the hotel.    I was never sure if we were guests or prisoners.  Even though I didn't get to see it, I hear it is a beautiful country and, hey, I'll never forget those great bus drivers.

Nausea:  We took a cruise once to...Good Lord!  I don't even know where we went because I spent the entire cruise inside our cabin puking my guts out.

"Whoa!  Did you feel that?" I grabbed my husband's arm as my knees buckled.  Unfortunately, we hadn't even left the dock yet.

Things went downhill quickly after that.  Yes, I did try taking Dramamine but, being the delicate flower that I am, I contracted a rare side effect of diplopia so even when I was able to stand up I got nauseous from the double vision.  I firmly believe there's a reason God placed me smack dab in the middle of a giant continent.  I plan to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground from now on, thank you very much.

Nudists:  After the all-inclusive cruise didn't work out we tried the all-inclusive resort.  We traveled to Jamaica where the front desk clerk informed us we'd be staying on the clothing-optional side of the resort.  No problem for someone as flexible as me, right?  Okay, I did stop and pick up a dozen towels along the way to our room.  No way was I going to sit on any of that furniture.  Who knows how many bare butts had been there first!

They showed us to our room and I stepped out on the balcony.  There was a beautiful view of the beach, which was covered in naked people of all shapes and sizes.  At that very moment the heavens opened up and it began to rain - which caused all the naked people of every shape and size - to run for their rooms.

There were body parts jumping and bumping in every direction.  "Ack!  My eyes!  My eyes!" I screamed.

I fell back on the couch that I had not yet had an opportunity to drape in towels.  I leapt up and ran to the bathroom to scrub myself from head to toe.

I'll bet you wish you could travel with me sometime, right?
