What follows is a hilarious look at real world problems faced by all couples. The film also stars Kali Hawk and Jean Reno.

    Reno Nevada. Hotel screwed up hotel reservations. My mom, dad, brother, and myself ended up staying in the honeymoon sweet for a night. Mirrors on the ceiling. Hot tub next to the bed. Christmas running lights along the ceiling that wouldn’t turn off. It was certainly interesting

    My worst vacation was when I was 9 and went to Disney World. I was sick for the first 4 days, then it was time to go to Disney World. It rained the entire time both days we were there. On the second day, I was running, slipped, and fell and scraped up my knee pretty bad. Obviously, that was not a good vacation.

    Hi, well we went to Florida and promised to visit a time share to get cheap disneyworld tickets. OMG
    It lasted hours and hours and then my husband signed up to buy one and we couldn’t afford it so we had to back out of the deal and that was another wasted day. It still ended up being nice once we got out of the way of the pushy sales people. : )
    This movie looks good!!

    My worst vacation was Orlando, Fl
    a couple of years ago. We went without much spending money, spent one night sleeping in the car and was awakened by the police. Then once we got to the beach I burned redder than a tomato and was miserable the whole time.
    I would love to see this movie; it looks really funny.

    My worst time was spent at Branson Mo. The hotel was booked online and was not near as nice as I was led to believe. There werent’ many rides at the theme park and I didn’t really like the shows. It was the first vacation I was ever on that I couldn’t wait to get home.

    We took a vacation to attend our niece’s wedding in March of 2000. We had a reception on the beach. The fed chose that day to rescue Elian Gonzales. There was an uprising in Little Havana and they closed roads into and out of L.H. We were on one side and the caterers were stuck on the other. It was one hot and miserable reception until they finally arrived.

    My worst vacation story was my honeymoon. Our flight got delayed causing us to miss our connecting flight. The airline then tried to put us on a later flight that would cause us to miss our non-refundable cruise.

    My family’s big road trip out west in the early 80’s. 5 weeks of togetherness for a family of 6 in a van with no air conditioning, only the front 2 windows could open, towing a pop-up camper. While in Chinatown, San Francisco, my dad got sick and was puking into trash cans at a curb while the rest of us were in the van trying to ignore him. Or in Las Vegas sleeping on cheap lawn chairs outside the camper because of the heat. There were too many bad things on that trip to name them all.

    Just happened. 6am flight canceled to Chicago. We got put on another flight which caused us to miss our connection to Philly. Only flight to Philly in time to make our cruise was on a different airline. We made it but our luggage didn’t until the 5th day of the cruise. Airline wouldn’t take a luggage claim over the phone so my daughter had to physically go to Lambert airport to do it. Of course the baggage claim office system kept crashing. The whole ordeal felt like a bad movie. We thought we were safe being the first flight of the day but not so lucky. From now on, whenever possible, it’s direct flights for me.

    When my husband and I were in our younger years and we wanted to take the kids to the Rocky Mountains in TN and of course we drove and my husband didnot believe in making hotel reservations which was not a good thing to do with little kids. We ended up driving and driving and driving around to find a hotel to spend the night and it took forever we ended up way out of town in a little rinky dink hotel that we had one small bed and hand to spend on the floor with all kinds of noises through the night needless to say didnot get much sleep and we never went any where with a hotel reservation made ahead. thanks,

    Thia was actually my wedding night after my first marriage.
    The hotel screwed up our reservation and we ended up in the annex of the hotel, in which the heat had been turned basically off in the dead of winter. It was so cold that when you ran the COLD water in the sink, there was steam coming off of it!!!
    It was so cold my husband wore his tux to bed!!!

    My worst vacation was when I was a teenager I hitch hiked to California, and after I was just there a few days, got stopped by the police and my parents had to wire money for plane transportation to send me back home. While I was gone, my parents repainted my all black room to white.

    My worst vacation story would be when I waited and waited for years to go to Miami, FL. We finally got down there I was on a 3 day trip and then over to North Carolina. It rained the ENTIRE time down there and we had to stay at the hotel. then when it came time to go to north carolina, we got a hurricane warning and had to stay indoors and i missed my plane. I had to stay at the hotel for another 3 days and then come straight back home. SH*TY vacation dude.

    I was going to Vienna, Austria to visit my brother who was studying abroad. I was traveling alone and the flight from StL to D.C. had problems. After switching planes three times, I missed my connection to Vienna by minutes. The airline put me up in a hotel for the night but they only have one flight a day to Vienna so I lost a whole day, not to mention being alone and having difficulty getting the message to my brother who did not have an international cell phone back then.

    We took a family trip to visit family in south dakota once and the ride from memphis was horrible all by itself. My aunt decided she wanted to go back for awhile so along with are imediate fam and her and my cuzs (a total of 4 car seats) and their stuff we all packed in to the surburban for the extremely long trip. The cuz that is my age got stuck in the very back with no seat. Crying babies, no seat and a 16 hour trip at least straight there, deserves tickets without going through the rest of the trip! LOL It was not fun!

    Worst vacation ever? We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers… Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. But no ice?! 🙁

    Disney World. My wife’s family. We took two cars so that we weren’t obligated to go back to the condo when her parents got tired. They did. I wanted to stay at the park. We all went back to the condo. My sister-in-law said “all in all, I think everybody’s having fun.” I expressed an opposing opinion. Spent the rest of the vacation trying not to get divorced.

    Float trip with the entire family. We took a wrong turn while on the river and instead of going 1 mile we went 10 miles, which we were unprepared for. Halfway though, our raft got a hole in it and we had to drag it the rest of the way. I will never go floating again!

    Worst vacation was when we were driving out west, our son started itching. It progressively got worse; and by the time we got to Phoenix, AZ, we took him to a doctor who said that he hadn’t seen one of these cases since he left Michigan 20 years ago. It turned out to be poison ivy and that put a kink in our vacation.

    I’m lucky because I’ve never had a bad vacation. But I have had a bad part of a camping trip. My family and I were packing up to leave after spending the weekend in Union, MO, and there was a pregnant black widow on our tent right next to my dad’s hand as he was taking down the tent. He yelled and jumped back, then stomped on it. Yikes! I hate spiders and never want to camp there again.

    We were going on vacation to Flordia but arrived late to the airport. Even though we could have made it, the lady at the counter kept wondering if we would make it onto the plane. She pondered so long it went past the time to give our luggage. We ended up waiting from 6am until 8pm before we finally got on a non-direct flight to Florida. We didn’t even get there until 1am. Worse vacation ever.

    I’ve recently returned from one of my worst vacations ever! I was warned don’t plan or go on a vacation with other people. Did I listen? No! Trip to Disneyworld where the other people furnished the time-share and the rental car, but we were trapped at their mercy to sightsee because they didn’t believe in getting an early start. You don’t start out for the theme parks at noon or later.

    I took my wife and kids on a camping vacation last summer, and we decided to go on a float trip. We found a company, called to reserve a spot, and hurried over, since we were tight for time. We pulled up as the bus was loading, and were told that they couldn’t let us on because we were late. The kids were disappointed, and I was convinced to get them on the river. We called everyplace in the phone book, and finally found a new company that had just started trips the previous week. They only had rafts, which were way expensive, but I was obsessed. We finally got on the river, and were supposed to take a 7 mile trip, over about 3 hours. Well, my aggravation must have affected my paddling, and we covered the 7 miles in an hour and a half. Even though the take-out area resembled what they described to us, I reasoned that we couldn’t possibly be done already. Long story short – we paddled 18 miles, got rained on, witnessed a fight and some flashing, and I got hit on by a gay pride float trip. We pulled out at a park, and our cell phones wouldn’t work to call the company to pick us up. By this time, it had been about 7 hours with 2 bottled waters and a bag of pretzels for the four of us to share. There was a pay phone, but we had no change and the vending machines at the park wouldn’t give us any. I finally figured out how to use my Visa to make a phone call, and got the only taxi company in the area. He showed up 45 minutes later in a 1984 Ford LTD wagon, with the wood look side panels, and the interior head liner stapled to the roof. We finally made it back to our car, and by the time we got back to our campsite, a 3 hour trip had taken about 9 hours.

    My wife and I met some good friends who had moved away from St. Louis in Puerto Vallarta for a week of fun. Little did we know, one of our friends had a brother living there. When we arrived at the resort, we were immediately assaulted by the time share salespeople. 2 bottles of Tequila to view the Time Share presentation or 1 bottle and a Mexican blanket. Every time we ventured outside of the hotel we were attacked by the time share vampires. On top of that, our friends brother had a little cocaine habit. We rode with him to “get some beer” and ended up in the midst of a Mexican political rally, a very INTENSE political rally! He was assuring us everything was fine, he just was looking for “Juan”. We made it out of the rally alive and then proceeded to tell him what we thought of him taking us there. He promised to make it up to us the next day by taking us to a beautiful place in the mountains to ride dirt bikes and have a cookout. The next day, we got in our rent-a-car and followed him out into the boonies to what appeared to be a beautiful mountain stream. We played in the water as the locals drove by us going upstream to get drinking water. Then the diaper floated by, then another, we then looked a little further upstream and found several families bathing and doing their laundry in the stream we were swimming in. No doubt where the diapers had come from! We left shortly after discovering the activitiies upstream and went back to the resort. On our trip home, I developed a fever and chills. This was durng the SARS scare and there were body temperature scanners at every airport. All I could think of on the flight back was I’m going to make it to the US only to be placed in quarantine with a bunch of sick people! Somehow I managed to avoid the scanners and we finally made it home. I called our friends and said NEVER AGAIN if your brother is anywhere on the same continent!

    So my family and I were travelling to Texas to see my brother who is in the military. We decided to fly on standby which was the first mistake and led to all 5 of having to take a different flight and meant. My mother, who took the first flight, had to wait 16 hours at the airport until my dad, the last flight, finally arrived. We then get to the rental car counter and because we didnt arrive on time our SUV was given away and instead we had to troll around TX in Budget’s best version a matchbox car. Finally we make it to our hotle and our eagerly looking forward to our beds when we discover that the hotel made a mistake with the reservation and we ended up in a room with only 1 bed. Yeah, it was like a total Griswold family vacation. Needless to say, we were all ready to call it quits and just come home after our first 24 hours in.

    Getting involved with someone online is probably not something one should be doing in the first place, but as a socially awkward college student back in 2001, I didn’t see much future elsewhere.

    Actually, as an unemployed and still socially awkward fellow a year away from turning 30, I still don’t see much future, but I at least learned my lesson when I went to visit my would-be girlfriend in Arizona. It was bad from the beginning. I elected not to rent a car, thinking that I could just mooch rides off my girl the entire time, so of course I spent the majority of the week locked up in my hotel room. Things only get worse from there as I try to be chivalrous and let her have the only umbrella during a monsoon, agree to visit the University of Arizona’s campus and promptly get left there for hours with nothing to do, and then on the day before I have to go, being told that she does not have any romantic feelings for me. So yeah, wonderful time.

    When I was 17 years old, I went on vacation with my friend, Heather, and her parents. We were going to Maryland and I was excited because I’d never been to the ocean before. Our first morning on the way to the beach, Heather’s parents decided to buy us breakfast at Burger King. About 10 minutes after eating, I ran towards the shoreline excited to jump into the waves. It wasn’t long before I was leaning over my boogie board throwing up my breakfast into that beautiful water. The next day, I was back on the boogie board trying to ride a wave into the shore like Heather was. I was overturned by a large wave, and stood up to brush my hair out of my face only to hear Heather yelling from the sand that my top was crooked and I was exposed… and sitting next to me on their surfboards were a slew of 13-14 year old boys, watching intently. Our third day there, boogie boarding yet again, another wave washed over me sending a jellyfish right over my face. I was stung on my eyelid, and when we asked the lifeguard what to do, he said Heather should urinate on it. “On her eye?? I’m not peeing on her eyelid!” she said. He suggested rubbing sand on it, or standing under a cool shower… thanks buddy. Throughout the course of our days at the beach, Heather’s parents urged and urged me to wear sunscreen – I didn’t listen. I never sunburn, I told them. I rode home in the back seat of their pick-up truck trying not to let any part of my skin touch ANYTHING unnecessarily because I was in so much pain… what a GREAT trip ;o) At least I got a good story out of it!

    Wow! I’ve never felt more blessed to have never gone on vacation as an adult. After reading all the jellyfish stories, there is no way in hell I’m going to the ocean. I remember vacations when I was a child though. Like the one where my older sister was pouring coffee for my dad and spilt it all over my socked foot. I was probably 6 or so. The sock stuck to my foot. They had to peel it off. Needless to say. We had to make a side trip to the emergency room. The skin on the top of my foot had bubbled up about an inch high off my foot. That was a very painful vacation. Thankfully I was young enough that while I still remember what it looked like, I don’t remember the pain.
