Worst Vacation

What is the worst vacation you have ever taken? Actually, I hope you don't have one and every vacation has been good! In that case, post your BEST one!

I had a bad one though and it was back in 1994. We were living in Indiana and I decided to plan a camping trip for us. I chose this campsight by a brochure I was sent in the mail. It was a family owned campground that had campfires, hikes, swimming and lots of activities like ping pong, badmitton, canoes, etc.

I went over Friday to set up caap and then Mark was going to come that night after work.
Well, I got to this "lovely peaceful family owned campsight in the woods away from it all..." and it was a DUMP!!!!!
There was NO ONE camping there. When I asked why there were no people she said, Oh, you are early, we fill up on Friday nights.
Well, that was not true, no one showed up after I set up my tent. The "beautiful crystal lake" was more like a mud hole and the canoes didnt have any paddles if i had wanted to go in the mud hole in the first place.
I didnt see any game room with the ping pong or anything!!!!!!!!!!
By the time Mark got there I was all bit up with mosquitos even though I was covered in bug spray and we took down the tent and went home!

I still love camping but after that particular trip, it was a whole year before I wanted to camp again!!!!!

hugs, train
