Family HolidaysBack in the 80s when my Dad got made redundant (hello Dad!), he spent all the redundancy money on one of those big motor caravans.
Us kids loved it, apart from when my sister threw up on my sleeping bag, but looking back I'm not so sure my mum did. There was a certain tension every time the big van was even mentioned, let alone driven around France for weeks on end with her still having to cook and do all the washing.
What went wrong, what went right, and how did you survive the shame of having your family with you as a teenager?

canadaThe summer I turned 18 the family went for a long holiday in Canada. Where the legal age for drinking is 19. Smashing. This was highlighted when I was admonished by the "Nutrition Computer" in some museum for choosing beer as a suitable drink with my dinner.
Still, taught my 3 year old nephew to say "You suck moose cocks" so it wasn't all wasted.
