This is a question It was a great holiday, but...

... the night a racoon broke into our tent and attacked us will live on in my memories.
... coming down a dirttrack mountain road with no fences with the back end of the car fishtailing about left me needing new underwear.

I'm off on holiday next week somewhere nice and safe. Tell us your holiday stories.

Good ones:
~ surviving driving around rural new hampshire on the bonnet of a cadillac by night, locked off my head. And of course driving said caddy (I can't drive) with 2 people on the front...
~ arriving in Lima on my own, with mates a few kms up the andes somewhere 100s of miles away, at 3am, and then thinking... "Wait. I don't speak spanish..."
~ not being thrown out of the vatican - Pope 0, Me 1...
~ surviving the taxi ride to the airport in Istanbul. He didn't even gave all his windows left. I have never seen such reckless abandon. Never tell them you're in a hurry - it's too much of an adrenalin trip.

Bad Ones:
~ a good friend dying suddenly of a heart attack after being ill for a few days, following a botched diagnosis the year before.
~ Ryanair. Any further attempt to describe the litany will just mean a rant.
~ Realizing how stupid i was only after I'd smuggled dope through istanbul.
~ realizing the recent shark attack in Hermanus (outside of cape town) that sank the dive cage WAS the same boat we'd used shortly before! :)
~ turns out when a Grand Prix ends, the carpark grand prix slow race begins, and the gendarmes don't care

And great ones:
all the drunken run-ins that are too tedious to tell if you don't know the people involved. Huzzah for holidays!
