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.

floofy and otherunfluffy first - i was living in NY when everything fell over. oh dear.
I must say, New Yorkers are amazing people, and were busy making bad taste jokes a week after, whilst CNN continued its 'America Under Attack' gumph.
Fluffier time!
In Cuba, a few years ago, it was a bit hairy in general. The day before this happened the US embassy had just opened to riots and that Elian kid was in the news. In fact, we'd been watching a CNN Larry King show interviewing Gloria Estefan in our hotel room when the Elian subject came up and then the signal scarmbled. Hm.
Nice evening, we got into an illegal taxi (read:chevy), and promptly found our car surrounded by large Cuban police officers with AK-47s pointing at us. They grabbed the driver and his tout, pulled them out of the car, frisked them and then started screaming at them.
Meanwhile, four poncy art students sit in the back trying not to laugh out of hysteria or talk in case they think we're American.
After a couple of bribes they let up a bit and tell them to drop us round the corner.
Brown pants all round. Joy
