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.

Freak weatherI have very bad luck with weather.
Last year in March (freakishly cold if you remember), I decided that it would be a good idea to hire a house boat and tour the Norfolk Broads. It was a little chilly to say the least, and we woke up on the second morning to find the water where we were moored had frozen solid and we were stuck in the boat miles from anywhere, unable to move an inch.
Then I went to Texas and drove into the path of a flash flood - there was water about 5 feet deep flowing all around the truck with waves bigger than you get in the sea. I ended up stranded next to a pizza hut with all the staff sitting on the roof.
Then last month the plane I was in got hit by lightning on the way to New Zealand.
Incidentally, I also caught a sub-tropical strain of tonsillitis in a rainforest - but that was nothing to do with weather... probably evil parrots.
