I can’t really think of anything as bad as what happens in this movie trailer!! I would have to say the worst part would be the airlines losing our luggage and at the time we were traveling with our infant son.

Ellie Wright says
On our last road trip I booked the hotel through an online service. Sure enough when we got there they had no record of it. We ended up driving to a nearby city and staying at a different hotel. Then the service tried to charge us for a no show. It was a pain in the butt to get straightened out.

We go into an accident on a family road trip one time it was not good at all but everyone was ok.

We never had a family vacation not go as planned. Our honeymoon was another story. It rained almost every day, there were power outages, we were on the 7th floor and had to walk up and down. We rented a car and got a flat tire in the middle of no-where. It was a vacation to remember.
Heather B says
We have actually never gone on a family vacation or any real trips of any sort.

My sister and I were driving back into the United States from Canada and ended up in the wrong car line. We went through the Duty Free line and they made us park and go inside while they searched our car. The flack jackets and rifles were a little disconcerting but it only took 30 min. instead of an hour waiting in the car queue. I wouldn’t recommend it! We did get a good laugh about it after the fact.
Chrissy says
On the last family vacation we took we all got terrible head colds and spent most of our vacation in bed. At least the beds were comfy but such a bummer!

Last year we were coming back from a float trip when our camper’s tire broke off the axle and went off into a field. We had to keep it set where it was and come back to get it a few days later when it could be fixed. Thanks.

We had planned a vacation to Cape Cod, rented a house, and at the last minute my husband couldn’t go. I loaded four kids into the car, pregnant with the fifth and drove all the way to the Cape exhausted. First day locked the keys, purse, and SUNSCREEN in the trunk at the beach. Waited three hours for the locksmith to arrive. 90 degrees on asphalt. Had to bite the bullet and beg another mother for sunscreen for the kids. Second day, sliced my hand cutting bagels. Third day, almost lost one kid at the petting zoo. Fourth day, CRIED!
Thomas Murphy says
Not really, everything has always went good on my vacations.

Our first trip to Disney World, my youngest was 2 and he got the stomach bug while we were there.

Our honeymoon did not go as planned! The hotel we booked was horrible, so we ended up staying at two other hotels in Jamaica that could accomodate us for the rest of our stay. At least we got to see all parts of the island!

Cheryl B says
We haven’t had anything memorable happened that wasn’t expected.
Andrea Williams says
The first time we flew with our first child (who was just a few months old) he had a lot of diaper spills and we ran out of clothes for him. The stewardesses were kind enough to give us a blanket to wrap him in until we had access to our main luggage again. Next time we were definitely prepared for everything!
Edye says
We have gone on vacation and forgot someone’s luggage! HAHA 😉

One time when we were visiting my aunt on the East Coast we all piled in to cars and drove off … leaving my little sister asleep in the basement.
(She never heard this story until her mid 20s and I swear she now breaks down in big sobs when she tells the story because she was sooooo traumatized. *eyeroll*)

Michaela Kay says
My family went on a canoe/camping trip, the in laws even went along. My boys were 1 and 6 at the time. My husband and I had the baby with us while our other son rode with grandma and grandpa. After our canoe tipped over, we gathered everything up and decided it was best for the baby to ride with grandma and grandpa. Their canoe tipped over, the baby was fine, his brother was screaming the canoe was a death trap. Some young men helped them right the canoe and gave up a sweatshirt to keep the baby warm. My husband and I were so far behind because we got ran into and tipped again. That was the last time we’ve gone canoeing. Thankfully we still love to camp and recount this trip to all our friends and family around the campfire.

My kids left a light on in our car and drained the battery while on vacation. We were getting ready to go to the museum, but those plans had to be changed since we had no way of getting there!
amanda whitley says
on a road trip we took , we drove 15 hours and on the way back we blew out our muffler. that made the ride really loud but then to top it off we lost our brakes temporarily. luckily my husband is a mechanic and his grandfather happened to pass on some tools to him during our trip so he was able to fix our breaks in a parking lot.
Paol Trenny says
We have to drive to the airport to catch a flight to NYC. The airport is almost two hours away and on our way to the airport, we realized that we forgot my hubby’s wallet, so we turn around and head back home. Only to hit traffic and delayed our trip by a whole day.
