Travel Nightmares

Here are the stories that come to mind when ever I hear about someone having a bad time while traveling:

Airports can suck sometimes. I remember this one time, I was supposed to have a no stop flight from Phoenix to Oahu and the plane was having mechanical problems and they made us wait on the plane for 45 minutes without any air conditioning. We were using the barf bags as fans, because it was so hot. Then they flew us to Los Angeles and we had a wait for an hour to get on another plane.

I went on a cruise a couple of years ago and one of the stops was in Playa Del Carmen. I booked a bus tour to Cancun and the driver went to park the bus next to a sidewalk and a tree branch went through the windshield and broke it.

Usually when I go on on a cruise or to Florida, it's during hurricane season, so it's always raining or a hurricane is a couple of days away. I went to Cozumel on a cruise and a week later a hurricane hit it and destroyed the ship dock and the shops on the pier. I remember going to Disney's Hollywood Studios, having to get a yellow poncho because it was just pouring. It poured from the moment we got there till we left at the end of the day.

On a flight back from Hawaii to home, they gave my mom's personal wheelchair to another lady who didn't speak English and then when my mom got off the plane, they had to radio their employee to bring it back to the runway.
