A HELL of a trip

These top four headlines in the center of The Drudge Report today just have to make you wonder why you should ever spend your hard-earned money on traveling (not to mention all the OTHER reports about stranded passengers and lost luggage). And hey: What about all the filthy sicko cruise ships out there where people either get sick, fall overboard, or DIE?


Sewage flows down aisles of trans-Atlantic flight


Computer Failure Stalls United Airlines Flights


SFO nightmare -- 400 stuck on plane 7 hours


Passengers Spend 5 Hours On Plane At LaGuardia


My first lesson was in an early episode of Saturday Night Live in the 1970's: Just because someone puts a white paper strip of approval around the toilet seat does not necessarily mean a damn thing folks!

My second lesson came when a boyfriend thought a trip to Tijuana would be a nice Valentine's Day gift -- NOT. He hadn't planned on spending any money on a hotel or motel (not him) but did take a look at one when he felt too tired for the long drive home. The pube on the sheet gave him enough energy for the drive.

Think of just how clean your house actually is after living in it for 20 years. That's how clean all those tiny little hotel rooms are. The cruise ships have to recycle your air and water somehow--yuck.

I'm stayin' home and saving my money for a trip to Wyoming.
