The Top 10 Indications You Planned Your Vacation Poorly | The all-inclusive package included breakfast, Wi-Fi, and a mandatory duel with the village blacksmith. The grilled cheese bars are great, but it turns out that you're the only unattached person on the Kraft Singles Cruise. You're staying at a White Lotus resort, and they booked your room under the name "Season Five Victim #3." To avoid the crowds, you went to Burning Man off-season. The "Glorious Week of Cruising" package had none of the foreign ports you imagined, but two dozen gay bars. The words "whiskey," "Mecca," and "tour" should never be combined in Saudi Arabia. Sure it was a great deal, but flying Hindenburg Airlines to Krakatoa with a three day Chernobyl layover is giving you second thoughts. Your kids keep peeling chunks of blue paint off the pool. You told your travel agent you wanted to "go on a cruise and get blasted every night" so they booked you an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. You were sure two dozen pairs of underpants would be enough for a three-day trip to the Michigan Lettuce Festival.
