Best/Worst Vacation | Blogtober ’14

Not going to lie… this particular prompt really stumped me. Why you might ask… well because I can tell you the BEST vacation but the worst vacation was a bit harder. I went through all vacations trying to decide if I even had a worst vacation… yeah some aren’t nearly as good as others but a worst… then I finally came up with this one…

Now I absolutely LOVED this vacation! Why would it be the worst? Well, because… let me explain.
The trip: 1995 – Charleston, South Carolina.

This was the summer I turned 12. I begged and begged my parents to let me go with my grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin and my grandma’s cousin to South Carolina. They usually went every other year and this just happened to be the year. My parents weren’t ever able to go and I really wanted to go to the ocean. They finally decided they’d allow me to go. This was the first trip I had ever been on without my parents and I was many states and miles away from my parents for a whole week. Now granted I was with family but not my parents. Home sickness kicked in big time. Cell phones really weren’t a thing back then so I had to use the house phone to call my parents. I called home every. single. day. There were nights I went to bed crying because I missed my parents. In the end I’m sooooo glad I went and I had an absolute blast when we kept the home sickness at bay… but… because I was home sick, I would say this was probably my worst trip to date.

Now the Best trip…
That is absolutely EASY!
The absolute best trip would be to Hawaii for our 1 year anniversary in 2011!

Yes I broke that trip down into 13 posts… sorry! But… I took over 2,500 photos. I went there with at least 6 cameras… I had my Nikon D5000, my Kodak underwater camera, My Nikon Point and Shoot, my iPhone, Hubby’s iPhone and my Mom’s iPhone… yeah I figured I’d only be in Hawaii potentially once in my life so I took a crap load of pictures. I was absolutely ready to move here after a week there but realized that wasn’t an option. Someday though I will go back :).
