In 1982 my family and I went to Knoxville for the World's Fair...it was awful...we arrived late to our "motel" which was a trailer in a trailer park...in fact our trailer had been modified into two units...the guy next to us told us he had an apartment!! LOL! It was hot, people were passing out from the heat, the exhibits were poorly done and uninteresting, food was bad, my cousin wandered off and we could not find him, my brother and I got into a big fight!! My dad kept trying to act like it was fun, when he too, was deeply disappointed...not a good two days at all. Even to this day when I pass through Knoxville and see the Sunshpere I shudder! Now many years later, we laugh about this trip...for some reason we bring it up everytime we all get together!

Not a family vacation, but something similar. My parents shared this with us when we were kids. They had little money after they married and decided to go on their honeymoon out west. They drove for miles and miles and couldn't find a motel out in the middle of nowhere. They finally found this place that they referred to from then on as "The Chicken Coop." The name says it all. It was absolutely awful, but they settled on it because they were exhausted. The next morning they got an early start. They pulled out of "the coop," drove over a hill and happened upon a beautiful hotel with all the extras.
Lousy luck, but it made for a memorable honeymoon that lasted 45 years.

Well, I guess that trip paid off after all. If you could go back now, would you change it?
