Call for submissions: humorous travel stories.
One year, my friend, Gurdon, and I went to Palm Spring to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We were two swingin’ bachelors looking to party in style. We arrived in sunny southern California, checked into our resort hotel, and stocked the bar in our room for the party that would no doubt be happening there later.
We poured ourselves a couple of cool drinks, and took them with us down to the pool. The hot tub was empty, so we decided to hop in for a few minutes before our swim. After a few sips of my drink, I put my head back, closed my eyes and before I knew it, I had nodded off.
When I opened my eyes, Gurdon and I were no longer alone in the hot tub. We were surrounded by a bunch of very big, very athletic, very serious-looking men — not at all what we had in mind when we decided to spend New Year’s Eve in Palm Springs! It turned out that the President was in town, and we were sharing a hotel — and a hot tub — with the Secret Service. Our plans to party it up went downhill from there.
Okay, that’s not much of a travel story. (Just the start of one, really!) I’m sure you can do better! Tell me about the humorous things you’ve experienced in your travels. We could all use a good laugh! Submit your stories with our online submissions form.
Submissions deadline: Open until further notice.
