Vacations Aren't Too Bad

I don’t think I have ever really hated a vacation. I always expect them to be horrible, and full of forced family time. In reality, I’m mostly left to my own devices and have fun with the family I get along with.The only time I have a “bad” vacation is if a family member -- usually Maggie, Kattie, or Dad. -- goes off on a tantrum. Because that’s what they do if things don’t go their way. Besides that, my family’s vacations go quite well.

Now, when I go places with my friends, It’s a whole other story. We forget things and panic. Then, we try to fit seven people into a hotel room meant for four. We never fail to lose at least one person to the crowd or to bounty hunters. Everyone gets sick, but we refuse to leave until we have the full experience. It is a mess. A wonderful, fever-filled, crowd-weaving mess.
