Rental Cars Don't Float and Other Travel Mistakes
For travel nuts, trips top many a resolution list--- who doesn't want to resolve to explore the Greek Islands? However, before you were your own travel agent, your list might have included a more basic promise to be a smarter traveler. Looking back at a travel mishap, you might crave some sort of divine intervention---a way to go back and know then what you know now.
But what's the fun in that? Some of the best travel stories involve lost luggage, misspent money, and a few wrong trains. We've compiled a light-hearted list of forums threads that delve into some of our users' experiences doing it the hard way:
