Biggest mistake I made is not adequately informing the wife that when in Southern California, you measure how long it takes to get somewhere in time/minutes, not miles.
She thinks something 40 miles away is 40 minutes.
She got a rude awakening in going from Universal Studios to Huntington Beach - in rush 'hour'.......

Leaving my credit card at the front desk when checking into a hotel. And then leaving to go about my business for the day. Luckily, the desk clerk was honest and left the card under my door in the room. I did not even know it was missing. From then on I always make sure I get my card back at check in.

thinking a short vacation in Vegas with my teenage kids would be fun! Not!! At least we were driving in from southern California; can't imagine making it a big trip with kids from a faraway destination!

I was on a bus in Bermuda with my daughter. There were no seats left, so we chose to stand up while the bus was speeding and swaying from side to side on curvy roads (while the driver was engaged in a cell phone conversation!)
My daughter held on to nearby seat backs, but I used both hands and held on to the overhead bars. It didn't hurt and just pulled my arms from side to side. What harm could that do? It tore tendons and pulled BOTH of my arms out of the shoulder sockets. After unsuccessful shoulder surgery, I gave up and live with the results. I don't think I'll ever go back to Bermuda, but if I do I will certainly boycott Bermuda buses!

Somewhere in the west (CA or NV) my son wanted to skate. I opened the phone book, found a year-round skating rink, and off we went.
The problem was - we hoped for ice skating, that place turned out to be for roller-skaters.
It didn't cross my mind that a skating-rink may not have ice!
