Top 10 Worst Things About Vacations

We may have fun taking a break from life, but of course it has its disadvantages.
The Top Ten
1 Packing

It takes days (even weeks) to pack clothes, my camera, chargers, my phone, iPad, sunscreen, etc., and then my mom makes a list and checks it twice, and when we're flying, we have to check our stuff to make sure that it can go through airport security.

Planes have regulations on stuff like toiletries. In 2015, when we visited LA, my younger cousin packed sunscreen, and it got taken away by airport security. It made her very angry.

2 Other Countries

Like if you go to Mexico, people ask, "Are you from out of the country?"

Well, I have bags, so where did I come from? A store?

3 It's Hot

People go on vacations more when it's summer, so it's so hot.

4 Staying at a Hotel

I like the hotels, but the rates are so expensive!

5 Expensive

We spent at least $5000 (maybe even more?) in summer 2015. For 3 people (me, my sister, and my mom):

- @$100 per person for Disneyland 1-day park hopper tickets. It's $300 total.
- Airfare is like $500 each?
- We stayed at the Linq in Vegas for about $150 per night per person. We spent 2 nights in Vegas, so it's like $900.
- We ate at the Mirage buffet in Vegas, which was $35 a person.
- We ate out nearly every day.

This is a partial list. We also did the Warner Bros studio tour, Universal, CA Science Center, fake horse rides, etc. Luckily my relatives helped pay for the majority of that stuff. We stayed at their houses in LA and San Francisco, so we only had to pay for a hotel in Vegas.

We also went to NYC later that summer, but luckily we hardly spent anything there.

6 You're Not Even Gone that Long
7 Sunburns

My face looks like I got a bad rash on it!

8 Being Tired When You Come Back

I slept in until 1 PM after coming back from vacation. Normally, I wake up around 10 AM.

9 Packed Places
10 Changing
The Contenders
11 The Wifi
12 Airport Security
13 Sunscreen

This is absolutely necessary unless you like to get blisters and painful sunburns that last 1-2 weeks. Argument invalid.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, and more sunscreen...

14 Parking Fees
15 Foreign Languages

You don't get it when you ask some locals questions, like for example in Russia, they wouldn't understand you, which is annoying and pisses people off.

16 Babies Crying
17 Police
18 RVs
19 Resort Fees

In Vegas 2015, I stayed at the Linq. It was a Caesars Entertainment hotel. Their company doesn't have resort fees where you have to pay separately for stuff like WiFi. Vegas' other hotels are MGM properties, and they have resort fees.

20 So Many Things to Do and Not Enough Time to Them

For example, southern CA has so many cool things that I wanted to see, but since last time I was only there for a week, I only did Disneyland, Universal, Santa Monica, Warner Bros, CA Science Center, and Hollywood. Other stuff like Dodger Stadium, the Rose Bowl, Knotts, Magic Mountain, and Sony will have to wait for a future trip.

I wanted to do Fremont Street in Vegas, but since we were only there for 3 days, we mainly did the Strip.

In San Francisco, I only spent like 3 days there both in 2017 and 2015, so I only did the Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, YT headquarters, and the Santa Cruz boardwalk. The other stuff like the 17-mile drive, Paramount Great America, the Transamerica Pyramid, and AT&T Park will have to wait for a future trip.

21 Suitcase/Luggage Regulations

Only carryon and 1 personal bag allowed on plane and they must be a specific size

22 Time Flies So Fast

If its about going to a far off place with JUST FAMILY, Then its totally... opposite.

You're having such a great time that before you know it your vacation is almost over

23 Gas Prices
24 They Only Come Once Every Few Years
25 Kids Have to Wait Until Summer to Go

Sure, some kids go on spring break, holidays, etc., but not my family. We only go during the summer.

Same here. And my dads say, I can't. I'm working, every time I want to go somewhere.
