Surely you mean THEIR story, NOT "THERE"?

their isn't really much to tell, in my case
Both my holidays were fabulous. The only thing I could describe as "hell" would be for both:
First one in Nice - person who booked the hotel forgot to book it for an extra night !! So we had to spend all night in the airport ready for our 10am flight. We looked fresh that morning. Still it was good fun and we had a good laugh across a deserted airport. Move over Tom Hanks...
Second was when me and my brother were coming back from Newquay. We were happily going up the M5 when we heard *HELPFULLY* on BBC Radio Deven that there was a massive tailback at Weston-Super-Mare and sure enough...about 10 seconds later we saw it and thankfully managed to get off at one of the exits. It did however result in having to go through Bristol (which wasn't nice...) and then to Cirencester where the trusty Fosse Way finally got us home 14 hours after we left Newquay.

Good Lord!
I actually lived in a caravan for a few months nearly 9 years ago, what a crazy time of my life that was. But yea, I can confirm that. Caravans are horrible.stu wrote:Caravans are horrible, do not ever stay in one at any cost!
I haven't really had a holiday from hell. I wouldn't mind going to hell for a holiday though, I bet its a lot warmer than this place.
When we booked into a caravan park near Edinburgh last year they'd accidently given us a Gold Standard one instead of Bronze or whatever the cheapest was. Caravan with an en-suite and luxury seating for only £20 a night each, you can't complain! 
We realised their mistake and booked an extra two days there within ten minutes of arriving!!
As for bad holidays, try Cleethorpes! Again a caravan park but this was so cold! It was April last year and VERY VERY windy. Cleethorpes is incidently a shat hole.
My favourite place to stay away is Whitby, only an hours drive away. Looks fantastic whatever the weather especially if an old ship like the Grand Turk is on public view in the bay. Looks magnificent...
