Care to share any oddities on your vacation travels?

When we were in Paris, France they would have musicians performing in the corridors of the subways. When we arrived back home we learned that each musician has to try out before a panel of judges and only the musicians chosen are allowed to perform in the subways. They perform for tip money. We heard some absolutely wonderful classical musicians while we were there who drew a crowd.

I remember when my family went to Gator Land in FL (a real treat LOL) We were walking along this deck area looking down at all the gators in the water. I turned around and they had a life size ceramic gator sitting on one of the walkways. I screamed so loud they probably heard me in Georgia! The lady beside me turned as I screamed, saw the gator and she screamed too! LOL I will never forget that! My dad thought it was the funniest thing ever.

I also have a gator story! We went to a gator ranch/farm in Australia. It was dark and eerie and our guide was a little freaky. Gators were all over the place and kept jumping out of the water trying to get over the fences...freaky! But...it was also fun.

We also stayed on a cattle ranch for a few nights in Australia. They showed us how to castrate, brand, and tag the calves...it was pretty gross...

ROFL @ Jennifers story! I love it!


The only thing that happened to us happened in Minneapolis. Now we do not live in tornado country, never seen one except in the movie Twister. So here we are all cozy in our hotel room, watching some inane comedy show, when suddenly we see a warning on the bottom of the screen. Not one, but SEVERAL twisters spotted, heading in our direction,with warnings to get undercover.

My dh and I froze. Here we are several stories above ground. Can't even crawl under the bed. We called the front desk and they informed us that there was no real way to tell if they touch down since it was pitch black outside. With horror facination we watched the TV channels get sucked off, one by one. Then the hail began. With visions of twisters from the movie Twister in our head we leaped out of bed and got dressed, then laid on the bed again. It was all fine and good, no one was hurt. We still laugh to this day at our rush to get dressed. Like our clothes would have stayed on or mattered if we had gotten sucked out of a WINDOW!

Jennifer, your gator story was hysterical. You had me ROFL!

Mayfly, a twister on vacation? That could only happen to you (LOL). Guess you'll always remember that special moment (LOL).
Haven't had one of those experiences yet.

When I read ODD I couldn't help but think of this.

We were at a beach off the coast of Chile when we saw this man walking. He had several piercings, several tattoos, spiked bleached hair, and wore combat boots with a very small white speedo. Nothing was left to the imagination. I thought he had a leather jacket on, but Dd says no.(not on the beach, I guess.) Maybe I was just imagining that he should've been wearing that to round out the look. LOL

I was so mad at Gator Land for having that stupid thing on the deck area, but then I thought hey that's pretty clever LOL I wonder how many people react they way I did?
