Summary
This is the second part in a two-part Travel Nightmare series where we are telling some of our own travel nightmare stories, but also sharing so many from all of you out there. From lost luggage and horribly-timed illnesses to stolen passports and cruising without luggage, there are some scary cautionary tales here (and maybe a few that are good for a chuckle). Thanks so much to all of you that have shared your worst travel moments with us. We loved hearing and sharing them. Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | We hope you liked this past Wednesday's podcast because today is more of the same. |
| 0:04.4 | Hello and welcome to Addict of the Mouse. |
| 0:05.7 | Today is Sunday, May 24th. |
| 0:07.4 | You're listening to episode number 800. |
| 0:10.5 | Ooot-Woot! |
| 0:11.5 | And today we're talking about Travel Nightmares Stories to Haunt Your Best Vacation Dreams, Part 2. |
| 0:17.9 | Music Dreams part two. |
| 0:36.4 | Hey everybody, Dan and Leslie here. Thanks for joining us today. And I mean, |
| 0:38.3 | okay, we're full disclosure. |
| 0:44.0 | We're skipping news and reviews because you guys showed up with these travel stories. And we have so many of them. I'm not even sure. I don't think we're going to get through all of them today. |
| 0:47.5 | They kept pouring in after the last one. And so, yeah, if we don't read yours today, so sorry. But we did actually read them and enjoy them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll get through as many as we can, but we do have a time limit that we have to. So just FYI, we are pre-recording this, which is another reason we're not doing news and reviews. So we'll catch up on news and we're just going to get through as many of these |
| 1:11.3 | as we can. Yeah. But I think we need to take a quick moment and just like recognize that we have |
| 1:17.9 | been doing this for 800 episodes. It's technically more than 800 because there's like |
| 1:23.7 | partial episodes in there that I didn't like fully number. So these are just like the fully numbered |
| 1:27.9 | podcast episodes. So that's wild. That is crazy. We have done this longer than nine years. So next |
| 1:35.2 | March, we will hit our 10 year anniversary for this podcast. We should do something real special. |
| 1:40.3 | We got to come up with something really special. We got some time to think about it. But yeah, |
| 1:43.4 | because we just hit nine years a couple of months ago. Oh my goodness. That's insane to me. |
| 1:48.0 | All right. We are going to dive right in. If you missed the last, the last episode, these are travel horror stories that we reached out to all of you and asked to provide. And I mean, like I said, you showed up. I am not sharing names |
| 2:03.0 | just in case because I didn't ask permission for names. So we're just going to move forward with |
| 2:08.0 | with just stories. Okay. Before we get to listener stories, should we share another one of ours? |
| 2:13.5 | Yes. So, okay, we've got several that are not super bad, but pretty annoying, just like delays, cancellations, that kind of thing with flights. And they all typically are on international legs for whatever reason. Like we go overseas and we try to get back home. And then the trek getting back home, it's like the Odyssey. It's like I feel like Odysseus out there. You know, there's a cyclops. I'm going to, you know, I just like. I'd rather it be on the way home than on the way there. That is fair. That is fair. Okay. So the one that is is really forefront in my mind right now is the one where we diverted to JFK. We were supposed to go to CLT, which is Charlotte. So we're supposed to go from London Heathrow. |
