I just found a pretty interesting article in the USA Today about… Tales of honeymoon mishaps ahead
By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY
The quintessential honeymoon gone haywire has to be the one in the 1972 movie The Heartbreak Kid, in which a bridegroom (Charles Grodin) falls for a bombshell (Cybill Shepherd) while his bride is room-bound with a sunburn. The remake, starring Ben Stiller, opens today. But what about real-life horror honeymoons? USA TODAY asked readers to point the way to their post-wedding travel woes.
Termite crossing
On the way to Kauai (Hawaii), I developed a dragging, loud cough. We stayed in a bed & breakfast near Poipu Beach. It was someone’s home, and you stayed in the only other bedroom in the house. Each day and night, I would have huge coughing attacks.
One night we were watching TV, and I was really coughing. All of a sudden, my wife screamed, “Your back!” It was covered with bugs!
The homeowners came back home, and I told them that they had a bug problem, and we were getting out of the house. The wife turned to me and said, “Were they little red ones?” I replied, “Yes.” She said, “Don’t worry. Those are termites. I killed a few hundred the other day!”
We departed the next day to Maui.
