We've all had these experiences, weary, sick, unruly weather, all you want to do is check into your hotel room and pass out. You slide in the card, trudge in, turn on all the lights when (cue Psycho music)....

...no hair dryer?!?!?!?!?!

So, maybe I'm exaggerating, but even the best laid travel plans have a tendency to go off kilter. Your job in this contest is to be Worth1000's travel correspondent, jet-setting across the globe (or universe) to find the worst, and I mean WORST travel deals for you readership; the phenomenally priced hotel lacking the luxuries of indoor plumbing, the family vacation spot where the rides DO eat the people (thanks Jurassic Park),the pleasant bistro where even the health inspectors just roll up into the fetal position, chanting under their breaths, wishing it to go away. But the challenge, is to make us WANT to go. The bad, the worse, the downright unlawful of getaways.

The rules for this contest are thus: Create an amusing travel piece for the most terrible travel destinations ever. Keep it clean and review the text contest guidelines before entering. There is a 500 word limit. You have 5 days for this contest, so make it count. Thanks to Spook for sparking this idea.
