What type of problem did you have?

Dude - it was so bad it could've been one of those Chevy Chase "Vacation" movies. [hmmm, new thread material?].

First, it was HOT. I'm talking unseasonably, blistering, can't breathe hot. The overwater bungalows there have no air conditioning (surprise!) so it was impossible to sleep. Second, my wife got bad food poisoning in the restaurant and about a gazillion mosquito bites (gap in the bug net, also a new experience in a 4-star resort), so she was miserable. Trying to cool off, I decided to go for a swim. While climbing down into the water the ladder broke and I received an 8-inch gash in my thigh as I fell into the water. With no ladder to get back onto our deck, I had to swim about 200 yards to one the maintenance guys use. I climb up, walk about 500 yards (still bleeding) to the front desk -- and they tell me to, get this, take the next scheduled boat to the pier and hire a taxi to drive me to the Doctor - who I had to pay! When we got back to Honolulu we looked like wounded veterans returning from battle :wink:

I'd love to return and erase those bad memories. Any tips?

Aloha,

Vic
