18 Hotel Stays That Went Off-Script in the Most Unforgettable Ways
When choosing a hotel for a trip, we dream of a carefree getaway where we can unwind and let go of all worries. However, sometimes reality presents a real-life adventure that even the most daring thrill-seekers couldn’t imagine. Here is a collection of stories from people who encountered the unexpected. Spoiler: sometimes it’s a real nightmare, and other times it’s generosity that takes your breath away.
I still remember when my husband and I managed to go on a vacation to another country for the first time in our lives. We flew to Egypt, took some tour as our friends suggested. Oh my goodness, I loved everything, from the flight and the airport to the hotel and the surroundings!
I couldn’t let go of my phone, photographing everything to remember, and kept asking my husband every minute: “Take a picture, take a picture, take a picture!” By the end of our 2-week vacation, he stopped responding to the name “Sven” because he became “Take a picture.
We stayed at an all-inclusive hotel. And so the vacation comes to an end, we’re waiting for the transfer in the lobby. Then an employee asks me to open my suitcase.
I was just stunned. And he chuckles and says, “Well, you know. Men often take toilet paper, and women usually take the towels.”
My mother instilled in me a love for experiences. She always said, “Your home is the foundation; everything else is experiences. No clothes, car, or watch will be remembered like traveling.”
