Ever come home from vacation needing a vacation? Welcome to my San Diego disaster!
This family road trip had everything...cockroach-infested hotels, overpriced California breakfast, Comic-Con traffic, raw sewage at the beach, impossible parking, overpriced tourist traps, and enough chaos to make me swear off road trips forever.
In this episode, I break down one of the worst vacations I've ever had. From bargain motels where the bugs apparently pay rent, to breakfast restaurants trying way too hard, to Southern California crowds that somehow made Disneyland seem relaxing.
We'll talk about:
- Why cheap hotels aren't actually cheap.
- The breakfast that offended both my wallet and my taste buds.
- Comic-Con turning San Diego into complete gridlock.
- Theme parks, lockers, sweaty strangers, and overpriced food.
- Why Panda Express ended up being one of the best meals of the trip.
- The beach... featuring sunburn and sewage.
- The moment we packed up at night after discovering more roaches in our room.
- And why the best part of the entire vacation was driving home at 3 AM.
If you've ever suffered through a family vacation that looked amazing in the brochure but turned into an expensive endurance test, this episode is for you.
Sometimes the destination isn't the problem...
Sometimes the destination is California.
