Vacation from hell

Jane and I were sad, and our boss said we should go on a vacation to a beautiful coast if we didn’t mind the cost. Then we came across a picture on Facebook of an old friend sitting on a boat he’d bought in the Philippines. We couldn’t get over how gorgeous it was. We immediately phoned the travel agent, who we were quite fond of, and told him to set us up a flight using our joint savings fund. Our plane was to take off the next week, and that is when our plans started falling apart. Our plane got delayed due to bad weather, and we ended up sleeping in a tiny bed in a bad part of the town in a crummy hotel. The next day, on the way back to the airport, wouldn’t you guess, our taxi ran out of gas.

Thirty hours later, we finally arrived at our hot hut on the beach and settled in. We took a nap and woke up to some strange man in a robe who we thought was going to rob us, but he just wanted to rub our bags. I don’t know how he got into our room. For dinner, the restaurant only served ox head, which they cut off with an axe right in front of our eyes. It was terrifying. We ran into our old friend while watching ducks by the docks after dinner. He got drunk and started screaming at us, but we couldn’t make out what he was saying. The next morning, our wallet and purse were stolen. We decided we’d had enough. We couldn’t put up with any more trouble. We went home the next day and never looked back.
