I travelled a lot with my family while growing up, so I had a few... interesting experiences over the years. A lot of these happened when we were used to take cruises. On my first cruise, I got an inner ear infection and had to go to the sick bay to get overpriced antibiotics. Apparently someone had died of a heart attack that morning, so young Spaced God was getting checked out on a table with a body bag poorly hidden behind a sheet. That was fun. The next cruise someone who was at the dinner table next to ours got in a fight with his girlfriend and jumped off. We felt bad for our wait staff because they told us everyone knew but didn't know what to say to the remaining family One cruise my dad had a seizure and we had to be hastily medivaced to Belize City when it was on lockdown due to a gang war. Driving through a gang war with an ambulance driver who has no idea where he's going while your dad is seizing up is not a fun experience. Getting stopped at a checkpoint with guns pointed at you while you get searched is also not fun. We got stuck in a hotel with a bunch of NYU sorority girls, so at least we got a lot of sympathy attention  (plus my dad was okay, which is even better). That experience pretty much poisoned the well for cruises though, so now we have property in Antigua, which is not known for gang violence... I think.
