Here is a mishap story. On that trip to Burgundy, it was back in the late 80's as I remember, and I had found something called Hertz chauffer drive or something to take us from Paris to Beaune, and then on to Lyon for our flight to Nice. Anyway, for 9 of us we had a 15 passenger bus to take us everywhere. When we were on our way to Lyon to get a plane to
Nice, we ran out of gas! Driver was frantic. I was saying to him in fractured French from high school, "Il n'a pas de quois" or something like that. Then all the ladies went to sit on the grass on the hill beside the highway. One went a little further down, and sat in the grass and got attacked by red ants! So many fun travel memories I have!

Oh, and there was that time when we were on a chartered sail boat in the BVI's anchored at Virgin Gorda. A toy on the boat was a wave runner, and my 8 year old son decided to go out for a ride and went UNDER a big catamaran anchored nearby. It gave everyone a fit, captain of that boat almost had a heart attack along with the folks onboard. Luckily, his head cleared and he came out on the other side with it on, not having a clue. True story. I would have died of heart failure had I seen it. I was nursing the other son for an inflamed lymph node on the boat, and missed the whole thing.
