We see vacations as a small respite from the everyday world. We go off for a week, have fun, come back and that's the end of it. But sometimes they can change our lives in unexpected ways.

Either for the better... or the worst.

You’ve never been the type to believe in summer romances, but that was before you met what you believe to be the person of your dreams. They’re funny and sweet. Smart and reliable. The kind of mate you had hoped to someday find. And in the most fortuitous turn of events, they’re from your same town. Returning home, your relationship only grows stronger and soon it's clear that they are the one.

They say the best vacations are composed of the memories you take and the friends you make. Well, you’re taking home a lot of memories and you've made a very good friend. It started as casual chitchat, but pretty soon the two of you were spending more and more time together. It was sad having to say goodbye, but each continued to keep in contact with the other. Within the year, she jumped at the chance to move closer to you and from then on you were both the best of friends.


E +8 Points
Love comes in many forms, as proven by this little guy. At first he was another stray, but quickly he won your heart and you decide to take him home. He’ll have to spend a month in quarantine, but you’ll be together soon enough.

We all like to have souvenirs of our trips. Little trinkets and baubles, to help recapture that special feeling vacations bring. Well, your souvenir is a house. You became so enamored with the island, you wanted a permanent summer home. It was a hasty decision, but one you feel good about. And you’re pretty sure you can afford it.

Vacations are a time to throw your cares away. We drink a little more, party a little more, and eat a lot more. And when it came to eating, you were unstoppable. It was all so savory and delicious, how could you say no? But as a result you put on some extra weight. You carry the weight for some months, saying, “I’ll go to the gym tomorrow.” Only when even your sweatpants start to feel snug do you decide to get your rear in gear.

Tourists are always a target for robbers, and regrettably you were hit. They took your wallet, passport and plane tickets. You’re told to visit your country’s embassy, but find out it’s on a neighboring island. Here’s the catch 22, you can’t leave the island without your passport. Here’s hoping this gets cleared up soon.


I +4 Points
The thing most hope goes wrong on vacation is a little bad weather. Unfortunately for you, what went wrong was a full out revolution. Right when you should be enjoying some fun in the sun, those pesky proletariat decided they’ve had enough. You spend the next couple of weeks pretending to fight for the Great Cause before you mange to steal a boat and head for the mainland.


B +3 Points
The island is dotted with some beautiful, old, historic houses. Seeing a small group of people enter one of these stately mansions, you wander inside on the assumption it’s a tour. Only when the police show up do you realize it’s actually a robbery and you’ve made yourself an accessory. You try to convince the cops of your innocence, but they’re not buying it. Better call your lawyer.


J +2 Points
Before your trip, you were sure to get all the necessary shots. Typhoid, hepatitis and the like. Too bad they didn’t have a vaccine for what you caught. In fact, this particular illness hasn’t been seen on the island in over a hundred years. It begins with fever and fatigue, moves quickly to hallucinations and, if not properly treated, can eventually lead to spontaneous combustion. Luckily you were able to receive the care you needed on time, but you’re going to be in a hospital bed for a while.


C +1 Point
Well this is a fine pickle you’ve gotten into. One minute you’re casually strolling along a moonlit beach and the next thing you know, you’re tied up and blindfolded in someone’s basement. You’ve been kidnapped, my friend. They intend to contact your family, but aren’t sure how international communications work. So they eventually sell you to a black market sweat shop. You plan to make a break for it one of these days, but not before you get that shipment of Louis Vuitton knockoffs out.
