So what do we have against kids
having a good time on vacation?
Actually, nothing, it’s the lousy
parents who were raised in a barn Dand passed on similar traits to their brats
that spoil traveling for those who have well-behaved children.
My disdain for rug rats on
vacation began after one particular cruise.
While the ship’s captain was greeting passengers with a welcome aboard
wine and cheese spread, an unattended kid busily grabbed purses, briefcases
and cameras and tossed them into the pool, as he clapped chubby hands together
in glee.
Of course, it wasn’t the toddler’s
fault. Blame the parents, who should have never left the child unattended
because there’s no doubt that the kid had exhibited raucous behavior toward
property before.
Talk about instant justice. The captain asked, “who’s child is this? Will the parents please come claim him!
“ Seeing the wild-eyed couple have to
put down their wine and reclaim the child was one of those classic want to get away moments. Lots of unhappy folks stared down into the
water at their ruined Nikons.
But we’ll end this whine by
raising a glass of wine to Travel &
Leisure magazine, who just published a list of top-rated international
resorts for adults only. Yippee. Click here.
