Nobody Likes Planning A Vacation, But These 10 Logistics Really Suck

So if you are planning a family vacation all I have to say to you is good luck, asshole.

Family

This one is for all those vacation planners that absolutely dread planning.

1. Family size confirmation

Giphy

This inevitably messes with everything else. I have a huge family and the family trip can range anywhere from ten to twenty or more people. Finding the right house for our amount is nearly impossible.

2. Budgeting

Giphy

You may get confirmation from twenty people but now you have to create a budget plan. Your perfect home may be a little much from other people attending.

3. Rides

Giphy

Of course you can never fix one problem without another one inevitably arising. People have confirmed but now they are worried about how they will get there. So now you have to figure out a way to fit twenty people in three vehicles. It is going to be a hassle.

4. Money to reserve

Giphy

You have finally found the perfect home but now you need everyone to give you money to put aside the reservation. Suddenly, no one has the money right now and you just have to pray that house will be there by the following week.

5. Last minute cancelling

Giphy

It is finally time to reserve the home but now people have started to cancel on you. Now what? Well you either start over or see if you can find anyone else to go with you all last minute to make up for the difference. Good luck!

6. Complaints

Giphy

No matter how much effort you are putting towards this you will always have someone that complains. Get ready for it.

7. Final decisions

Giphy

If there is more than ten people going, I am already feeling sorry for you when it comes to this. Reaching a final decision is nearly impossible. They either don't wanna ride with that person or they don't like the house, etc.

8. Accomodations

Giphy

Let's say everyone wants a room or they want the house by the beach or lake. Maybe they even want the house to be next to a Wal-Mart. Well now you have got to accomodate everyone because if you dont, the whole trip may go straight into the trash.

9. Extra reservation fees

Giphy

You may have added about $100 for fees when reserving the home but now you are at the subtotal page and its a hundred dollars more than you expected. Get ready, the tears are coming. Call everyone and see if they are willing to pay more per person. Whatever you do, please try not to pay out of pocket.

10. You are always gonna be the asshole

Giphy

It is impossible to please everyone. Someone will complain about the location while another one nags about the extra fees. No matter how hard you try this will always fall back on you. It will always be your fault. You will be the annoying one who calls them everyday for money or doesn't choose a great location or completely messes it up. Be that asshole. They love to complain but ultimately they know that if you stop looking for a place, there is no vacation and everyone needs a vacation.

So if you are planning a family vacation all I have to say to you is good luck, asshole.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
