I hate camping with the white hot intensity of 10,000 suns. Hate. It. Have I made my point???

But I'm glad you had fun. You are obviously a better wife--and all-around person--than I!

And,ummmmm, doesn't that cute lady who posted about hating bugs live in...... FLORIDA???????

Hello!!!!!!!!!?????? Isn't Florida the birthplace of BUGS??

Love your comments ladies! I'm afraid I'm in the Steph/Jen camp of camping. Ha!

We just went a few weeks ago and I actually had fun, for the first time in years. Still I'd choose a hotel over a campground any day.

Bugs, snakes, yucky bathrooms, stanger/ danger anxiety....ahhh good times. :)

hey! 10,0000 suns lady!!?? that Florida bugthing is a MYTH! if the bugs were as bad as northerners say they are, I wouldn't still be living in Florida...oh and OFF Dry Spray is my new best friend when the sun sets!

I love the no need for watches part too!!! And everything else you mentioned...besides setting up the tent with Lance, because I've never done that before.

O.K. camp haters.

10 things I hate about hotels:

1. The germs (and whatever else) of the 100,000 people who slept in this bed before me.
2. Hotel pillows
3. The too cold/too hot air conditioner.
4. The smell of the carpet.
5. The showers... either needles or mist.
6. The check-out time... I'm on vacation.
7. The myth of non-smoking rooms.
8. The fact that at any moment my kids might turn on the t.v. and see something that I don't want them to see.
9. The fact that at any time in the night... my kids might wake up and see something that neither they nor I want them to see.
10. No S'mores.
