Travel Stories – VOTE HERE!
March 28th, 2010My flight was delayed on my way back from #SESNY. And I was bored. So I decided to give out a free dozen cupcakes to the person with the worst travel story.
Problem is, we got, like, 40 kajillion responses. I did my best to narrow them down, but now I’m too stressed/entertained/indecisive to pick a winner. So I’m delegating that decision out to you.
Please vote for your favorite (just submit a comment with A, B, C, or D) and that person will win FREE CUPCAKES, delivered to their Chicagoland office next week.
We’ll keep voting open through Tuesday, 3/30/10 until 12:00 noon, Central time.
A – @ShannaQuinn:
My suitcase was damaged. I had personal items strung out on the claim conveyor belt which I had to scoop up as they went by.
B – @jfhoff:
seeing two shoving matches break out as people boarded the 7:06 am train from Naperville to Chicago. Relax, people!
C – @debbieupper:
Not airplane-related, but once got barricaded into a state park in India, held up for moolah. #CUPCAKES
D – @Phampants:
worse was when i lost my debit card while backpacking europe. i had to survive 15 days w/ 350 euros & 60 pounds
Get voting! The one with the most votes wins!
The fine print resides here.
[By the way, I almost picked this one:
@antrants: SYD to LAX, pilot had to re-route half way, crashed, got lost on an island, had to time travel with some dude to get back.
But come on. That's so been done before.

@houseonahillorg If I win, I will tell you how I survived. I’ll hint you to this, my supervisor joined Twitter mostly because he knew something would go wrong in Europe (since I was backpacking alone) & he knew I would tweet about it. Sure enough, that Monday he was at his desk when he saw my tweet popped up. He did a double take and proceeded to informed the whole dept that I lost my debit card
