Great story davidlee.

This isn't exactly a worst-stay-ever story - I'm not exactly sure what it is, maybe oddest place you've ever stayed - but somehow it seems to fit here.

Two summers ago my husband and I chartered two large sailboats in the British Virgins and went sailing for a couple of weeks with 12 of our friends. The summer in the Virgins is quite hot and humid and the boats didn't have a/c, which made sleeping difficult. Sleeping on deck was fine until a squall came through. One day we pulled into the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor for the night and discovered they have wonderful air conditioned bathrooms. Well ... can you guess where the crew slept that night? I have a wonderful picture of the crew, each in their own stall, on top of an air mattress, with their heads sticking out into the walkway. The janitor came in about 5 a.m. to clean. I guess he at first thought he had found some dead bodies, because he had a look of terror. It quickly turned into the funniest thing he'd ever seen. I'm sure he's still telling stories of the crazy American women who abandoned their yachts to sleep in the bathroom.
