    John is going to suffer a very long “dry spell” in the love dept. Serves him right for leaving the directions at home on the dresser.

    John’s going to spend the next 6 months sleeping in the bathtub! This will be the last time he ever leaves the directions behind.

    This might explain why April came along so late in their marriage.

    Elly I don’t blame you for being very angry. You were the one (as women always are) that it was business as usual. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tend to the kids, etc.

    Note to DKram, right on!

    Someone’s going to be very happy to find their cabin nice and clean thanks to Elly!!

    John on the other hand will NEVER live this one down. The leaky roof, the dust, skunked Farley… way to go John. No woman likes to work on their vacation. Make sure you tatoo the map on your forehead next time around.

    The wrong cabin? lol. That’s gotta bite!!

    Elly needs (and deserves) her own vacation after that one.

    Begining of the end when couples start disrespecting each other, calling each other names. If it happened to me, I’d have a good laugh and chalk it up as an adventure. At least it got us away from our old routine!

    Addy, it’s an adventure I wouldn’t have minded all that much (except maybe for the “moving” couch). Peaceful woods, fishing, not a bad mistake….

    This is exactly why I make a point of putting the directions in the glove box before I even start loading the car.

    they are both idiots; it seems to me that elly should have known a little bit more about her brother’s cabin in the first place, but finally elly realizes the truth about john

    Addy and JanCin:: I want t be there when you are in great good humor and having your wonderful adventure while sitting in the putrid outhouse. Don’t criticize if it has never happened to you. Peaceful woods, critters in the house (they are so cute, despite the fleas and ticks, and the kids LOVE to play with them) , smoking stove, filthy outhouse, with a baby and 7 year old not to mention the clueless husband. If it is just you and your husband, maybe OK, especially if you are young. With two young children, I don’t think so. Please post back when you actually go through an experience like this like I have. We’ll talk.

    bildi, Ted is NOT Elly’s brother. Ted is John’s annoying chauvinist single friend who still lives with his mother.

    Elly made a huge sacrifice just by agreeing to a camping trip - camping trips are NOT vacations for the moms. Camping trips are actually more work for the moms, since they have to pack, unpack, shop & clean when they get there, cook & clean all week, then pack again, clean again, unpack when they get home, & do a mountain of laundry while still doing all the normal household chores.

    Any mom who agrees to camping for a vacation is either a masochist, a saint, or both. Even my professional martyr mom never agreed o go camping.

    Elly is justifiably angry. John was lucky to ever get back from sleeping on the couch.

    Wow! The wrong cabin!!! Who didn’t see this one coming from about 100 miles away?!?!?!?!

    My idea of the perfect camping trip would be nothing less than a luxurious 4-star motor home!!!!!

    jerzy is absolutely right: a “vacation” like this for a mom is worse than no vacation at all! All it is is just twice the work as it is at home … and with the exact same “help” she gets there too (if she’s really unlucky – like Elly is)!

    John somewhat deserved this one. He yelled at Michael when Farley got skunked. Now he’s getting it back.

    Maybe John should have to spend a month in the cabin by himself as punishment for his idiocy. He could easily have called Ted to find out why the place was such a dump.
