Here's a case where one of your horror stories could help you win a cool prize! Was there a time when you wished you'd bought travel insurance, or were soooo happy you did? Here's a new contest we're conducting with Alliance Global Assistance here on Tripatini in which telling us all about it in 500 words or less could win you a Kindle Fire!

It's vacation time, what's the worst that could happen? Hopefully, a mild case of the runs...but sometimes worse. This week's Travel Tip on The World on Wheels, we offer some strategies to keeping yourself safe and secure while away from home. I think you might find at least one or two of these suggestions new to you: http://tinyurl.com/6t2m5vl

Well, my "projectile vomiting  at 40,000 feet" horror story refuses to give up the ghost! Travelated.com, um, liked it so much, they've published it to gross out their own loyal membership. If you haven't read it yet, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy!

Why does our home team's stadium rank so low on our Fields of Dreams list (17 out of 19)? It all has to do with how they treat their disabled fans. It's Angel Stadium today on The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/27s8sgl

Forget your other "horror" stories: THIS is true horror, at least for me.

A true hotel horror story, from the age of service cutbacks: a little boy finds a used condom tucked into the sheets, blows it up as a balloon, and comes down with some unidentified infection in his mouth. This, of course, makes the stories of rampant bed bugs pale. Not to mention the occasional stories about black-light inspections of hotel rooms that reveal various icky substances over all kinds of surfaces.

How can hotels get away with this, to squeeze a few more pennies of profit out of their business? Shoujld there not be state inspectors running unannounced white-glove tests? How many people, and especially children, have to get sick or be eaten alive by bedbugs before something is done?

Hey folks, a fellow travel journalist, Hailey Ratigan, is looking for holiday travel horror stories from travelers for an October 5th deadline. Specifically, she's looking for stories about winter/early spring holidays spent abroad that
didn't turn out as expected -- ideally humorous. Also tips from savvy
travelers on enjoying holidays abroad. Responses should specify if
traveler was alone, on business, or with family. Include location, holiday,
and sentence or two on how things turned out.

Any juicy stories out there? Post them here!
