Titanic Nominations
1. Most Overrated Tourist Attraction The Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. Needs more flowers, less statues and gravel.
2. Worst In-Flight Made-Up Rule A mean flight attendant decided not to let me pass. “It’s a galley, not an alley!”
3. Worst Hotel Wake-Up Service A B&B in Martha’s Vineyard where the owner’s Labrador barged into my room at 5 am and started barking maniacally.
4. Worst Train Ride The Long Island Railroad in New York, where I was forced to sit on the floor with my family, in the stream of refuse coming from the broken toilets.
5. Worst Souvenir The Elvis “Love Me Tender” Milk Bath at Graceland (that I purchased).
