     "Look! I don't know where you get your vacation ideas from." Iris yelled throwing her luggage on the hotel bed, "but this is the worst dump, I have ever been in and it stinks in here." she turn and look at Asaid, making him feel extremely guilty. " Oh, baby this is the best trip every, you said. I know the others turn out to be a disaster, but this is the best place in town, you said. Beautiful beaches with in minutes of one another." Iris open up her suitcase gets out a change of clothes. Asaid just stood there in shock; he didn't know what to said. Holding the clothes in her arms, she look out the window and saw businesses that were closed down, decayed buildings, cars driving up and down the street, and homeless people laying in the middle of the sidewalk. "Asaid?" she asks turning to look at him.

       "Yes."  He answers caution.

       "Where in the hell is the beach!" she asks throwing her change of clothes at him.

       "I'm sorry baby, but the travel agency a sure me, this was the place to go."

       "And what traveling agency was that?" she ask giving a sarcastic grin.

       "Buttons to Buttons traveler."

       "The same traveler agency that told you about those other great places, THAT RIPPED YOU OFF THE LAST SIX TIMES. Why, honey, why do you still go back to them? I don't get you."

       "My cousin works there."

       "Your cousin doesn't work there. Your full of crap! You only go to them, because you were told they were the cheapest in town."

        "I'm sorry, baby, I'm really sorry."

        "I'm sorry baby,” she snorted. I'm sorry baby my ass! Look at this dump, the bedspreads have stains and cigarette burns them. The carpet doesn't look like its been vacuum in a year, the furniture has a decade of dust on it."  Iris walk into the bath to used the toilet, when she turn on the light, it blink, than burnt out. "Great! The light in the bathroom is out!"

          "I call the office have someone come down and fix it!" he call out.

          "You call the office and get your damn money back!" Iris back out of the bathroom, and turn on the light over the sink.  Then went back into the bathroom and scream. "Aah, aah there's a snake in the toilet!"  She scream wavy her hands and jumping up and down, Asaid came running into the bathroom, and stop dead in his track, when he saw a little harmless baby snake.

              "That little thing? It won't hurt you."

               "Big... little... I don't care, GET RID OF IT!" she snarled

       Asaid reach over and flushed the toilet, and as he did the handle broke, and water started pouring out over the toilet bowl, with brown feces.

               "Whadda, I do the handle broke and it won't stop running!"

              " Use the plunger."

   Asaid look around there ain't no plunger. Iris looks down at her feet, as the toilet mess was rise and getting into her shoes. She quickly step back. Asaid follower behind her, the water came out into the room, before it finally stop. The carpet was wet, and made a slushing sound when they walked.  Iris sat down on the bed and looks down on her wet, stinky shoes and started crying. Asaid sat down beside her and put his arm around her trying to console her.

                   "I just want to be able to go on a nice vacation. Why can't you do that?” she cried.

                  "Baby, I'll make it up to you, I promise you."

                  "You said that the last five times we went out. It's always... " Iris felt something was watching her and slowly turn to see a big, black spider staring right at. "Ahh! A spider!" she quickly jumps up, grabs her luggage, with her clothes half hanging out and ran out the door. Asaid grab his belongs and follow her.

         Iris opens the truck door and got in. Asaid just stood there looking at her. She waved him to come on. He threw his stuff in the back and got in. He just sat there shaking his head. He had never been in a worser mess before, and he was very embarrassed about it. Iris patty the seat,

                   " Come on let's get this baby outa here."

Asaid started up the engine, put the truck in reverse, back out of the parking lot, then put it back into drive, drove out of the parking lot and down the road.
