August is almost over and that means the kids will be back in school and summer vacation season is at an end.
For some, that's a bad thing. For others, the start of fall couldn't come soon enough.
Sure, you may think every summer vacation is all about rest, relaxation and prime time to spend with family and friends -- but that's only in principle.
See, the harsh reality -- the reality you don't see on your friend's Facebook albums -- is that part of summer vacations involve flight delays, cancellations, crying kids, broken buses and hot, sticky moments where you'd kill for air conditioning.
Yes, summer vacations have an ugly side to them, but you know what? It could always be worse. Case in point, you could be on vacation with these people.
