I'm on vacation and I stepped on a red anthill, and by stepped on I mean I sat on a ledge with my foot hanging over the anthill for about 10 minutes before stepping down onto it.

Stuck my foot in the pool to try to get rid of them only to ruin my only pair of pants and walking shoes I had for 3 days before we could do laundry/get the shoe dry. Also they just do not sell afterbite where I am so I've been trying different shitty creams that haven't done much for the ~15 ant bites I have on my leg.

Also this was a few days after I forgot one of our travelling phones on a bus and it was not recovered.

Also, it was my only pair of pants because I had ruined my other pair of pants when I slipped and fell into a puddle.

Hopefully your vacation takes a turn for the better after all that.
