Admit it. Don't you have your own stories about how the Promised Land that stood out in the glossy travel brochure and magazine reviews turned out to be a damp squib when you finally got there and saw it for real?

Celebrating these travel nightmares where all plans fall through and nothing is as imagined or told is Titanic Awards.com.
The website derives its logo and name from the doomed luxury ship Titanic, which provided the worst travel experience to those aboard.
Log on to read some of the most hilarious (a doctor talks about falling off a 30-feet cliff while peeing in Vietnam ouch!), disgusting (you could pick up a kangaroo's scrotum as an Australian souvenir), or simply unbelievable stories, photos and videos.
Categories on the website range from the world's rudest staff on airplanes to the most revolting loo experience. The website also confers awards based on reader votes, editor choice and an official study.
First impression? We were disappointed with the staid look of the website, but the video links and the definitive writing (courtesy Doug Lansky, who has also expanded the website into a book) makes sure some bogus fantasies are busted.
Browse through the worst "famous travel writers" or upload your own stories. There aren't many references to India, which is good news.
For an intrepid traveller, it is definitely heart-warming to know that you are not the only one who has spent a night in a room packed with roaches and the stench of vomit.
