What is something you were excited for only to end up really disappointed?

Question

Answer 1

My first dirt bike! Couldn't wait to get it and then found out it was a nightmare to work on and that was all the time!

Answer 2

Trying caviar for the first time many years ago.  What a letdown that was!

You should have washed it down with a lot of champagne.

Oh I always remember how we could count on you for the definitely definitive solutions...

Answer 3

The first time I handled snow. I thought it would feel more like cotton.

Comments

Lucky it wasn't yellow snow!!!

I knew enough not to touch that... I saw how it got yellow.

Answer 4

Betio Island! In the Tarawa atoll now called Kiribati. Such a small island for so many to have died on. Red Beach One where the Marines initially landed looks like a garbage dump but they are working hard to make the little island as pristine as some of the others in the atoll.

Was really disappointed in the trash where so many good Marines died.

That really is a shame. I hope the rest of your trip was a whole lot better!

It was. We really loved Guam. Hot and humid but beautiful!
