Oh, poor Goat...that happened to a friend of mine. She got 
stranded in a Los Angeles hotel room with  four-year-old twins. 
That was when she broke down and bought them the  video 
game system she'd sworn they'd never have. She says it saved 
her sanity.

Me, my mother was planning a cross-country car trip when she 
noticed I was looking a little off. She took me into the doctors 
office for a check-up. He was just telling her that there was 
"absolutely nothing wrong with this child" when I broke out in 
spots. I was still sitting on the examining table.
"Oh my god! She's got chicken pox! Get her out of here!" 
"But," my mother asked, "can I take her to California?"
"TAKE HER ANYWHERE! JUST GET HER OUT OF HERE!!"

So, we drove to California. I was not allowed to go in any 
restaurants (this was before drive thru's) so I had to take all my 
meals in the car. With the dog. My brother would come out after a 
while with my order and something for Lady. People were more 
relaxed about leaving children by themselves in those days.
