Plot
Homer gets a magazine in the mail that's loaded with personality tests, and he relentlessly quizzes his friends and family with them. Later on he takes his own test, which says that he only has three years left to live. Marge suggests a few lifestyle changes only for Homer to have a mental breakdown, developing insomnia and going insane. The power plant's psychiatrist recommends Homer go on a long vacation for quiet recuperation, so the family head off to a town in Florida. Unfortunately, when they arrive it is Spring Break, one of the loudest weeks of the yar. Marge wants Homer to stay in his hotel room, but he escapes to party at a Kid Rock concert on the beach. Homer becomes the life of the Spring Break party.
Homer wakes up the next day, rushing outside ready to party, but Spring Break is over: The students are returning home. Homer tries to keep the party going, dragging the family along with him. He rents an airboat and they go through the swamp, accidentally running into the town's most famous resident, an alligator named Captain Jack. Despite the fact that Homer is the sole guilty culprit, the whole family is charged for killing the alligator. They flee from the Sheriff, and their car is hit by an Amtrak train, which pushes them along the tracks. The Simpson family get off the railway and end up at a secluded diner, where they work until the sheriff tracks them down.
For what they have done, the family is sentenced to forced labor. One night when they are working, the alligator appears - He had been stunned, not killed. The family is acquitted, but they are banned from entering Florida again. For their next trip, the family plans to go to North Dakota, the only state other than Arizona (which Homer complains "smells funny") in which they are allowed to vacation.
Reception
