==Trivia==
*Homer is shown shaving off his stubble, which grows back moments later. This gag was also done in "Some Enchanted Evening", where Homer has a clean shaven look for precisely seven seconds, then his stubble regrows.
*Among the rooms at the "Aphrodite Inn Fantasy Rooms and Conference Center" are the following:
**The Arabian Nights Room
**The Pharaoh's Chamber (Homer notes that it has a vibrating sarcophagus.)
**The Caveman Room (Mayor Quimby, dressed in an "appropriate" outfit, comes out to say that the toilet is overflowing.)
**The Safari Room
**The Camelot Room
**The Utility Room (the hotel's actual utility room; Homer and Marge end up here because everything else is booked.)
*Originally, the subplot relating to the kids was supposed to end with their learning from Ralph Wiggum what was actually going on. However, it was cut from the episode when it aired because the writers couldn't figure out how to justify someone like Ralph as having any knowledge about sex.
== Goofs ==
*When Homer leaves to 'do some serious thinking' he drives away from the house in the orange station wagon (Marge's car), but arrives at the farmhouse in the pink sedan, he later leaves the farmhouse in the orange station wagon again.
*When Homer and Marge are in the car, between scenes, the windscreen goes missing. It becomes noticeable when the rearview mirror appears and disappears, and Abe's head manages to pop out when he and Homer argue over the getaway music.
*In this episode, both Homer and Grampa set fire to the Simpson farm, and it burns to the ground. The later episode "E-I-E-I-D'oh" creates a plot hole, as the Simpsons temporarily move to the Simpson farm, though it could have been rebuilt.
*In one scene in Bart's treehouse, Wendell's skin is yellow, rather than its usual white color.
