Good trips
We all hope for good trips and never always get them, so what about some of the bad trips? You know the ones where you get to pull over every few hours, or someone gets carsick. What about those?

I have not had too many bad ones I guess I have been lucky. The best by far was a trip that was 1/2 a day of driving and my child slept through all of it, however we were up all night once we got there.

When we moved one year in the summer from down south to way up north (Florida to Mass) I got the worst sinus infection ever. I walked around with a blanket and teddy bear in the 90degree heat I was so miserable. My parents wanted to sight see and look about and all I wanted to do was sleep. I was 12.

A few years ago we went to Maine (from Vermont) with another family. In total their were 5 cars between all of us (16 people). Someone had the brilliant idea of riding in a line with radios so we can talk to each other. Worst mistake ever! 2 cars (mine and 1 other) had small kids, and do you think they all had to go to the bathroom at the same time? Nope. I think we stopped twice for them. Then another car started overheating, so we all stopped to check that out. Then the older lady who was in another car had to get out and stretch cause her back hurt. It took about 6.5 hours to make a 4 hour trip. Never again!

On a family vacation when I was a kid, my grandfather split his chin open while we were white water rafting in Colorado. Then a few days later he comes down with a severe ear infection from having water in his ear and not getting it out. We spent quite some time that vacation in the emergency clinic!

We've had pretty good luck so far. We lost a tire in the Rockies on our drive from Seattle to Iowa, but we were only 30 miles from Missoula (it could have been much further!). We did have to buy a car just before leaving because our old car blew out the engine, but it was better for that to happen before we left than during our trip!
