The most impossible trip for me was driving over 1,600 miles to Texas in a van with a 3 month old baby who cried most of the trip. The book sounds great. Thanks for having this giveaway.

Driving through Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada on Christmas Day. It was definitely snowy!

The most impossible trip was one with my non-aunt who was given away at birth by my grandmother and reconnected with my mother in her teens and was trying to re-form a relationship again. Unfortunately she has a terribly snobbish husband and she had an inferiority complex the size of Titanic and thrives on making cutting comments through the holiday trip. In the end, we ended up quarrelling and the 10 day trip was just pure hell.

A trip to Europe by myself for 10 days prior to a teaching assignment. It was lonely but ultimately strenghening.

The most impossible journey for me was trying to get to a golf course by public transit, looking up the location on Google maps, then heading there, only to find out upon arrival t my “destination” that the map was for a different location with a similar, but different address. And no time to get to the right location.

Sounds like a good read! I don’t remember the trip (does that still count???), but I have heard the story a million times. =) I was 2, flying from South Korea to the United States from the Holt Orphanage to meet my new family. My Dad says I was extra special because he got to meet me before I came over (he & his Naval flight crew were smuggling medicine into Korea). He didn’t get to do that with my sister (a year older & not related biologically). 🙁

Now I have the song “Chevy Van” stuck in my head.

You win. My dog might have been dying, but at least he couldn’t talk. 🙂

How exciting! I wish I could see your performance.

The most impossible trip I took was a month traveling through China with my brother and parents. It was the summer after freshman year, and I couldn’t imagine leaving all my new friends behind for CHINA, of all hot, humid places. My legs got infected with mosquito bites, and I walked around covered in splotches of white powder.

Would you believe living in a converted Chevy van while traveling around the US including a side trip to Mexico that took four months with a seven year old and a four year old? We only paid for three nights of camping. Impossible today!

Driving back to CA from KS with my sister and two dogs, one of whom tiptoed to the brink of death and had us stuck in Needles, CA for a night. Oh, and I had to duct tape the windshield to the car body. And said dying dog also had an ulcerated cornea and thus had to make the trip with a cone of shame firmly attached to his head. Ah, good times…
