You should have tried travelling with my father. Trips started early in
the morning and had a lot packed into them, even if they were just a few
days. Don't eat too much or drink too much before departure because
there were no stops along the way. One one vacation when I was about 10
I had some sort of stomach ailment and several times I had to puke out
the window because he would not stop and let me out to do it.
