I've been fortunate not to be affected by that, but I did experience a *really* choppy boat ride once, and I was not in great shape afterward ;). So, I do not wish you any car trips this summer, LOL, but I do hope there will be tasty treats and good music within easy reach of your sofa!Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-59274342070292406392013-06-05T15:05:11.248-04:002013-06-05T15:05:11.248-04:00Oh, Marilyn, I am SO at the opposite end of that s...Oh, Marilyn, I am SO at the opposite end of that spectrum, the kid who was terminally carsick!

I only have one sibling, but my brother was very, very particular about his "space" and his things when he was a kid. It was always really funny watching him get set up for a trip in the backseat next to me. His handheld video games and toys had to be put in a certain order. His window had to be adjusted just so. His socks had to be pulled up evenly. It was a production every time, LOL. I usually just had a book with me, so I stayed clear of his paraphernalia and read!Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-74483364269625206952013-06-05T13:17:48.899-04:002013-06-05T13:17:48.899-04:00Thanks, Christa ;).

A Polish-speaking friend told me that the translated version of mine would be A European Vacation, and the online translator program said it was Holidays in Europe -- either way, I think it works!!Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-91228493539464057162013-06-05T12:51:35.792-04:002013-06-05T12:51:35.792-04:00LOL, Brenda!

I was so curious about mine that I went to Google Translate and cut/paste segments of the book description and cover copy. I now have a basic idea of what the Polish translation is, but I'm sure it's far from exact :).Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-12704216346909067442013-06-05T12:46:51.307-04:002013-06-05T12:46:51.307-04:00Thanks so much, Lori!!

It was not uncommon for us all to load in the back seat and sitting between my sister and brother to keep them from fighting while they annoyed me, we'd often be gone all day traveling for more than two or three hours getting to our destination. Now I wish I could remember more.<br />thanks and congrats againThe Reading Frenzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908245479700999445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-21617551196005942322013-06-05T10:05:22.185-04:002013-06-05T10:05:22.185-04:00Lovely cover.

One of the surprises was the new title, which I sometimes think was more appropriate to the book's theme:<br />"When I'm Gone" is so apt for a family reeling in the wake of their mother's death. Ah, just enjoy!S. M.
