The stuff of travel writers' nightmares
Dream trips by touching all of us to some degree. Despite a natural tendency to feel that we were chosen for special punishment, as the nightmare evolved, it was just part of the uncertainty that we implicitly agreed upon When we planned the trip.
However, if an author travels suffered in the line of duty, it was a different story. Long delays, setbacks or emergency not only discomfort, but the potential consequences of snowballing can affect the time entered, Publisher, publishers, pregnancy, financial investment, and even a long-term career.
I asked a group of writers that is perfect about their experiences more road trip nightmare; The story ran the spectrum disturbing drifts over sleeping in the spirit of the River on the way a storm ...
I stood at the edge of the sidewalk, shaking with fear. I'm not doing wrong, and yet I am way to doom-doom I could not help the fate that I want to go. And there, around the corner, down the road, it seems: the bus.
I never do anything good in the bus. In Croatia, on the bus I took a snack break, and left me in Split when I Borek oily. In Viet Nam, women began to vomit in a plastic bag immediately roll the wheel of the bus. In city after city that is accustomed to, I'll be driving in the bus, politely ask the driver, let me know when they are going down, and then when I asked again 30 minutes later, I regularly listen to, "what are you still doing here?"
This never happened in the subway, tram, ferry, taxi, train, or plane. But I was on the bus and I suffer. Once, on a bus in Chongqing, I suddenly realized that my journey to China failed, bad, and I had to flee the country soon. But after I came down, I was back in control. The world looks different; The best. I'm standing on both feet like I like it.

I am in Cuba task-which by the way also honeymoon suite. When my husband and I checked into a private home in the city, the mother house of the Viñas have a message: "you can stay here, but when the storm arrives, you can not leave the House, or I'll get in trouble. We do not know that a storm is expected, but when it was on television, there is a line with all three lanes, and one is directly through Viñas. His house was apparently strong enough to cement, so we agreed.
The next night when the wind blows, we stayed up all night playing Dominoes with the owner, commercial tequila glasses we brought back from Mexico with their rum kitchen. As a storm course through Cuba, another potential disaster for me has made a happy turn of events: we've done some fantastic Cuban friends.
