"Are we there yet"
Who can remember as a kid, sitting in the back seat of their dads car with brothers of sisters going on holiday and just getting to the end of their road - all shouting together ""Are we there yet Dad""?
It always seemed to take forever to get to the coast - we lived a couple of hours from North Wales - and we grew impatient to see the sand, sea and donkeys before we even got as far as Chester. Then our parents couldn't get us off the beach - they'd be shivering in their anoraks at 8pm while we were still swimming and then they would be saying "are you sure you're not hungry for dinner yet?"
I think that question get handed down from generation to generation, I remember asking my Dad and then my son asking me. It's a family tradition! Ha-ha! Sunny :)

Happy Days :o)
I must admit that all I can remember was taking the bus and getting car-sick... :-)
I remember being that 'kid.'
I think you've perfectly described a timeless, world-wide phenomenon. I remember it well both as a child and a Dad.
Your Dad had a car - there's posh.
My dad had his trousers tucked in his socks, but he was still saving to buy a bicycle.

Oh yes----but I mostly remember my own sons asking that question a trillion times!!!!
We have LOTS of snow and ICE here...

Mac: I remember that, we had a grandmother who lived in a town about 20 miles from us. It seemed like it took forever to get there.
Lol :)
some of us are still travelling
I always sat in the front of the car, as my mum used to like to sit in the back. No seatbelt either. Them were the days!
If we're there, I want to know where we can from and how we got here!
