Synopsis

Vacation--no homework, no school, and no more teacher’s dirty looks! Unfortunately, it usually begins with the family sitting around somewhere or stuck in a plane, train, or car. BOR-IIIING! Fortunately, with these quizzes, puzzles, games, and doodles, the fun doesn’t have to wait, even if you do. And you can do them anywhere—no electricity needed—with just a pencil. Fill in travel quotes, writing in the name of anyone who says one of the phrases on the page—like "I have to go to the bathroom" or "I think we’re lost." Play gomoku, a two-person game that’s similar to tic-tac-toe. Plan the ultimate vacation—a week anywhere in the world. Draw creepy critters, try tongue-tripping-twisters, and unscramble anagrams. It’s all so entertaining that no one will ask the dreaded question: Are we there yet?

Your Vacation Begins . . . Now!
            The people who say “life is a journey” and “getting there is half the fun” aren’t the ones sitting in the backseat of a hot minivan for twelve hours while their parents argue over whether to listen to the GPS or follow the map to the next Best Western. Yes, traveling can be fun; however, the hours of sitting around waiting to get there can be agonizing. Well, with this book, your vacation begins before you even get wherever it is you’re going.
            Whether riding in a car, airplane, boat, train, or hovercraft (or waiting to ride in one of these), you’ll find something interesting to do right here. Every page is bursting with all sorts of activities, quizzes, puzzles, games, and doodles to take your mind off the fact that you’re not there yet. Plus, there’s nothing to plug in, no batteries required, and Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t necessary. All you need is something to write with, and your sweaty car, airplane, boat, train, or hovercraft ride will be the fun journey everyone tells you it’s supposed to be.
            Send me a postcard when you get there!
