We all remember special days at school, whether it was going on a field trip, doing a science experiment, or performing in a school play.
Before I lived in America, my husband and I did a Californian road trip. We took a month, starting off in L.A. I love the landscapes of California: one moment you’re in the desert, the next you’re up in the Napa Valley or by the water in Big Bear.
I was told before my first trip that no city in the world offered the dreams you could have sleeping in Havana. But nobody warned me that Havana also always feels like an exhausting nightmare that never quite fulfills the promise of what it’s threatening you with.
L.A. is brilliant, but however long my trip is I’m always ready to leave. But New York I’m never quite happy to see the back of.
Casting is a convoluted kind of trip. No one likes to be typed – even if you’re a cab driver, or whatever you do.
You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover’s arms can only come later when you’re sure they won’t laugh if you trip.
Why trip off some random person in Idaho that doesn’t feel my vibe? Like, no thank you. Stay in your life; I’ll stay in mine.

When I made my first trip to Israel as a member of Congress, not only did I meet with the Israeli president and prime minister, but I also traveled to Ramallah to meet with the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority. That’s what being a member of Congress is about.
I really, really, really want to do a silly romantic comedy where I can just have a crush on the guy, trip over myself, and laugh and be goofy. I just feel like all I do is cry, sob, and fight zombies and the bad guys.
I have a couple of dozen books on my reader: ideal for a long trip or an afternoon waiting at the medical clinic. It’s flexible.
Be it a trip to the dentist, getting an injection or even coming home with a good report card, my reward always had to be a book. I didn’t care much for anything else.
Mom and I often talked about the trip we’d someday take together to the ‘city of eternal spring’ where she was born. In Kunming, she said, the fruits are sweeter, the mountains look like Chinese paintings, and the weather is always perfect.
My wife made me a book of photographs she took of our road trip across the United States. Makes for a good coffee table book.
Eric’s Trip is still a huge influence on me. The style of those recordings and the rawness of them is very inspiring. And the density of the distorted parts, amazing.
I enjoy shopping for unique shoes and hats when I’m on a trip.
I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn’t. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You’re looking at a real daddy.

My earliest musical memory is of my older sister playing me Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ on headphones in the back of the car on a road trip.
Not a single Mainer should be rationing their medication or avoiding a trip to the doctor because they aren’t sure what it will end up costing.
When I was 17, I went to India for six weeks and had what, at the time, was a very challenging trip.

I remember we were just trying to park one night somewhere and people were just sleeping in the parking lot.
My first trip was probably to Camber Sands in East Sussex, where I remember playing in the dunes on the beach.
Map out your future – but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.
I remember being on a plane a few years ago. And me and this woman sat coldly next to each other for a cross-country trip, fighting over the arm rest the whole time. But then, about an hour before we landed, we noticed that we both had on ‘Housewives,’ and suddenly, we were best friends.
I do believe in the Bible as the final word of God. And I do believe that God said the Earth would not be destroyed by a flood. Now, do I believe in climate change? In my trip to Greenland, the answer is yes. The climate is changing.
A road trip in Cuba is probably top of my list.
‘Each One Lost’ I wrote the day after I got home. My week in Afghanistan was a very short trip, but it was a powerful experience.

On a trip to Cabo San Lucas, I was obsessed with Donna Tartt’s ‘The Secret History.’ We were staying at the Esperanza hotel doing all sorts of lovely things, but I couldn’t wait to get back to the book at night.
Growing up, I had really bad skin. I had a skin disorder. Yes, I did. And my mother went to great lengths to try to find something to remedy it. I remember she took a trip to Madagascar and came back with all these alternative, medicinal herbs and stuff. They didn’t smell so good, but I think they worked some magic.
My eyes were bad. I stuttered. I had hepatitis, double pneumonia, even anemia. When I was 7, my family took me on a trip to Cuba, and all my ailments disappeared. Cuba gave me health, so I’ve been deeply attached to Cubans ever since.
The trip I made to Angola to study the prehistoric contents of the gravel beds as a means of deciding the age of the deposits and their economic potential was the first time prehistory had ever been used for such a purpose.
When I visited Israel for the first time, in 2014, on a trip sponsored by the National Religious Broadcasters, I went to the Museum of The Bible with our group. There, we saw the most ancient and original versions of both the Hebrew and Christian bibles.
When I was seven, I went on a school trip to Blankenberge on an overnight ferry and I remember watching the White Cliffs of Dover disappear into the distance. After that trip, our family always spent holidays in Britain and Ive been to nearly every cathedral in Britain.
I felt like I’ve accomplished a lot in the boxing world that a lot of people don’t give me credit for. But it’s life. I don’t trip over it.
In my space journey, I felt vulnerable because we did not have anyone with medical background. When we make that big trip to Mars, we would need a doctor on board.
The king is so subtle with his words that he would confound the apostolic religion itself. He will find the weak points of the pope’s character and will trip him up to his destruction.
With my father, there was one baseball game, one football game, one fishing trip. You got one of everything. And that was all you got. It was enough, though, and I adored him. He was a god to me.
If you’re on a road trip, you need driving music.
My first trip as a captain against Pakistan in 2003 – we had never won there before, but then we won both the Test Matches and One-Days.
After 13 years of life on the half shell in Hollywood, I have made a trip where I wasn’t a tourist.
Like in Athens, it went by so fast and I mean, I remember it being like the best trip ever. And I am so excited for Beijing. Like at Opening Ceremonies when you walk out with your whole team and you are all marching and they light the torch, I mean – it is so exciting.
I was in the South of France. I saw a Brownie on a school trip. She was holding up a book. It said on the front ‘rough guide’. I thought: ‘Yeah’ she’s not a looker.
A baby comes with such responsibility. Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.
My husband is the romantic one in our relationship. He’s always doing sweet things for me. Each year, we recreate our first date – it was a blind date, and we met at the zoo, followed by a trip to the museum. I’d have to say that’s my favorite romantic date.
One moment that changed my mentality was the first time I went to Mali when I was six. Soon after that trip, Barcelona signed me, but when I was there I saw children like me, six years old, who didn’t have shoes, while I had the opportunity to fulfil my dream. It shocked me. I was six and I didn’t understand.
One part puzzle mixed with one part racer with just a dash of art and music just to blend everything together, ‘Dyad’ takes you on a fast-paced trip down a tunnel filled with lights and a shifting list of rules to keep your neurons nimble.
The immediate effect of the deficit is to make you feel good, like when you go on a trip and pay later. You feel good, and then you get a hangover. The deficit makes you feel good – until you pay later.
My first trip to Japan, in 1998, began with an enormous crowd of Japanese paparazzi and television crews, all waiting for me to clear customs in Tokyo (a first-time experience for this wine critic). Over the next five days, the attention never waned.
