We only stayed in a hotel once during the whole trip, writes Star reporter Roveena Jassal
It’s 2011, and I’m sitting in the back of our family’s dark green minivan with my feet dangling next to a laptop stand, once again watching the movie “Inception” during what would be one of the most cherished trips of my childhood.
Along the way, we marvelled at the expansive Mall of America, slept in freezing temperatures in the middle of July at Glacier National Park in Montana, canoed on crystal blue waters at Banff and Jasper national parks, took pictures with shaky hands of a bear crossing the road in front of our car, and ate the spiciest Thai food I’ve ever had at the Calgary Stampede.
About halfway through our trip at Glacier National Park, my dad was experiencing excruciating back pain. Some water was dripping through the tent, it was snowing, and the ground was feeling much rockier than usual. After filling our bellies, it started raining heavily with a chance of more snow. As we scrambled to put all of the dishes away, my dad had his thinking face on.
We stuck together no matter the weather and no matter how much anyone complained because no one had rooms to go hide in. We had no choice but to work it out if there was a conflict of any kind.
