Hi! I’m Erin. When I first asked my dad if he and I could go on a drive to get to Alaska, he said that he didn’t think that he was man enough. That was pretty much me planting the mental seed in my dad’s mind.
Three, maybe four weeks later, my dad was on a trip and he sent me an e-mail asking if I would like to go across the county with him. I immediately responded “YES! YES! YES!”. My little sister, Jillian, wanted to go too (and still wants to), but my dad and I both didn’t think that she could stand the whole trip, due to the fact that the first time we started talking about it, we were on our 2-day trip back from our spring break in Florida and Jillian was complaining within the first 5 hours! When we got back to Kentucky, my dad immediately started working on my passport because we have to pass thru Canada on our trip. My dad already has a passport because his job is to fly airplanes around the world. When he finished the main parts of my passport, he took my mom and me to the prospect post office because that was the closest post office that took it in.
There, I had to swear that what was on the paper was correct. After that, my mom and dad both had to sign the same passport paper and I later found out that is because, if my parents were divorced, let’s say, and my dad wanted to sneak me out of the country, it would be… failure!
