Exhaustion, claustrophobia, and stress. Is one sure way to bring on a panic attack...

It was good that he managed to get a berth on the train. Having to travel without being able to bathe would be irritating. On the other hand, if he ran into the family with all the children, it just might have kept them away. What more can go wrong on the trip?

This chapter is my favorite!!! Good writing! Detailed, emotional, vivid, humorous, moving. Justin's character shows through and through. The minor characters are very well captured, too. I just love that loud, abnoxious polyglot! But only to read about her, not to ride on the same train with her :) No, scratch that! On second thought, I'd LOVE to come along with Justin on this trip. Would be soooo much fun!
Despite the very last sentence (...he couldn't have been more wrong...), I still believe (WANT to believe) that Justin will eventually make it to the dinner (even if it's already cooked).

Ack, this trip is wearing me out just reading about it! ;p Those kicking, out of control kiddies are the worse. Had one behind me on a plane once, kicking my seat, the little dear. I can see why Justin opted to move on the ferry. At least he got a bed and shower on the night train.
"Unfortunately, he couldn't have been more wrong..." Uh oh
Author's Response: Thanks for the comment, Armandyouidiot! Yes, travel with and among children - it's never dull! :)
Cheers,
Vin

unfortunately, travel in europe is very much like that, especially on their trains. poor justin--but he's cope and be fine. his ultimate goal ever on his mind. so good :)
Author's Response: I lived in Europe as an exchange student in college and I've taken enough train, ferry and plain trips around the EU to have experienced just about everything - the screaming babies, the kicking toddlers, the arguing teens AND the loud cell-phone talking, multilingual businesswomen. All of those elements were pretty much taken from various trips in my RL.
Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
Vin
