An infinite trip Last year I did one of my longest trip by car. It is a 7-hour journey if you are lucky, 8-hour journey on average. I did it to go to holiday with my girlfriend so we were in the right mood to tackle such a thing. The real problem was the way back. After seven days of total relax the thought of driving for so long had already brought me down but the worst had yet to come. The first four hours went through quite easily but at 3 o'clock P.M. we got stuck. There was a very long queue right ahead. The sun was so hot you could have taken suntan on the road. It took us nearly one hour to pass it by and to discover it was due to works on the road. Fortunately from there we didn't have other problems. There was only another important event: we saw an incredibly big fire. It had never happened to me to see such a big blaze. It was summer so it was normal to meet little fire but I had never seen before something like that.

An infinite trip

Last year I did made one of my longest trips by car. It is a 7-hour journey if you are lucky and an 8-hour journey on average. I did it to go to spend the holiday with my girlfriend so we were in the right mood to tackle such a thing. The real problem was on the way back. After seven days of total relaxation the thought of driving for so long had already brought me down but the worst had yet to come. The first four hours went through passed by quite easily but at 3 o'clock in the afternoon P.M. we got stuck. There was a very long queue right ahead. The sun was so hot you could have taken put suntan lotion on the road. It took us nearly one hour to pass it by and to discover it was due to works on the roadwork. Fortunately from there we didn't have other problems. There was only one another important event. We saw an incredibly big fire. It had never happened to me to seen such a big blaze.

An infinite trip

Last year, I did took one of my longest trips by car. It is was a seven-hour (<--Typically, numbers under twelve are written as words.) journey if you are one is (<--Try to avoid writing in the generic/impersonal "you.") lucky, an eight-hour journey on average. I did it to go to on holiday with my girlfriend, so we were in the right mood to tackle such a thing. The real problem was the way back. After seven days of total relaxation, the thought of driving for so long had already brought me down, but the worst had yet to come. The first four hours went through by quite easily but at 3 o'clock P.M., we got stuck. There was a very long queue right ahead of us. The sun was so hot you that we could have taken suntan become tanned on the road. It took us nearly one hour to pass it by and to discover that it was due to works construction on the road. Fortunately, from there, we didn't have any other problems. There was only another one other important event: we saw an incredibly big large (<--"Big" sounds more childish than "large.") fire. It I had never happened to me to seen such a big huge blaze. It was summer, so it was normal to meet little encounter small fires, but I had never seen before something like that before.
