Frank, Us too. Yes, slapstick. Yes, stereotypes, but fun!

Loved the whole sequence when they were visiting family in Germany and got the wrong address. The old couple was too polite to tell them they were in the wrong place and the Griswalds still thought they had visited family when they left the next day…
The British guy they kept running into, the French waiter who openly insulted them to their faces…lots of generalizations of different cultures but it was a silly movie and lots of fun. But I loved how Clark was so excited and also so oblivious to everything. One of those “best of travel movies” in my opinion.

We tell him that he’s named after the Griswold family patriarch. (He isn’t.) And yes, that quote came up many times when we were standing in front of Big Ben & Parliament this summer. The funny thing is that my mom and I had the same running gag more than 25 years ago when I was a teen visiting London with my own parents.

Carmen, We try to travel without relying on GPS, like we used to, but it’s so easy!

How did we ever live without it?! ;) Great post, thanks for sharing!

Clare, I think that’s how we find them usually as well, although I have to admit I’m totally going to check out some GoT spots in Northern Ireland this summer.
