Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul Page #2

---

This is perfect!

Player Expo is only...

...two inches away from Meemaw's!

I'm not sure that's how maps work.

All I have to do is make sure our road trip

brings us close to Player Expo,

and then sneak away long enough

to see Mac Digby,

and then come back before

anyone notices I'm gone.

No one gets hurt.

It's a win-win situation.

Is it?

MOM:
Guys! Guys.

This is way too much stuff.

These are definitely essentials.

No, no, no. Manny, no sweetie.

No, we're not bringing that.

Uh, there's no room for people in here.

Maybe we should look into plane tickets.

GREG (NARRATING): This was a disaster.

My whole plan was falling apart.

I have an idea.

If we take all the junk out,

we can use the boat as a trailer.

Then, if we see some water,

Dad, you can show us how to sail and fish.

For, you know, fish.

Now you're talking.

Aye-aye, Captain.

MOM:
Who's ready for

the Great Heffley Road Trip?

Can I get a woot-woot?

GREG:
Woot-woot! Go, Mom.

RODRICK:
Dork.

# Bottle rockets off your roof #

# Riding bikes through red lights #

# We're bulletproof #

Meemaw's, here we come.

I'm texting.

Oh, no. No devices on this trip.

What do you mean?

This is an unplugged road trip.

No phones, no iPads, no Internet.

- What?!

- MOM:
Just family time.

The only connecting we're gonna do

is with each other.

Everyone hand over your devices.

You tricked us!

This is totally not cool.

Kids at school get way more

screen time than I do!

I'm not giving up my phone. Pfft!

Yeah! If he's not givin' up his phone,

I'm not givin' up mine.

If he's not giving up,

I'm not giving mine up.

Who do you think you are, bossing us around?

You want me to read. I'm reading text!

What's the difference?

- You're the worst mom ever!

- Yeah!

MOM:
Mm-hmm.

Without devices,

there's absolutely nothing to do.

Look at the scenery. Read a book.

"Read a book?" It's summer vacation!

- Pfft! Scenery's stupid! Pfft!

- Yeah!

Listen to your mother, boys.

Frank. The ban goes for you, too.

No, no, no, no. I got to check the route.

Uh, no, you don't. We have GPS.

And if that fails, I brought a map.

We'll kick it old school.

# Yeah, I like this right here #

# Bom, ba-dum bum ba-da-da-da-da #

GPS:
Estimated time on road:

47 hours and 1 minute.

# Let's escape #

# I'm free to do what I want #

# And have a good time #

# Now somebody, anybody, everybody #

# 'Cause I'm free... #

- Fast food, fast food.

- You can't do this to me.

You're hungry, I'm happy to provide.

# Everybody sing #

# I'm free, baby, bring the beat, baby #

# Let me show you how I live #

# Let you live baby #

# Let's be free, baby #

# And cruise the world #
