I've been hearing the phrase "it's all part of the adventure" ever since I was a kid. It was my parent's response to everything from missing the last bus to realising that the tent poles had been left at home for a weekend camping trip. Now my family is on a new trip; four and a half months backpacking across South America, on which I'm sure there will be plenty of misshaps. Even these, however, will be all part of the adventure.
