Synopsis

A family road trip is supposed to be a lot of fun... Unless of course, you're the Heffleys. The journey starts off full of promise, then quickly takes several wrong turns. Gas Station bathrooms, a fender-bender, crazed seagulls and a runaway pig - Not Greg Heffley's idea of a good time. But even the worst road trip can turn into an adventure - and this is one the Heffleys Will never forget.

Trivia 

  • This is the second book in the series to not have the word "Jeff Kinney" in the middle, the first being the UK version of Cabin Fever.
  • This is the first book (and so far, the only) where Rowley Jefferson makes a minor appearance, in only one page (page 25, were he was lying in bed and Greg was on the floor). This is also the first book where Rowley is not seen on the title page. This is also the first book where Westmore Middle School has no appearances, except for the bathroom shown in a flashback.
  • In page 150, Greg said that He went to a water park last summer but got rained out. This is what happened in Dog Days.
  • This is one of the few books where we see branded things mentioned on some pages. The other is Cabin Fever.
  • This book is the first which covers only one month, which is June, the least of the series.
  • This is the second book that Fregley makes no appearances. The first was Rodrick Rules.
  • This is the first book where the main antagonist won't appear in the previous books.
  • This is the first time since Rodrick Rules that there are missing months from the previous book, Rodrick Rules misses July and August from the previous book since it starts from September and the original ends at June, May is missed from Hard Luck in this book.
  • This is the second book where blood is shown in the series, the first being Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck.
  • This is the first book since Dog Days that take place during the summer.
  • The scene when the family is helped by two Spanish-speaking men on page 212 is the one of only times in the book series where the whole Heffley family is shown to be happy.
  • In the scene where Greg's mom accidentally turns on the Spanish CD on page 121, the words coming out of the speakers mean to " Please speak more slowly." This could be a reference to the fact that Greg's dad is trying to talk on a phone, but since everything in the car is going wrong, he would be speaking very quickly to try to cover up everything around him.
  • In the Hebrew version, Greg writes to Mark Twain instead of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Errors

  • Some of the pages shows Greg is taller than Rodrick, however Rodrick is shown taller in rest of the pages.
  • Greg is shown shorter than he is in the other books.
