How long did it take you to drive all the way there?

其实，我只是在候机的时候打发时间。

Actually, I was just killing time while waiting for my flight.

我得充分利用在这里的短暂时间。

I need to make the most of the short time I have here.

尽管这次假期旅行很折腾，但能看到孩子们脸上的笑容，一切都值了。

Despite all the drama surrounding the holiday travel, it was ultimately worth it just to see the smiles on the kids' faces.
