Things that happened during the flight with my mother:

1) we ended up without a VFR chart for the majority of the area we were flying over
2) my boyfriend and I descended into major arguments about basic planning (mainly based on heat and nerves rather than actual issues)
3) my mother corrected an Italian Air Traffic Controller when he told me what time it was
4) Austrian ATC gave me a five minute lecture on the radio with every other pilot flying over the Alps sniggering quietly and feeling relieved that it wasn’t them.
5) The auto-pilot died completely

Other than that, it went really well. Honest.
