Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie: Subverted; Daniel (who wasn't planning on dying) had no plans for his ashes, and it's Tom who takes it upon himself to complete the journey for him, against the advice of others.

Bait-and-Switch: Joost says pot is "nothing by Dutch standards". He then offers Tom an alternative to make him sleep - in the form of Ambien or ear plugs.

Big Fun: Deconstructed. Joost is the friendliest and most party-oriented member of the group and insists that eating local cuisine is part of the journey. However, he's doing the journey to lose weight in order to fit into his old tux, and he mentions that his wife won't sleep with him anymore because he's gotten too fat.
