The memory of this trip is lasting.
'Bleibend' (lasting) is especially often used in the phrase 'einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen' (to leave a lasting impression). Other typical combinations are 'ein bleibender Schaden' (lasting damage) or 'ein bleibender Wert' (lasting value).

eternal / ages
'ewig' and 'bleibend' can both express that something does not pass quickly. 'ewig' sounds stronger and can mean that something has no end or is seen as unchanging. It is also often used emotionally or exaggeratively. 'bleibend' fits better when an effect, trace, or memory remains for a long time. For example, you would be more likely to say 'ein bleibender Eindruck' (a lasting impression) than 'ein ewiger Eindruck'. 'ewig' emphasizes the duration itself, while 'bleibend' emphasizes the result that remains.
