My First Cruise

Next was after prom this was fun for a few hours but then we all just annoyed we had to stay till five in the morning. After prom has so many fun things to do and the best food. Turpin always has the big snake that everyone takes pictures with. I personally hate snakes so my snake pictures are a site to see. Me and Colin snuck out early because we wanted to leave. When we left we were both so tired, he drove me home kiss me goodnight and I realize prom was one of the best nights of my life I'm so happy I didn't listen to other people's opinions because of this night would've never

Beth was an interesting woman to say the least. She was very talkative and had an eccentric personality. She might have been a smidge under the influence on this very normal afternoon but she was still a nice and fun person to talk to. Ashley and Kevin and I got to know her and all about her family all too well sitting at the bar at TGI Friday’s.

After breakfast I went to my cabin with Z and we got changed into our swimming suits and we went to the swimming pool. It kinda sucked. It was a salt water pool, so when the waves rocked the boat the salt water rolled toward me in a wave and I had the taste of saltwater in my mouth.

We got up in the morning and left for the airport. We had become professionals at packing and unpacking, exiting and entering hotels, jumping in cabs, trains, and planes. I felt like a world-class traveler.

Anyways, so we checked in and got our room and our super cool disney cups and were all set. It was night time by the time we got there that day so we didn’t really get to do much that day. So the next day we all got up and got ready for Hollywood Studios- which is the part where all the disney movies are turned into games and rides. That day was super fun, most likely because growing up I didn’t really watch anything besides disney movies or shows. So as the day went on I started getting sleepy but I was pushing through the sleepiness because I mean come on, I was at Disney World! This place was awesome!

Days later, i made my decision to fly. It was risky for me but I wanted to get there as fast as possible. I was packing my bags day after day, night after night. When everything was done and over with, I got the rest of my things and said goodbye, I’ll

When we got to the campsite we filled the tank up with water. When the tank was full we hurried to get everything back into the RV. Once we got to the site I stuffed the hose back into the place it goes into and closed and went back into the RV. When I came back out side I helped dad put up the tent and during that I got a bloody noise so I had to go into the RV. After an about an hour we finally got the tent up and then me and dad took the bikes down from the bike rack. After taking the bikes off the back I took my rip stick around the loop, which took awhile. After riding my rip stick we took a walk on the beach and played in the water a little after playing in the water we rinsed off and then took a shower. And came back and ate dinner. Then we made delicious s'mores and then ate them. After we finished making s'mores we got ready for bed and

The ship let us have one more breakfast and then we had to get off the ship which I thought was kind of sad because the whole trip went by really fast because I had so much fun. The last thing i ate on the ship was eggs, bacon and pancakes and then we had to get off so we went to get our stuff and then we left. The next thing that happened was we were taken to the plane and we got on and it was very dark outside and I think it was 8:00 or 8:30 when we sat down on the plane and we were all very tired so I told my mom and stepdad “I am going to sleep” and they did too. I woke up after a long nap which the plane landed and it was time to get off and we then went to our cars and we got in and went home. When we got home we had to unpack all of the items that we took on the trip. After all of that we were happy we got home and we finally got to relax. ‘The trip was the funnest moment in my life” is what I told my mom because it really was the funnest moment in my life so far. “I hope i go on another cruise someday” is the first thing I thought when I got home and if I go on another one then I hope it will be as fun and exciting as this

After snorkeling we went back to the hotel and finished the night off in a warm Jacuzzi reminiscing about all the adventures we had on this trip. I think my favorite experience was snorkeling but soon the snorkeling gear began to chafe at my skin which will make an uncomfortable plane ride home. I can't believe we have to be up at 9:00 in the morning to catch our plane home. I had such an amazing time visiting The National Park of American Samoa and I will never forget the great experience I had

The next morning we drove around the city and looking at tourist attractions, which we saw some pretty amazing things. We went to the marine park, which was pretty exciting. Later that day we ate at this seafood place, which was really good, the environment

I quickly changed into comfortable clothes and woke my brother up (which probably took five minutes) and ate breakfast. I hopped into our rental car, which was presumably small. Three layers of soft, feathered blankets over me, and probably holding onto five different head pillows. “I can’t believe we get to go to South Padre Island for three days!” I yelled to my family. It takes about eight hours to arrive at our hotel, so I definitely got carsick. The good news was that we got to eat fast food! Andrew and I got to sleep a lot while the parents got to drive. We arrived after 7 pm to our hotel. Then, we grabbed our heavy, bulky, luggage and brought them to our room to the 2nd floor. After we unpacked, we were exhausted and all but we still had the stamina to go down to the beach and take a view on the glazing ocean water. It looked very delicate like a clear foil was laid on top of the water. I doused my feet in the cool, numb water. While digging my hands deep in the soft, cushy, sand, I could feel all the grains go

It was April 3, 2015. While the wind danced around picking few leaves here and there along with itself, my spirit on the other hand, marked with unease and nervousness stood in stark contrast. It was time to board the airplane for United States of America; it was time to leave India, my birthplace as well as my home for 14 years. With hopes of achieving the American Dream, my family and I would board the airplane, oblivious to the opportunities as well as hardships and sacrifices which would follow. Although the journey might seem as a physical one - of around 15 hours, it was a moral journey of understanding new cultures, new ideas, new struggles.Nevertheless, it was a journey to understand the true beauty of the world.

I remember grabbing all my T-shirts, jeans, shorts and most importantly grabbing my uniform, dress. trombone and making sure those items were with me at all times. Then I continued to pack and got my last remaining items, wallet, keys attached to my lanyard and my iPad for the long plane ride. Finally I was ready to go and I did all that in under 2 hours. The clock now read 6:55, I took my luggage and instrument to the car and loaded them up, then came in through the front door and I heard the sizzling and crackling, the smell of hickory smoked bacon embellishing itself all around the house. My mom was making bacon and eggs, I saw the leftover peels from the oranges and I could see my mom had even made fresh squeezed orange juice, breakfast was the best part of waking up and finally we heard my mom

We came and checked in and we got our rooms. We were very hungry so we went to a fancy restaurant. Our experience there was very amazing. We went to our hotel room and changed into our bathing suits. Into the ocean we went. It was a little bit of a walk, but it was worth it. We swam the whole day and eventually it got to nighttime. Then we moved on to our nightly

Like it was yesterday I remember my first vacation on a cruise. My Dad and I went on a three- day long cruise to The Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise, so it was a new experience for me. We needed to be in Tampa for our departure, so we drove the two hours from Orlando, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My Dad and I used this time to talk, make plans for the trip and think about our upcoming adventures on the cruise.
