The year was 2015. My parents had planned to take me on a family vacation, I was told pack for “somewhere tropical”. I’m thinking The Bahamas, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, or possibly Mexico. The first thing I did was drive to the mall and buy my so-called cabana clothes which are crushed linen pants, a clean white linen shirt, and of course the style of the era the famous bucket hat. It was officially the day to leave and we are on our way to the airport at 4 in the morning to catch a flight to “somewhere tropical” according to my parents. Anxious to finally be at the gate I am speeding through the airport terminal to get to my gate and see where my plane was taking off to. Come to find out your boys going to Viva La Mexico, the excitement floods my body and I begin to picture me laying on the beach with a sprite in hand or riding jet skis through the pristine waters of the Caribbean. …show more content…

I find myself scanning the pool area of course after i snapchat my entire journey from the gate of the resort to my room and the view. I find out my resort is a very family oriented resort but let me tell you they were not shy of beautiful females in skimpy bathing suits at all. This resort is every bachelor, spring breaker, graduate, or friends dream resort. Everything was all inclusive from the poolside sprite demands to the all you can eat buffets in a beautiful restaurant just a few yards from the

  • Things I Carried-Personal Narrative

    1676 Words  | 4 Pages

    I was carrying my whole life with me, as I walked towards the aircraft. I was carrying two suitcases, filled mainly with clothes and books. I know they were less than 20 kilograms because that was the permissible weight. I could not feel their weight as they were on the trolley. I had a backpack on my shoulders. It contained some eatables, some clothes, a novel, some magazines, a portable CD player, some CDS, a deck of cards, and an inflatable pillow. I was well prepared for my long flight. In my hand I carried as brown leather case containing my passport, visa, and all other personal documents and papers. If I were to lose that case, technically I would cease to exist. Other than that, I had a tennis racket slung over my left shoulder. In short, I was carrying almost all my belongings with me. But that was not all I was taking with me. I was carrying with me memories of 18 years. Things and incidents, long forgotten, resurfaced in my mind, with incredible detail. Every face around me reminded me of uncountable incidents. I was carrying with me a sense of tremendous loss. But, at the same time, I was also carrying with me hope and excitement. A new world called me, and I was looking forward to go there. To protect me in this new place, I had a holy red thread tied on my wrist. That was the explanation my Mom had given me when she was tying it. Though I did not necessarily agree with her, looking at the thread did bring a warm feeling in my heart. It symbolized the love and blessings of my parents which I carried with me, wherever I went.

  • Narrative Essay On California

    793 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the summer of 2015, the summer before my freshman year, my grandmother and I took a trip to the other side of the country. I had never been anywhere west of Tennessee before, so going to California was going to be an exciting experience. My vacation there was like going to a whole other country. The morning of our flight I double checked my bags and made sure I had everything I would need for my trip. Flying into Fresno everything I saw was brown, except for the golf courses. The reason for everything being so brown was because during this time California was in a 5-year drought. Also being in the central valley it’s sandy and desert like. After landing and getting our luggage we stood outside waiting for my uncle to pick us up from the airport. When you think of California you think of perfect weather but stepping outside we were met with 115 degrees of the blazing hot sun. Not exactly what I consider “perfect” weather.

  • 9/11: A Short Story

    775 Words  | 2 Pages

    Now, it almost seems like a cliche to say that I had my own special blanket when I was seven, but I sincerely believed that the blanket I owned was the very center of my universe. It was old, my Grandma had it for years before she gave it to me, and I treasured it. It was a pale sky-blue, a reminiscent of its original royal blue, and had tiny pink flowers scattered throughout it. I had agreed to leave it behind if I got a new one, so I begrudgingly pushed all thoughts about my blanket aside and carried on. The airport experience wasn’t bad, but it was slow. My Aunt had worked in that airport for years, and with every checkpoint we passed we faced more and more of her ex-coworkers, which were… “talkative” to say the least. After

    I had been to Spain before and knew it was the perfect place if you wanted sun, peace and quiet. As soon as I got off the plane I could feel the humidity and smell sweat in the air, even though the airport was air-conditioned. Our rental car wasn’t big enough to fit all three of our suitcases in the boot so we had to put the third, and the biggest, on the backseat of the car making a barrier between me and my younger brother. Sleep came soon as I had no sleep on the journey so far and was rudely awoken at 4:30 in the morning to get to the airport.

I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear
