My trip to the US

My most recent trip happened during December 22^nd-January 7^th.

During that long period of time, my family and I had spent our

whole Christmas break in the US. After ten years, we finally

came back. I was very ecstatic and eager to see how much

the country has changed. After a long and tiring 17 hour flight,

we finally got to Los Angeles. Just being at the LAX amazed me.

While waiting for my cousin to pick us up at the airport, I was

also excited to rekindle with my cousin who I haven’t seen in

ten years.

Driving through the country was beautiful. Every twist and turn

was a brand new adventure. We stayed at a duration

of five days, and we even spent Christmas there! We went to

 different places, including Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Christmas Eve

was when we all gathered for a small feast as a family. But on

Christmas day, we had gone to the Universal Studios and

 spent the day there. Sadly, on the 26^th, we had to leave for

New Jersey. This was a very emotional day since we had to

leave all our relatives that we haven’t seen in a long time. Also,

LA was just breath-taking, and as crazy as it may seem, I have fallen

in love with the city. The city was a masterpiece itself.

But we had to leave, we had no choice.

All the fun times in Los Angeles will forever be treasured in

my heart. Just being here made me feel as if all my dreams

have just come true.

Flying all the way from LA to New Jersey wasn’t a very long flight.

In New Jersey, we would meet my dad’s former boss and my dad’s

college friends. We stayed at my dad’s former boss’s house. It was

different experience living in a Scottish family’s house. They had

different ways of living and rules, so I had to adjust. But also, it

was a good experience. It was freezing during the whole trip; but

one night, it had even snowed!

On our last day of the New Jersey trip,

we had gone to New York along with my dad’s friend. It was even

colder than New Jersey, so we were just shivering the whole time.

It was quite busy, considering the fact that it was the 30^th, which

meant that it was a day before New Year’s Eve, and New York

is famous for their ball drop. Despite all the commotion, I was

able to accomplish two things that I’d always wanted to. Which is:

To eat an authentic New York hotdog and pretzel, and to see the

famous sites, which include: the Empire State building, Central

Park, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

New York was a beautiful city. Quite busy, yet its elegance

never fades. New York is definitely where dreams are made of.

But in comparison, I’d prefer LA. They would’ve been on equal

ranks, if only I wasn’t freezing in New York!

Yet again, we had to leave. We had to bid good-bye. Soon, we

were off to Florida. And in Florida, we would be staying at

the Port Orleans Riverside Resort in Walt Disney World. I was

indeed very stoked for this, mainly because it was Disney World.

Who wouldn’t be excited for Disney World? We had five days

left, and so we decided that we go to one theme park a day.

We went to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood

Studios, and Downtown Disney, and each theme park brought

 us to a whole new world. We celebrated New Year’s Eve and

 New Year’s Day in Florida. We enjoyed watching the

fireworks display that had occurred. We had even tried

one of Disney World’s famous enormous turkey legs!

Time flew by so fast and before we knew it, it was January 5^th.

This means that we would be going back to the Philippines.

Watching the plane take off was very sad. Although we would

be coming home, I still felt a hint of disappointment. I loved

the country, but most of all, I loved the memories we had.

But now we were home, and all the experiences we had would

be memories, and it would remain as memories.

the pictures will follow okay ;)
