Hi Axel,

I would like to express my deep regret for not keeping in touch for several days.
I've been checking to get my passport. You won’t believe this I’ve won a trip to a
tropical island! This travel is going to be amazing, and it will be all paid, as well!
When I get to the airport, I’m going to stay in a 5-star hotel.
The travel agency advertised to me that the trip to the island will take more than 5
hours. So, I downloaded some movies and many songs to not get bored during the
trip. The idea of traveling doesn't seem so bad to me anymore…
Now, the aim of this travel, apart from getting relaxed, I’ll look around the island
and be able to make friends. And what’s really exciting is that besides having a trip
for free, the travel agency gives me some tickets for a free meal in the hotel but only
in the mornings.
In addition to get all my clothes into my luggage; I also equipped my sun lotion, so I
don't want my skin burned when I go to the beach.
I’ll spend some money on fridge magnets, besides I will buy some shirts for my
brother. If you want something from here, just let me know by a text message.
But something that turns me around is that another person won the travel as well as
me, but she refused it because she said that everything is going to be a farce. I don’t
if she is telling the truth, but I just want to get relaxed during my dream vacation.

Cheers!

Haider R. 
