Have you ever had a trip that made you remember forever? Personally, yes, it was
the most stressful trip. When I was in secondary school, I took part in a camping
trip with my classmates in summer vacation. My best friend and I prepared a lot of
food, clothes and other items for the camping trip and we decided to stay at my
house to make it easier for the car to pick up. According to the expected plan, the
car will come to pick us up in front of the house at 2 a.m to move to Thai Nguyen
province. But you know, when the car carrying everyone was standing in front of
my gate, we were still hugging each other and sleeping. Huh, what a shame!
We were woken up soon after and hurriedly packed up to move. A few things had
been left behind and our plans were foiled. All this for one reason, that we hang up
with other until well past 00 a.m.
Despite this incident, we were able to get in the car and move to the meeting point
with everyone. That trip was also very fun and brought back many interesting
memories for us. But every time we think back, we are embarrassed and say: What
a shame experience!
