I'm so excited for summer vacation! My family and I always fly to California every
June to visit my grandmother. My dad makes the reservation online with the airline,
and he also checks the weather forecast to see what kind of clothes we should bring.
My mom sometimes helps me pack my suitcase with clothes, a hairbrush, toothbrush, and swimming suit for
the trip. I also pack a carry-on with my wallet, a jacket, and a book to read during the flight. This year I will
also bring my school picture to give as a present to my grandmother.
I don't like going through the airport before our flight; the terminal is so crowded and the line at the
check-in counter can be so long. Then after we check our luggage we have to stand in line again to go through
security! I really don't like to empty my pockets, take off my shoes, and put everything in a tray to be checked.
However, after that things aren't so bad. We ride the escalator to go to our gate, and sit in the departure lounge
until our flight is ready for boarding. Usually my mom will give my brother and I some money to buy ice
cream at one of the terminal restaurants while we are waiting. We never fight about who gets the window seat
because my mom makes us take turns; I get to sit there going to California, and my brother gets it when we go
home.
My grandmother will come to the airport to meet us, and go with us to get our luggage from the
baggage claim. I'm glad we don't have to go through customs because I'm always happy to leave the airport as
soon as possible! We will spend the next two weeks playing at the beach, shopping, and visiting attractions. I
love our summer vacation!
