Some interesting facts in from my travelling travels

I’ll I’d like to tell you some of the more interesting things which had have
happened while I was travelling with my family.
I’ll never forget my first travelling by plane trip. It was my first travelling trip
abroad which I had been spent
with my boyfriend, now my husband. It was a very long journey to the USA. We
hadn’t didn’t have a direct flight, it
was a long-haul flight with one connection in France, Paris. It was very exciting
because it was also
my first visit to Paris. For twenty hours Wwe had the opportunity to visit for
twenty hours some of the famous Paris’s famous
landmarks, especially the Eiffel Tower. We had been walking walked all day
and were very tired but it had been worthed
it. It was very romantic too.
Also, I’ll never forget our travelling trip to Malta with our three-years old
daughter. It was her first
travelling trip by plane. She was very happy and excited. She didn’t have any
problems with the flight.
We had been enjoying our visiting in Malta before until she had started
vomiting after she had eaten an
ice-cream. She hadn’t been stopping stopped vomiting all night, so we had
decided to went go to the hospital. I
hadn’t been sleeping slept all night too either. We had been were very worried
a lot, also, I almost had passed out. On the
next day we must left had to leave for Bulgaria and it wasn’t possible to chance
miss the flight, it would cost extra
money. After few hours looked looking after her, she was fine. We didn’t pay
anything in the hospital
because we had a medical insurance.
 So, I always remind my friend when they want to travel abroad always to
arrange a medical
insurance and take extra money with them for emergency cases.
When you travel always will have opportunity to view new places, to meet
with different people,
to learn new facts and always some interesting will be happen.
