When I was seven years old I went on my very first holiday abroad, to

America.

I can remember waking up at Five o'clock in the morning to catch an

early flight from Heathrow airport. I was so excited I forgot about

the daunting effort of getting up so early. My Mum, Dad, Brother,

grandparents and I set off on the long journey to the airport, then

Orlando Florida. I remember the white taxi van used to transport us to

the airport with its incredibly tiny seats, which made getting any

sleep impossible. Sitting next to my brother, who was in a very

irritable and annoying mood, made this slightly harder.

There had been a major accident on the motorway that held me in

suspense not knowing whether we would get there in time to catch the

flight. When we finally arrived at the airport my brother was ordered

to go and find a luggage trolley, which I remember he was very

unenthusiastic about doing.

The only part of checking in I can remember is when my Gran couldn't

understand a word the Pakistani steward said only made worse by my

Gran's hearing impediment.

The eleven-hour flight over to America was one of the most exciting

parts of the holiday for me. Trying to work out how to put the seat

belt into the little lock contraption puzzled me for a while. Even

though it was so long ago the thought of playing games on the plane

with the onboard games console still excites me today. After about

five hours of exploring the onboard entertainment, it all got a little

boring. So I turned to looking out the window and asking my granddad

what was below us for entertainment. I remember asking my gran...

... middle of paper ...

...hird day my mum insisted that we visit sea world that you can

see back in the U.K. but we went anyway and saw a huge whale in a

really small tank. But we were assured 'he loves it here'. I was not

convinced.

The rest of the holiday we spent in Miami. When we arrived in Miami

the first place we went to was Palm Beach, which was slightly better

than the littered beaches at home. The sand was bright yellow and the

water was really blue. Miami, despite its much-hyped reputation is a

very strange place.

Before I knew it, the holiday was over and we were travelling back to

Britain. The eleven-hour journey flew past. When we arrived back in

Britain, I didn't know what day it was. So we all slept continuously

for three days.

The holiday was the best holiday abroad I have ever had and would

really like to go back again.

But I knew the flight would get boring and I would be seated next to a loud little
boy who doesn't stop crying. So I took my laptop filled with movies and my
phone filled with games, hoping to be entertained for the upcoming 18 hour
flight. My father drove me to the JFK airport. We lived about 30 minutes away
but it was Saturday and the traffic was horrible. I was determined to have fun in
New Zealand especially because it was summer over there and winter over
here.

This is the day I thought, just after waking up from only a few hours of sleep. I
had stayed up until 2am with my friends the night/morning before, even though
my plane left at 5:10am. I was nervous and even though I had already packed,
overpacked, my suitcase I was still running around grabbing last minute items;
that shirt I forgot to grab, one more perfume, my electric toothbrush. I didn’t
know how long I was going to be gone, so I couldn’t seem to get enough stuff.
My bags were so stuffed that I actually had to tie my vans to my purse, which
was well over packed, and I couldn’t add anything to my suitcase because it
already weighted 46 pounds and the weight limit is 50 pounds.

Top 10 Caribbean Beaches

Scenically, the tiny coral island doesn't have much going for it, lacking the lush
vegetation of other Caribbean islands. But if you're seeking just superb beaches
and a brilliant blue sea -- as well as fashionable resort hotels, villas and
restaurants -- Shoal Bay is the best of beaches. Stretching for two beautiful
miles, the sand is so sumptuous that you sink in up to your ankles. Shoal Bay is
also where vacationers flee when they're escaping St. Maarten, the frenetic
half-Dutch, half-French island next door. From there, you can hop a ferry over
and spend the day, lounging in a hammock under palm trees.

The color of the water when it actually met the sand was something that I can’t
even describe. I would say that the closest thing you could describe it to would
be translucent sea foam green. I remember how the waves curled up at their
peak and then crashed down into the sand. The noise that the waves made as
they crashed into the surrounding water can only be likened to the deep
booming of a bass drum. The temperature of the water as it swirled around my
ankles was not too cold and not too hot.

The reason we wanted to go on road trip was because on a airplane, all you do
is sit on a chair for hours, that seemed too tedious. Also, sitting on a plane is not
enjoyable or interactive. My family and I wanted to have a family road trip

Mr. Churchill had already arrived in Malta, not a surprise, along with Eden and
