A MEMORABLE JOURNEY
It was going to be the journey of a lifetime and Sandy woke up early, too excited to sleep any
longer! We were highly anticipating this trip, but something unexpected happened that
changed our lives.
After Sandy and I sat down at the seats from the plane, we started preparing ourselves for the
flight to begin, but unfortunately, there was a long delay and we had to wait for two hours.
There were a lot of people but someone caught our attention, that young woman. However,
we didn't pay much attention.
We arrived in New York shortly after, it was beyond beautiful. One day, while we were at times
square, we saw a woman who was familiar to us. Then it clicked! It was the woman from the
plane. We decided to approach her, and we couldn't believe it, it was Anne Haberly!
Consequently, we took a few photos with her and talked for a while.
To this day we still cannot believe that we met one of our favourite actresses. We will never
forget this amazing trip.
