What was your favorite vacation or road trip?
My favorite vacation was when I went to California. Not only was this the first time I had been, this was also the first time I had ever flew on a plane. On October 11, 2008; my mother, brother, sister and I headed to the airport for our trip. I was excited but at the same time I was nervous, being on a plane for five hours did not sound too good. After boarding the plane the nerves went away and the excitement about California came back.
Five hours later we landed at LAX airport. The look, smell, even the people were all different. We caught the shuttle to our five star hotel, on the Avenue of the Stars. I had never been to a hotel so extravagant. Our room looked over all of Hollywood. First night we didn’t do much but got settled in. Morning we got dressed and went out. The mall was a few blocks down so we did a little shopping. After shopping us did some site seeing. Come to find out we weren’t too far from Beverly Hills. It was like I was in another world. Rodeo Drive was even better in person. We went from shop to shop, Versace store, to the Gucci store, it was unbelievable. Every car you saw was either a BMW or a Roll Royce. After a long day of site seeing we decided we would save the best for our last day, Hollywood.
The next day my family and I caught the trolley to Hollywood Blvd, we took pictures of the walk of fame, visited shops, and went to the Kodak Theater. To our surprise the Chinese theater was holding a movie premiere of Max Payne. We were able to see the actors walk the red carpet. It was amazing! We waited till the movie was over and took some pictures with the celebrities. We stayed out as long as we could for our last night in California.
At last we headed back to the hotel, got some sleep and woke up early to catch our flight. As we headed out to leave they were shooting an episode of Eli Stone In the lobby. We got to the airport, caught our flight and on the plane I reminisced on the good time my family and I had in California.
