My Hawaii Vacation

Improved Essays
Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to travel to Hawaii for a relaxing vacation with my family. Finally, we planned to go to Hawaii right at the beginning of summer. I don’t know anyone who would decline the offer to go to Hawaii. Knowing that this would be a vacation that I might never experience again, I knew I had to make the best of anything that happened. What could possibly go wrong? Whenever I picture Hawaii, I just think of the beach, the pink and orange sunsets, and having absolutely nothing to worry about. That sounded like the perfect way for my summer to start. When we first left from the airport in Cincinnati, we went to Houston, Texas. That plane ride went well, but then we went from Texas to Los Angeles. From …show more content…
However, we had to sit on the plane for an additional 30 minutes because there was no empty spot for our plane to go. I knew we had to make the flight from California to Hawaii, because it was the last one of the night. When we were finally able to get off of the airplane, everyone was pushing and shoving to get off the plane. My brother was first off, and the rest of us followed shortly after. When we got inside the airport, we did not see my brother anywhere. All I saw was people everywhere. We knew that he was not that far in front of us, so he couldn’t have gone too far. There was no time to waste at this point, so we decided to just run to the gate to see if my brother was there and if they would let us on the flight. While we were running there, my mom was asking security guards and workers if they had seen my brother and if we could still get on the plane to Hawaii. They just told us to get to the gates as soon as possible. I was panicking by now, but we finally got there and saw my brother talking to the flight attendant. The flight attendant had a black eye on his right eye, and he just told us that there was no way that we could get on the plane, even though it hadn’t left yet. We needed to come up with some kind of plan to distract him. He already had a black eye, so I pulled a hat out of my luggage and pulled it over his eyes. I tied a belt around the hat, so he couldn’t get it off easily. We ran as fast as we could to get on the plane. We ended up getting on the plane, and I was very relieved. All I wanted to do was leave California and get to Hawaii, but then I remembered we had five more hours on the plane, the time would be changing again, and because the time was different, I was

    When my family was leaving for America, everyone was really sad. I understood that they were saddened because we were leaving, but I wasn’t. I was excited that we were about to go to the airport and actually go on an airplane. I knew that it was going to be a long time before I see my aunts, uncles, and cousins again, but I didn’t want my memory of my first flight to be filled me wiping tears from my eyes and worrying that I can’t find tissues for my running nose. I was instead very excited that we were about to go halfway around the world inside a big hunk of metal shaped like a bird.…

    The ride home from the mall with my Great Uncle Stan and all my brothers and sisters was agonizing. My younger brother Quinton would not stop crying that we had gone the wrong way back home. On the other hand, Donnajo was attempting to sit in Uncle Stan’s lap while he was in the middle of driving, which more than likely caused the events that happened later on that night. Now even though it sounds really inappropriate for their age, all three of my recently nine-year-old siblings were in the front seat. We were in what used to be Stan’s truck, meaning there were only three seats in the front.…

    My trip would begin with my husband coming home, bursting into my room like someone’s behind him with a chainsaw, waving plane tickets and yelling “Honey grab your things because we’re going to Hawaii”. Before he could say when we were going I’d already made mental notes of who would watch the kids and our family dog King. I didn’t need much time to figure out what to wear or if I needed to pack light or heavy. My mind racing, with ideas of how much fun this is going to be, I jumped up off of the bed and begin packing my luggage as well as the kids’.…
