Personal Narrative: My Trip To San Diego

Improved Essays
Part of me was disappointed with the end of the summer production, but at the same time I couldn't help but be ecstatic to be done with it. I had my fun and I'll probably miss it, but I just want to go home. Not home with my family, but in San Diego. It's been months and I definitely think it's time to come back.

I'm so anxious to see Vic's reaction when I show up at his office. He doesn't know I was released today. He thinks I'm being released tomorrow and that he'll pick me up from the airport. Of course, I just told him that to surprise him.

Once traffic started moving forward, I couldn't help but let out an exasperated breath. I was on the edge of my seat for the rest of the ride, and when I saw that familiar building come up, my smile shined

    The flight to Panama was long and bumping as I flew aboard a C-141, this aircraft is no longer in service. As I departed the aircraft, I was met by oppressive heat and humidity. As I looked around my new surroundings, I could not help but think that it looked as if someone had laid a giant green carpet over the landscape. It was definitely the most beautiful country that I had seen and, in my opinion it still is. The tarmac was busy with all kinds of activity going on.…
