Personal Narrative: My Trip To The San Diego Zoo

Decent Essays
It was June 30, 2016 when my mom and I went to the San Diego zoo, and Disneyland. This was very exciting for my mom and I seeing as this was the first time either of us had been to the San Diego zoo, and it having been 9 years (when I was 6) Disneyland, only the last time we Had gone to Disneyland it was with my dad and two older brothers, where this time it was just my mom and I. On the day we arrived and the day after that we went to Disneyland, and the day after that we went to Disney’s California Adventure, and lucky for us on all three of those days we had nice weather. However, the following day we went to the San Diego Zoo, where even though there was nice weather, things didn't go as planned. We took a bus that would be taking us there, …show more content…
As it turned out the bus left at 5:15 p.m., and it was 5:30 p.m. when we left the zoo. Which meant the bus (that said they wouldn’t leave without us), had left without us. So my mom asked the person on the other line of the phone how do we get back, and she said we would need to take a taxi, the Amtrak, then another taxi to get back. So we ended up waiting another 15 minutes for a taxi that could take us to the train station. However, once we arrived to the train station, it would be another 30 minutes for the next train to arrive, but my mom and I were just glad we could get back to where we were staying. It was around 6:30 when we boarded the train, and it would be another 2 hours until we would reach Anaheim, but that was to be expected. Once we arrived at the bus stop we had to go to we went to the front of the building, where there happened to be a taxi that we could take to Downtown Disney, so we could get any last minute souvenirs, and then be able to take an ART bus back to the hotel we were staying at. After all of that, my mom and I are just glad we got home safely, and didn’t get stuck in San Diego, while learning to make sure you know the correct

    Two thousand five hundred eighty-seven. I could take an eight-hour flight or a casual thirty-seven-hour drive, but no matter what, I am still two thousand five hundred eighty-seven miles away from my home in New Haven, Connecticut. Being a college freshman, trying to juggle class, homework, projects, studying, sleeping, eating, and athletics; finding the travel time to go home is an almost impossible task. Add in the cost of the $600 flights round trip and there is no chance a student can go visit home when they feel a little homesick. I on the other hand had never even fathomed being homesick from the frozen tundra I called home.…

    Throughout my life I have experienced many events have laid down the foundation for the future I am building. One of the most influential and eye-opening was a trip I took to Yosemite National Park during my junior year of high school.

The goal of the trip was to educate students on the importance of the national park, learn about its ecology, explore its natural wonders, and to interact with and meet other students.…
