Paranoid that one of us would disappear at the airport, my mother kept a close eye on us, for us kids though, it’s a blast being in a new place, seeing different sights and hearing different accents. This the first time my parents had taken all five of us kids overseas.
My aunt and uncle, who had been planning this trip for weeks, met us at the airport, thereafter we headed to Long Island. An hour and a half later we arrived at Paul and Shauna.
