My First Cruise
Have you ever wanted to travel the world? What made you want to travel? I went on a cruise in June of 2011. I’d say it was the best time of my life. I got to swim in the ocean, Meat people from other cultures, and discovered parts of the world I’ve never seen. The name of the cruise ship was Destiny. Maybe it’s my destiny to travel the world. It all started one early morning in June. I was awake and was so anxious I hadn’t slept all night. I was ready for my first out of country experience. I had my suitcases packed and in the truck before anyone else. Once everybody’s things were packed we all ate breakfast.
“Everything packed and everybody use the restroom?” Mom asked.
Of course everyone was ready to go besides my little brother Clayton. He’s 11 and a pain. While my mom was helping Clayton get all of his things together. My sisters Shelbie and Samantha were talking about seating arrangements in the car. I was in my room getting a last minute playlist ready on my mp3 player.
“Aaron! It’s time to go!” My stepdad yells to me.
Going out to the car I pop my ear buds in and drown out my brother and sisters arguing about who is sitting where. I get in the back seat behind my mom, where there’s more leg room. On the way to Florida we drove through many states, such as Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Georgia. Driving through these states I had seen a ton of mountains, plains, and even big cities. I knew immediately when we were close to Florida due to the smell of the ocean.
As we arrived at the port where the cruise ships were docked, my adrenaline shot through the roof. I just wanted to shout at the top of my lounges. By the looks on all of our faces you could tell we were extremely excited. Walking to the port we met up with my grandma, her husband and his son. Before we could get on the cruise we had to get out cruise cards and a family picture had to be taken.
