My Best Vacation Ever
It was the summer of 1995 and my best friend Kimberly and I wanted to go on vacation. We thought long and hard about where we wanted to go and finally decided to fly to Florida. Kimberly and I started our planning by searching for hotel rooms in the West Palm Beach area and getting trip tickets from A.A.A. (Automobile Association of America). We found some really good deals from our entertainment book, so we started to reserve hotel rooms for West Palm Beach, Florida. Once we arrived we decided to rent a car and drive down the coast to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
In August Kimberly and I boarded a plane for Florida. We had a layover in Detroit, Michigan, which I thought was very interesting. We were heading north to go south! I enjoyed flying so I didn't mind. I sat in the window seat so I could watch the beautiful clouds go speeding by as if they were flying saucers. I also enjoyed the many sites you could see on the ground, entire fields looked like little puzzles from way up in the airplane. Our flight took about three hours.
Once we arrived in West Palm Beach, we rented a car and started the great search for our hotel. It took us about an hour to find the hotel, which was only ten minutes from the airport. We saw some beautiful neighborhoods including the Kennedy mansion. What a gorgeous, huge home. I can still picture it today. It was a three-story brick home with white posts in the front, surrounded by a security gate.
The hotel was right around the corner from the circle we had been driving around the whole time. We laughed so hard when we finally realized just how close we were to our destination.
Upon checking into our hotel we were served champagne. We began to wonder if they thought we were famous. This was my first taste of champagne; it tasted like beer but with a very sweet, bubbly taste to it, the fizz in the drink made my nose tingle.
We loved our hotel room; it was large enough for us to live in! There were two huge
