Journal #4

This summer my family took a vacation to Mexico.  The trip was about 12 days long, so I consider it a long trip.  I think its funny how you are always looking forward to when you vacation is going to start from like weeks and weeks in advance, but when you are about to get home after the whole thing... you just want to be home! I really do not like to fly and in the particular case of this vacation, we had to fly. We had a a flight scheduled for 7 o' clock am, so we stayed the night in St. Louis the night before.  It was really exciting the next day when we were at the airport because I knew the fun was about to begin.  I also realized that I was about to hear 95% of the important information in spanish for the next 12 days. For some reason I found that exciting! The airplane was a larger airplane because it was a non stop flight. I think that having a larger airplane was a good thing because then it seemed like the turbulence did not seem to be as powerful.  I sat next two really little girls whose parents were sitting across the isle. These two little girls were so annoying because they kept screaming, and their parents just happened to be asleep across the isle.  They were pinching each other and hitting each other, and they were doing everything that a small child should never do on a airplane. It was lucky that the flight was only about four and a half hours because I was about to "accidentally" strangle one of them! I ended up watching a movie for the remainder of the flight because I was tired of listening to those kids while I was trying to read my summer novels. It was Grapes of Wrath to be honest, and let me tell you that is a difficult book to read around screaming children.
