=Stories about Trips=



=Long Wait= by Cesar Silva My dad parked in the ice cream shaped parking lot. I jumped off the car as I landed on the rough, cold floor. It smelled like one day old diaper. I ran towards the exit as I watched the parking lot getting dimmer and dimmer until it was out of my sight.

After I departed from the parking lot my sister, my dad, and me headed for the airport. I walked through the crossways. I had not heard anything or anyone as everybody walked making “clickity clack”sounds. I made it all the way towards the door. I thought for a second “Fancy doors, gleaming lights. This must cost a lot of money.” My dad finally came and opened the door.

I entered the airport. I headed over to the luggage section first, to see if my mom had arrived. I jogged towards the section but, there was no sign of my mom’s luggage. My sister got on her tiptoes. She tried but she saw nothing.

I sat down on a chair. I thought of nothing. In my head I heard the word “relax.” I cooled off from times that I walked, sat, and the car that rode me to the airport. I stood up and walked towards the gate. [Frustrated I kicked the gate so hard my foot ``cried`` help.]

The clock ticked and made me more anxious than ever. I panted around my dad. I worried so much about mom. [This reminded me of tests when I worried so much about my grade.] I saw the clock and it slowed down. It ticked me off. I yelled “why did you leave me, why did you miss my birthday” and even more frustrated I kicked the gate even harder than before.

I saw my mom with her red lipstick. She wore her purple flower shirt which was only used during special occasions. My mom also wore her long dark, black pants that were flexible with her high heels. She flipped her hair like a movie star. She stopped herself and her red lipstick smiled at me. My mom finally moved her lips and said “hello baby.”

She opened her arms wide and prepared for the impact. I jumped on top of her. I whiffed her shirt and asked my mom “new perfume?”

My mom gave me a big red smooch on my cheeks. I gave my dad thumbs up. I rushed towards the luggage section. I walked over to the escalator and I grabbed one of my mom’s luggage cases. My dad grabbed the other luggage cases. I panted harder and harder because my mom’s luggage case had two elephants inside. I thought to myself, “Even though all that stuff that happened to me this was still the best day ever.”

= = =The alligators= BY: Giovanna Ditro

“Look at the alligator’s scaly skin and there razor sharp teeth” I said! I was watching the alligators at the zoo.

Right after that I vanished into thin air. Then my mom said where did Giovanna go?

When I got there I just stood there looking at the alligators’ really wanted to touch the alligator’s skin. Then I was wondering if they were going to get out of the water yet .They have been in there for a long time. Right after I said those last words my mom came. She said come on Giovanna lets go. I burst into tears and said good bye to the alligators. Then I burst into happiness because I can go back and see the alligators again some day.

  =The wait for the water ride...= Everyone had their own tube of a different color. Kevin got a fiery red one because that is his favorite color. I got a light green tube that looks like a vine from a rain forest. ** Kevin said “I love ride but hate the line!” the line got shorter by the hour. It felt like a million years. One hour later, we were closer to the front of the line. ** It got boring so we played a game called I-spy. I went first and I chose the wave pool. It took him like 10 minutes to figure out. He went next and I took longer to figure it out. It was my tube. ** Finally, we got to go. I went first, it was a dark twisty slide. It had little holes for light. I hit my head on the slide. The water was freezing cold. I slid side to side. Kevin went next. He told me that he hit his elbow and it had a bruise. He went down really fast. I got down first and he almost fell on me. I got water in my nose because he almost fell on me. Kevin drank he water by accident. ** He splashed me and I also drank water by mistake. The water went in my mouth and out my nose. He laughed at me because my nose looked like a fountain. It was only a couple seconds. “Ha ha you are a nose fountain” said Kevin.” Come on let’s start the games. The ride ended with games. You can jump on the lily pads or “Ha Ha you are a nose fountain” said Kevin.” “Come on let’s start the games.” The ride ended with games. You can jump on lily pads or climb across on ropes to get across the pool. ** “I am going to beat you to the games at the end of the ride.” Oh yeah! ” I don’t think so!” Yes, I am first to start the games.” ** Next, I went on the rope line. I made it to the begging but fell because he pushed me for revenge. Kevin made it to the middle but fell because he got blisters. ** On my third turn, I fell because of my cousin Linh. She went and made it on the first time. ** I went and made it. Kevin made it too. ** The day had ended but I knew it was a day to remember forever. ** =My trip in Trinidad=
 * By: An Ta **
 * Kevin and I were waiting in line for a ride at Dorney park, Wild water kingdom. The ride was called Lilly pads, we waited and waited in that super duper long line! It had about a million people! **
 * I jumped from lily pad to lily pad. I fell on the second to the last. “Your turn Kevin.” Kevin got to the third lily pad but fell because I pushed him. “I am going to get you one day.” **

=By: Jasmine W.=


 * Last year I went to Trinidad to go see my grandmom. Trinidad is a small island. When I first stepped off the plane I realized the air was no ordinary smelly old air. It was fresh and flower scented as it gently tickled my nose then swiftly moved by. **
 * We got to my grandma’s house around 6:00 in the evening. The cool night air left a chill as I walked into my grandma’s house. My cousins were with me and my mom. We walked in and said hi to everybody. **
 * I was just thinking about the food. My mouth started to water. It felt like hours until we got to eat but it was only 5 minutes. The smell from the food teased me then we finally got to eat. There were all sorts of food. There were American and Trinidad foods. After we finished eating, me and my cousin Carol sat near the water to get our feet wet. **
 * Then I felt something go splat on my back. My cousin Khaos threw a sand castle at my back. Then me and my cousin Carol got up and threw about 20 more at him. Then my cousin threw some back. Then I said “I declare war!” We ran along the shore throwing sand balls at each other. My cousin Carol said “Stop!” we kept throwing sand balls then my cousin threw a big hard sand ball at my cousin Carol. **
 * I saw it swoosh past my face as it twirled in the air. Splat, Splat, Splat! He threw at least 3 harder ones. Carol yelled “Stop, I’m not playing!” Then Carol got mad and pushed Khaos into the water. I felt the water splash in my face and it was so salty and cold. Carol threw about 8 sand balls before Khaos could get up. He started to say things he shouldn’t had said. He chased Carol for about 10 minutes. Then suddenly they collapsed like a deck of cards. We went back to my grand mom’s house. The next day we had breakfast. The morning air smelled fresh as always. When we got on the plane I blew a kiss. It was like I could see it float down. **

We were in the nice clean water. The sun was shining on it. Everyone was having a great, awesome time. My Aunt Ivy was carrying my two year old cousin Joey while we were splashing towards him making him laugh. We smelled something like rotten eggs in the pool. I thought it smelled like throw up. So, we looked and there was like a hundred poopballs. They looked like M&M's. And my Aunt yelled, "Joey pooped". And everyone screamed and they didn't use the steps to get out, they used the back of the pool.
 * My trip to North Carolina! **
 * By Kiara Badillo **

When Joey saw everyone scream and jump out of the pool he stared at the pool like "why'd you get out?" Then we got out and everyone was grossed out. "I thought I can't believe he did that". "What are the maids going to say?" But they never found out because my Uncle Joe cleaned it up with the scooper. And we looked at the pool and tried to remember how it looked before Joey had pooped in the pool. And we looked one more time we saw poop all over the pool. The poop looked like dirt and brown rocks.

We all looked at each other and laughed like there was no tomorrow. First my Mom looked at my Aunt. So, my Aunt looked at my brother. And my brother looked at me. Then we all laughed. I couldn't stop. But after my cousin Joey saw everyone laughing he smiled and laughed like he knew what was going on.

=1973, Dodge Charger= By: Robert Lenard Keck

“Robert, come here,” my dad called. I walked to him not knowing what was around the corner. My dad was at the computer. “We are getting a 1973 Dodge Charger today.” I almost did a back flip. My Dad called his friend on his cell phone. He asked “Do you want to get a car with us?” In a flash he said “YES.” Me, my Dad, and my dad’s friend went to get the car. We went to U-Haul on Street Road to rent a flat bed trailer. Then we went to my house to go on Mapquest.com. We got directions to Downing Town, .PA. We went to my grand pa’s house to get tow straps. Then we went to Wendy’s. We went to Wendy’s because we did not want to be hungry during the ride. We did not stop during the ride. We were on the high way; we went for a boring ride. But when we got to the car it was not boring anymore. I saw a faded red brick holding down a dirty blue tarp. We started taking the tarp off and I saw the car itself.

I asked my dad “Is this car nice or what?” It looked like a project and a half. It looks like that because of all the dirt and dust. We were on our way back home and I was so excited. I was so happy because we got it for free. We pulled into my drive way and we where all tired. We had to unload the car from the trailer. We had to push the big heavy car off the trailer and with struggle into the garage. When the car was all the way in the garage that’s when I was hoping to come back soon.
