Last vacations -- Catalina Franco



My last vacation
By Catalina Franco C.

During my last vacation in January of 2013, I traveled to United States. I prepared myself for this trip because I traveled there during winter time. I planned this trip to share time with my brother and his family who live in the United States. My brother suggested for me to bring warm clothing since winter could be extremely cold. He told me that I could not forget about taking a photo camera and a good jacket for this trip. I had also have to go shopping for a suitcase and winter clothes in order to be well prepared. I searched online to organize my trip schedule, checked the weather and find interesting places to visit. I enjoyed my trip so much because I got to see many beautiful places; however, the most valuable experience I remember was when I went skiing with my family. Skiing seemed easy just watching it but it was not. Although, the adrenaline and the excitement practicing sky was priceless. I remember watching from the sky shelter, many people having fun while they were skiing. When my family started to ski, they were doing it well and seemed not having any issues. Yet, the fun came when I tried to go down the ski track. At that time, I understood that skiing is not as easy as I thought, specially for a beginner like me. I remembered falling all the way down in the track. My clothes were wet and full of snow after I was able to get to the bottom of the hill. Despite falling many times and ending up with sore hands, arms, back, legs and feet, I enjoyed a lot the experience and I want to repeat it a thousand times. Of course, I also enjoyed it by knowing that my family was having fun and was laughing at me every time I fell.
