Chapter 1- Bye U.S.A!

One cold night my daddy picked me up from my Grandma's house with a big piece of luggage and we drove off in the night. J I asked where we were going to spend the night and he said at my Uncle’s house. I was really excited because if we were spending the night at my Uncle's house, that meant we were also spending the night with my little cousin Ethan! Ethan and I went to bed early because we had to leave for Paris, France at 4:00 am in the morning with our family!!! When we woke up we got changed, packed a few more things and we were on our way. We got in the car and I played with Ethan while our uncle Hoang took us to LAX! We got to LAX and found our termanal. Our plane for Canada took off at 8:00 am so we had a long time to wait. We were only going to Canada on the way because from the U.S to Paris was a long flight. My dad and Uncle started talking so my Aunt Tweety took Ethan and I to go order breakfast for everyone. When we brought back the breakfast, everyone ate and my Dad and I went to go look around. We came back and we only had one hour left until our flight. To make the one hour pass, me and Ethan played a few games and took a nap. Our daddies woke us up and we got on the plane to Canada!

Chapter 2- The Begging of Paris

My seat was right next to my Daddy's seat. It probably took about 45 minutes for the plane to take off but it was fine. When the plane took off my daddy took out a present my Uncle gave us called Archos .It was a portable Movie/TV show player with probably 200 shows on it. I watched Zoey 101 while Daddy watched 10,000 B.C (which he would not let me watch). We watched some more movies and then it was time for dinner. The plane meals had two choices, Chicken with Mashed potatoes and vegetables or Beef with mashed potatoes and vegtables. My daddy and I ate chicken and it was time for bed. I put my chair back and went to sleep. When I woke up the plane was going to land in 30 minutes! My Daddy and I watched a few more shows and then the plane landed. My Dad and the rest of the family were so relieved that the plane landed. When we got off the plane we found our next terminal and Uncle Hoang went to go get us food. We each ate a burger, fries, and a drink and then my Daddy and I went shopping, and bought a few things like skittles. We ran around the airport, Ethan and I played video games and played with our daddy’s cameras and took a nap. We woke up got on the plane and did the same routine. When we arrived in Paris we got our luggage and went to our hotel. It was called The Select. I shared a room with my Papa and we were in room #55. We were on floor 5 and when we went in, our Uncle Neil also came in. My Uncle Neil and soon to be Aunt Jen were the reasons we were in Paris in the first place! They were getting married!!! When my Uncle Neil entered the hotel room he handed me a pastel pink bag and he said it was a present from he and Aunt Jen. When I opened it, it had a pretty wedding coloring book, soda, Crayons and a BEAUTIFUL bracelet! It was so nice of them to do that. He also said that everyone was taking a nap and shower and just resting from the long plane ride. So my Daddy and I did just that. When we woke up the next morning we took a shower, got changed, brushed our teeth and Met everyone downstairs. It wasn’t just my Uncle Hoang and Aunt Tweety and Ethan that went. My Uncle Dai and Aunt Wendy, Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Neil and Aunt Jen, Mr. and Ms. Klien, Aunt Mary and Uncle Paul, And some friends of the bride and groom also went. When we got downstairs we met everyone and started walking. I asked where we were going and he said to breakfast. So we ate breakfast and then a few more days went by and soon it was the day of the wedding!!!

Chapter 3-The Wedding

My dad and I woke up, did the Normal morning Routine, and called My Aunt Tweety and Uncle Hoang's room and I got dressed. I went up to their room and Aunt Tweety got ready, and then we went back to our room and did our hair. When we did my hair, unfortunately I burned my elbow when I reached over the table on the curling iron.L Afterwards Ethan and I went around the Hotel and then it was time to go! My Papa said that we got a private bus just for the wedding!!! The drive was pretty long drive so Ethan and I fell asleep on the way. Our daddies woke us up again and we all walked over to the chapel. When the wedding started the bride walked in wearing the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen! It was white and sparkly. I loved it. After the wedding was over we went out to eat! We went to a very pretty garden type thing had a few snacks and went inside. The room we walked into was really pretty! There were candles everywhere and even little name tags!!! All the lights were out but the room was shimmering from the light of the candles. We picked up our name tags and went to our table. There were several courses and a desert that none of the kids could have. During dinner Ethan fell asleep and a few people made toasts and speeches. After dinner there was a gigantic cake shaped like the Eiffel Tower! We had our dessert and then it was time to dance!!! We danced and danced and then it was time for Uncle Dinky and Mimi to leave. L When they left suddenly Uncle Neil noticed they forgot something but I didn’t know what it was. So Uncle Dai, Uncle Neil, and I ran to go get them. We caught them gave the item to them and ran back. After the party was over we went to a castle to spend the night!!! We woke up and went outside. Everybody was sitting at the tables. Ethan and I played for a while and then we ran with our uncle Chris. And then we did races from one side of the park to the other. We also played tag with Uncle Chris and when it was time for him to leave; he was it the whole way home!!! JAfter that it was soon time to leave Paris and go to Barcelona!!! Then we packed our things and got on the train. For me the train was my favorite part. In my cabin was Ethan, Aunt Wendy, Aunt Tweety and I. We got into our cabins and put up our luggage in the cubbies. Aunt Wendy and I sat on one side and aunt Tweety and Ethan sat on the other. We waved goodbye to our Aunt Mary and Uncle Paul because they were going to Grease and then the train started rolling.

Chapter 4 -Barcelona, Spain!!!

Ethan read us a book from Kung Fu Panda called: The Furious Five. When he was done the Conductor came in and put down our beds and then me and Ethan got on the top bunks and Aunt Tweety and Aunt Wendy got on the bottom. I drew and Ethan watched a few videos and it was time for bed. During the night I couldn't really sleep because the hangers in the cabin were knocking against the wall, but I fell asleep after a while. When I woke up in the morning, everybody woke up, brushed our teeth and soon the train rolled to a stop. We got our luggage and stepped off the train. We were so excited to be in Barcelona!!!!! J We stepped outside and we saw very tall and large buildings and statues. My Uncle Dai got out a map when we were walking down the street with our luggage. He said the hotel we were staying at was called The Hotel Rialto. When we got there we checked in and our room was #507 on the sixth floor. We both took a nap and accidentally slept all day. J When we woke up in the morning we went out to eat. Ethan and I brought McDonalds to the place that the adults ate, which was in some Fruit Market. Ethan and I ate with the family and then it was my favorite part of day… Shopping. First we went to a candy shop called SloSl. Then we went to a few clothing shops and went to the hotel. Everybody except Aunt Wendy, Aunt Tweety and I were tired and took naps. So then I got some presents for my family back at home. We also went to a place called Zero where I got girls stuff like rings and jewelry. My daddy gave me money to buy stuff so I bought five pieces of jewelry. After that we went to get a tasty snack called Gelato. It’s a delicious fruity Italian ice cream. After we shopped a while, we went back to the hotel. We all went back to our rooms and most of us went to sleep. After a few days we had to get back on the train and go back to France for just one more day. When we got back to France, my Daddy got really sick!!! While he lay in bed, we got him a few pastries and brought him back some spaghetti. Finally it was time to go back home!!!

Chapter 5- Back Home (Canada First)!!!

Once we got to Canada we had to get on another plane back home!!! We were so excited once we got home!!! We were also completely tired so we went back to Uncle’s house, took a nap, had some dinner, and went back to our houses. But Uncle Dai and Aunt Wendy stayed in Barcelona! And that was the end of the best 12 days of my life!!!
