As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!
Just imagine wearing short clothes or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!
Before the journey started, we met with something at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom (接待家庭的妈妈) and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt relaxed and happy. It was just because of the decorations on our clothes!
Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share bedrooms. I, fortunately or unfortunately, had to share a room with my fouryearold host sister. She was little compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking her up and hardly slept at all. Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warmhearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their words, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be real fun. We boated fast and I saw manatees (海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!
