- A TRIP TO HAITI
- Today is the day!
- I woke up the August morning, knowing that today was the day! I was going to my mom's home country: Haiti!
- I walked into the living room and found my mom packing.
- Hi Mom! I'm very excited!!
- Good morning, are you excited?
- Today was a very big day for me. I had been to Haiti before, when I was 1 and 4 years old, but this time I would be able to make memories that I would remember!
- As I was eating, my mom joined me in the kitchen, and spoke to me about today.
- Wow, this is really going to be..... interesting.
- This is going to be your first time truly experiencing a plane ride.
- Oh, wow. This is my first time on a plane. What will this be like? Will everything be ok??
- I knew that airplanes were the safest form of transportation, but there were still possibilities of dangers.
- As I realized she was right, I was pondering all of the things that could happen, while on a plane.
- A few hours past, and we made it to the airport, and after being in the waiting room for quite some time, our flight was eventually
- Time to go, Sweetie
- Oh no.... its time..
- My fears started to come back, I began to shake a little.
- We Boarded the plane. Everyone took their seats. The flight attendants explained what to do in case of an emergency landing.
- There were butterflies , flapping in my stomach
- And here is the emergency exit!
- The plane took off. As it was escalating higher in the sky, my anxiety soared with it.
- But after seeing how come everyone was, my worries had eventually vanished.
- I had relaxed myself for the rest of the trip, I had watched tv and ate snacks.
- Soon the plane landed at the airport in Haiti. My mom and I went outside to look for my uncle. We spotted him. He hugged me, and started talking about how much I've grown.
- My. my! You've gotten so big since the last time I saw you!
- As we were on the way to my grandmothers house, I noticed a lot of familiar things, such as the fruit stands on the sidewalks!
- After a 30 minute car ride, we made it to the house, and my memory had officially come back. I'd recognize that gate anywhere.
- I remember this!
- My mother went to the front door, I followed her slowly. All of a sudden, I heard a shrieking sound coming from inside; I walked to see my 93 year old grandmother lying in a small bed in the living room. Her mouth was open, she was in a pure state of shock. And tears of joy started rolling down her suntanned face. I guess she wasn’t expecting us to arrive so soon
- As I put my suitcase down, a thought crossed my mind. What would this trip actually be like? I was in a whole different country, surrounded by close family members, who spoke a different language. How would I communicate with them? I was feeling rather uneasy.
- Oh!!!!
- I nervously walked up to her, and said hello
- H-hi
- Hello!
- She said something to me in French so my mom translated for me
- She said hello, and that you look beautiful.
- Haiti is very different from the US. It is warmer there, and sometimes, lizards creep through the holes in the walls.
- I should probably get used to all of this now.
- I stayed in the room watching Youtube for an hour, till a great smell pulled me out.
- *sniffs* What's that?
- I walked out and saw a plate of rice and beans on the table!
- Wow!
- After we ate it, I had some passion fruit juice, a Haitian favorite !
- The first day in Haiti went very well! I had hoped that the rest of the trip would go well too.
- I thought as my heavy eyelids closed.
- I woke up to see everyone else was already awake.
- Good morning!
- Good morning Mom.Bonjour.
- Bien!
- Bonjour!
- Como ca va?
- My mom's cousin made breakfeast, which was baked bread and delicious eggs.
- So Good!
- The rest of the week was great. We enjoyed, sandy beaches, fancy restaurants and we had a lot of flavorful ice cream!
- She says she hopes you have a safe flight back, and she loves you very much!
- Soon the week was over and it was time to say goodbye. I hugged my grandmother. She said something to me in French, so my mom translated for me.
- Bye!
- Au revoir!
- We walked outside and waved goodbye.
- Bye!
- During the return flight, I realized how great my grandmother really is, and how nice Haiti was. I couldn’t wait to go there again
- The End
