Let me tell you about the time I went to New York City, and got lost. So I was about 12 years old, and I was with my dad, brother, sister, cousin, aunt, uncle, nana(grandma), and papa(granddad). I was so excited that I was going to be going to New York City and that I would be getting there via plane! You see, I had never been on a plane before this trip, so travelling by plane was a really big deal for me. As we boarded the plane, my siblings and I played rock, paper, scissors to decide who would get the window seat (I ended up winning). I don’t remember exactly how long we’d been on the plane, but after about 15 minutes, I fell asleep, and I missed most of the flight. Which was a really big deal.

“We’re almost there.” said Ashley
After about 3 hours, we arrived at the police station. I rushed in, and Ashley followed. My eyes widened when I saw my family.
“Dad!!!!” I shouted
“Alli!!!”, shouted Dad, “We’ve been worried sick about you!!!”
My family thanked Ashley, took me back to our hotel, packed up their stuff, and got on the plane back to Georgia. This time I stayed awake on the plane (I may or may not have bought an energy drink when I was with Ashley). I never ever forgot my trip to New York
