The dreamt vacation (Part III)

It was a rainy blowing day. It was 27th December. It was the day. We were all exciting at the local airport. We had to fly to Bs As, where we would take our flight to Europe. When we arrived at Bs As, the sun was shining and it was a hot day. We all were happy, but unfortunately it lasted a few hours because our teacher told us that we had to wait until the following day to take the flight since our plane was broken.
The company was in charge of our accommodation, meals and calls. We stayed in a comfortable and warmly hotel. The hotel was near “peatonal Florida”, so we decided to go out and know that famous place which is full of shops, we also went to “Puerto Maderos”, Obelisco, and Cabildo. The day was almost to finish, we had dinner and went to bed because the following day was the day!
It was 28th December. It was 6: 30 when the telephone rang; it was our “alarm clock”. We had a bath and got our luggage down stairs. Then we had our breakfast. At 8 o’clock our mini bus arrived it would take us to the International Airport of Ezeiza.
We wait for HOURS, until a soft and gentle voice said that we had to check in. We were so exciting; I couldn’t believe that in few hours we were to be in Europe.
As I got into the plane, a lady welcomed and indicated what my seat was.

We had the date of our departure, so we-students- had to arrange every document required to travel abroad. I made the procedure in order to get my passport six month before, but something was wrong, all my documents had been lost at the police station; and in two weeks we were suppose to be in Ireland. I can’t explain how my heart was, the whole dream of being in Europe was vanishing at same time as the police officer told me “sorry, you have to make the procedure again, it will take two weeks to get the passport.” When I arrived home, my parents saw my depress face, and they could infer that something happened. My parents had worked so hard to save the money for the journey that they decided to not renounce to this. A few days after this incident, my mother and I traveled to Capital federal to obtain the passport. It was said that there the procedure was more quickly and it would take only a few days. Fortunately, it was true.
The dreamt vacation (Part I)

Have you ever dream with the perfect vacation? Ten years have passed since I first traveled abroad and I had the chance to experience the most beautiful vacation that have ever imagined. I was only 17 years old when my parents gave me the most precious gift, a journey to Ireland.
One day, as I was at class, our English teacher told us about her project of forming a group of students to travel to Ireland in order to attend an English course. As soon as I heard this news, I could picture into my mind how amazing it would be. So, I told my parents about the meeting that my teacher has arranged to inform about the journey; and they agreed to go to the reunion, I couldn’t believe it. From that moment after the meeting, many parents and students worked together to get money for the journey. Almost ten months have passed when we get the sufficient amount of money to pay for our course and accommodation. When one day our teacher said that she already had the date for our departure, it was the December 27th, 1996.
