I'm back!!!
January 25, 2008I came back to Vegas Tuesday night around 6:30pm. My trip was crazy!!!!
I met this dude Arrius, and we went to L.A. to meet the rest of the people going on the trip. We were the first there. Once we arrived, I found out we were going to be the only ones that don't live in Cali. Haha. Anyway, we had Shakey's pizza for dinner blah blah blah.. These college kids came to the JBA headquarters. I guess they're going to do a documentary on blind kids and their dreams. At first, I thought they meant what they want to do in the future, but they meant if they see anything in their dreams at night. Then I found out a lot of these kids have a lot of talent. Aarius and I didn't know anyone so we were really quiet. Then I met Sara and Dani. They were pretty cool.
We went to the airport to fly to Dallas. I was so bored and had no one to talk to haha.. We only got to stay in Dallas for a little bit 'cause we had to catch our plane to Orlando and it was dark so I can't tell you what I thought of Dallas haha.. We didn't arrive in Orlando until about 11:30am. We were supposed to be there at like 6am or something so yeah... It was really really humid the first day in Orlando and we were stuck in a van for a few hours and my hair got all frizzy =( We finally got to our hotel room and dude.. It wasn't like any place I stayed before.. It had a master bedroom, another bedroom with two beds, an upstairs with two couches which were like beds, a full sized kitchen, AND living room. It was totally awesome! I slept upstairs so I didn't have to share a bed hehehehe
We went to a pirate show and I thought it was going to be some stupid bar show or something but then I found out its like dinner and a show. I loved it. Pirates are the bomb! Number two on my cool list. ^-^ [Criss Angel is number one, of course!] So I got this cool skull neclace that blinks all different colors.. Totally cool. The dinner wasn't have bad, either. It rained that night, by the way...
The second day I was there, I had to wake up at 6am, which is like 3am my normal time.. Ew.. So I told my roomie that I set my alarm and asked her to press snooze on my phone when it went off, because she was closer to it. So morning came, the alarm went off and she didn't turn it off.. It made me so mad lol Anyway.. That day we went to NASA.. It was pretty boring, but I took pictures anyway.. It was freezing!!! After that, we went to Magic Kingdom.. Maybe it was the day after I don't remember.. Anyway.. We went on some cool rides... I got to go to the Haunted Mansion. My buddy [Person I was guiding] and I were screaming our lungs out for no reason lol I also went on the Pirates ride.. I saw Jack Sparrow 3 times!!! Yay!!! We went on this stupid Peterpan ride.. My buddy and I screamed our lungs out again for no reason haha
Next day they let us sleep in until about 8am.. A little better haha.. We went to MGM studios. First ride we went on was Hollywood Tower of Terror! It was so awesome! I also went on The Rockin' Rollercoaster!! Too bad I only got to go on it once... We did a few other stupid things and then when it was dark we went on Hollywood Tower of Terror again!! It was so awesome.. But Frankie said I punched him in the face haha.. It's his fault.. I mean, what is his face doing near my fist? HAHAHA Yeah..
-I hated the flight home. Aarius and I went alone to Miami to switch planes. The Staff people said they wanted BOTH of us in wheelchairs but only Aarius got one, then the dude that was pushing the wheelchair split us up so I was alone for awhile. Then I asked someone to help me get to my gate and told him I was Visually Impared but he wouldn't help me. Then I found them and the dude rushed ahead of me and didn't even try to keep track of me. I kept tripping 'cause he was walking so fast and I was having a hard time keeping up with him. An elevator almost closed on me. Then my mother freaked out 'cause she didn't know I caught the plane. Then when I got there my mother started crying her eyes out... I hate American Airlines... But I'm back home and safe. =)
- I got some pictures as well, but I won't get them until Tuesday so Look back for them around Tuesday or Wedensday..
