A trip to India

Intro

  I was going to India with my family. In my past experience vacations were awesome. When my dad announced that we were going to India, I felt very happy. I thought this was going to be the best vacation ever! On the day of departure, we packed up and drove to the airport.

Getting there

 Getting there was a big problem. It took one hour to get to the airport. There was a two hour waiting for checking our passports. It took another one hour to check in our luggage. Lastly, it took one hour to board the plane. All this took 5 hours! I was exhausted when we got in the seat. I fell asleep right away. I woke up 3 hours later. I looked at the screen that show how far we were. It turned out we weren't even close to our destination. There was still 33 more hours left. I looked at the map and I saw that we were going to Singapore which was out of way to India. I asked my dad why we were not going the quicker route. He said that there was no direct flight to India so we had to take a detour. I had nothing to do for 33 hours.  We stopped at Singapore and flew directly to India. I was very bored.

At India

 When we finally got there, I was happy because I couldn't move at all in the plane. No more planes for a while.
Feeling
 The weather was surprisingly hot. It was so strong that I thought I would get sun burn. Our family tried to move quickly to the mountains in north India for vacation to escape the heat. Slowly, we also got adjusted.

Places we visited
 We visited many beautiful places such as, Shimla, Manssoori, Badrinath. I like being in the Himalayas.
- They are mountains in India. I liked the Himalayas best because it was colder. I saw great outdoors. There were many enormous buildings. Most of the grass was green. I saw almost everywhere on the south side of India.
Funny animals
  I also saw some of the most interesting animals like monkeys. They were covered with brown fur. They could move fast. They also made these noises that I can't understand even though I am its cousin. I saw a lot of monkeys in Shimla. Once in a Hunuman temple, my dad got attacked by a monkey. It took his glasses and scratched him. It was hilarious and sad for my dad. My mom gave what the monkey wanted so she wouldn't get attacked.

Living conditions

 We went in many hotels. I forgot their names. They were okay. They weren't as good as home. My home had air conditioner and the hotels didn't. There are more differences between my home and the hotels.

Trip back
 After we visited almost everywhere, we went back to the airport. Then, we flew home safely.



Conclusion
 This vacation was adventurous. It had good parts and bad. The bad part is that It was hot, not as nice as home, and there were long journeys on the road. It was good because, we got to see beautiful areas, we had fun with the family together, and because there were lot of funny animals. I am ready for another adventure.
