Personal Essay.


The time i went to mexico. When i was 15 my mom and dad decided they wanted to take me and my siblings to cancun mexico. That day we left my house we left at 3 in the morning because we had our flight at 7 and my parents wanted to get the six of us their and prepared. So we get their and 7 o'clock rolls around and then they tell all the passengers of the plane that our flight has been delayed until 10 am. So they gave us vouchers for like 15 dollars we could spend at the venues at the airport. So we get some snacks and wait some more and then 10 am comes and still no plane. Then a employee tells us that out flight has been delayed again until 12. After two more hours of waiting and sitting in an airport for 8 hours the plane comes and our flight departed at 12:15. The flight took around three hours it was a pretty smooth ride and things were pretty easy when we landed, we went through customs then grabbed our bags and got a ride on a transport to out resort. The drive was 45 minutes but after that long at the airport it didn't seem that bad. We get their and its breath taking, the palm trees, the ocean, wind and the pools, and all the other families. It was perfect. The only problem was it was late in the day so we didn't do much the first day. And i wasn't feeling the best yet(i was recovering from being sick) so after 30 minutes of just sitting outside i went inside and fell asleep. The next day i was feeling better but still not perfect so i took it easy, a little swimming then just sitting outside and relaxing. That was pretty much my day two. On day three i was feeling great, me and my dad and my brother played sand volleyball we played pool and table tennis, i swam some more, me and my brother went to the “game room” and played video games for a little bit. And then we went out to dinner at one of the restaurants on the resort. One of my favorite parts was that the resort was all inclusive, which makes it to where we can order whatever we want it doesn't coast money. On the fourth day we went on an excursion. We went ATVing through the jungle we went ziplining and we swam in a cave where the water was like a dark sapphire blue, it was really cold. Then after that we went back to the resort and went to dinner at a hibachi grill which was fantastic. On the fifth and last day we just hung out at the resort and played some more volleyball table tennis and pool. We went to dinner at a french themed restaurant and then we went to sleep and left the next day.
