Arriving in Disney

4:00 a.m.

"Wake up! It's time to go to Disney!" I heard my mom say. Finally, the day I've been waiting for all school year is here. My mom, dad, brother, and 16 other family members feel this way too. She opened up my bedroom door, excitedly and happily. This is the only time I've ever wanted to get up so early. I got up, not even feeling tired. I was to excited to feel anything but happiness and joy. As I ate and got ready, I couldn't think of anything except getting to the airport and boarding that 7 o'clock plane.
"Wake up! We're going to Disney!" I said to my brother, who was still surprisingly laying in bed. I jumped up and down in his room and pulled him out of bed.

5:00 a.m.

As we sat on the couch, suitcases packed and in front of us, my brother and I waited for my grandparents to start up their car and pop the trunk to put our stuff in for the 5 day trip. Finally, we stepped out into the beautiful summer morning, the sky getting a little light already. The suitcases were put into the back of the trunk, my family was in the car, and we were off. Driving to the airport, the bright, orange sun rose from the horizon, shining on the buildings and the car.

6:00 a.m.

Arriving at the airport, we found the rest of our family, ready to get onto that plane.

6:30 a.m.

We stopped at Dunkins and got some things to eat, since we hadn't eaten since 4:00 in the morning.

6:45 a.m.

We waiting for our flight number to be called. I watched the birds fly around the airport with the sun shining through the windows, burning bright in the sky.

7:00 a.m.

And finally, we were called. We boarded the plane. My brother sat next to me and my parents behind us. My cousins, aunts and uncles were scattered around the plane together. And then, it started to move.

10:00 a.m.

We landed in Orlando. We walked around the beautiful airport, found our suitcases, and found the cars we were renting to drive for this vacation. The car my family got was had a New York plate on it, and the others and Florida plates.

10:45 a.m.

We arrived at our hotel. The Swan and Dolphin, it was called. It was divided up into two buildings, and my whole family stayed in the Swan, rooming next to each other. It was big and beautiful. We were ready to start our adventure. Animal Kingdom was our first stop.

PC or Mac?

The two computer types, the PC and the Mac, are alike but also not so alike to each other. For example, a PC has a higher performance than a Mac would and better graphics. The PC is typically used by gamers and designers or by people who work from home. The PC is not portable but it is bigger and faster. The Mac is portable, which makes is good for people on the go or people who travel or do not work from home. It is also lighter and thinner and has a longer battery life. It is less likely to crash as well. Overall, a PC would be better for those who are not traveling and need a better quality laptop, and a Mac is better for those who are working away from home, whether it be at school or in a business.

The Haunted Woods

It was an amazing day. It was warm, the spring air was fresh, and the sun was shining bright. My cousin Bianca, and my brother Mark and I decided to take a drive to a small, close-to-empty, unpaved parking lot. She had decided to call our other cousin David to see if he wanted to come. He agreed, so he drove down too. We had just had a lot of ice cream at Richardson's, so we decided to take a walk once David met up with us. "No Trespassing", the sign said. It was hung on a chain that was tied from pole to pole
"Let's go in guys," one of my cousins said.
"Yeah, let's go," I agreed. It sounded like fun and it was harmless. There really didn't even seem to be a point of the sign there. So we jumped over the chain and started walking down this path. It was covered in leaves and had sticks everywhere, whether it be on the ground or hanging out from bushes.
"This used to be a road," Bianca said to me. "That's why there's a street sign over there going in the direction of this path." I looked back at the sign. "Pine Street" it said. It was green and faded and all scratched up. "This must be a pretty old street," I thought to myself.
As we walked we realized that none of the trees nor bushes were budding, but there were leaves everywhere on the ground.
"It's been burnt," David said. "There must've been a fire." As we walked along the yellow leaves, we saw one little flower sticking up, popping its head out from under the leaves. It was the only plant alive here.
We didn't really know where we were going, we just kept following the path. A house appeared. An old, abandoned house; the door half open, the window shattered, and the rest of the windows blocked off with wood nailed to them. We slowed down our footsteps and quietly walked towards the house, not knowing what could be inside.
"You guys know what I heard once?" David said to us. "There's a small village hidden around here. But it's not people that live there, so we need to be quiet." I didn't quite understand what he meant. If people didn't live there, then what did?
"Swoosh" I heard from behind me. I jumped a little and turned around, but nothing was there. I continued walking.
"Whip!" I heard next. This time Bianca heard it to. "Okay I am really freaked out," she said to me. "So am I, we should probably leave," I said. The next thing I know I'm hearing David calling my brother's name. "Come on Mark, let's go see what's inside."
"Be careful you guys," I said as my brother and David walked closer towards the house. Bianca and I kept our distance together.
"Do you see that?" I said, looking into the window.
"Yeah, I see something. It's some sort of black shadow. There's something in there. Maybe they shouldn't go in," Bianca replied. But by then it was too late. David was already creaking open the door with Mark following close behind. I started to get very nervous and worried. My stomach was tied in knots. They took quite a while in there. I was starting to think that the thing Bianca and I saw in the window was real and maybe it had followed them, because once they entered the house, I didn't see the shadow standing there anymore. My leg was burning now. I looked down and saw scratches all over it. I wasn't quite sure how they got there. This only scared me more.
After a moment that seemed like forever, David and Mark came running out of the house, covering their mouths and noses and coughing.
"Let's go," David said.
We all ran, Bianca and I in front and David and Mark following in back. Once the house was out of our site, we stopped running.
"That was so scary," I said.
"Hey, where's David?" Bianca asked. We all searched around for him, but couldn't find him.
"David!" Mark screamed.
"Dave!" Bianca yelled.
"David?!" I called out. No answer. This place was scary. One that we will never visit again.
