40.

Monica and Angel sat together, their laptops open and a stack of brochures and notes spread out on the coffee table. It was time to plan their much-anticipated trip to Orlando, a special vacation that would be a well-deserved break and a chance for their family to bond. With Rodney, Romelo, and Laiyah all eagerly awaiting the trip, Monica and Angel were determined to make it a memorable experience.

Monica scrolled through options on her laptop while Angel reviewed details on her tablet. "So, I've been looking at vacation rentals in Orlando. There are some really nice houses close to Universal Studios. It would be great to have our own space and be able to cook some meals if we want to."

Angel nodded, her eyes scanning the screen. "That sounds perfect. We need something spacious enough for all of us and with a few amenities to make our stay comfortable."

Monica found a few promising options. One house stood out—spacious with four bedrooms, a private pool, and a large backyard. It was also conveniently located about a fifteen-minute drive from Universal Studios. Monica showed the details to Angel.

"This one looks fantastic," Monica said, pointing to the listing. "It has everything we need—plenty of room, a fully equipped kitchen, and even a game room for the kids."

Angel looked at the photos and agreed. "It's perfect. Plus, having a private pool will be great for the kids to unwind after a day at the parks."

They quickly booked the house, confirming their dates and securing the reservation. With the accommodation sorted, they turned their attention to the next important detail: their park experience.

Monica and Angel both agreed that making the most of their time at Universal Studios was essential. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit, they decided to purchase VIP passes. These passes would allow them to skip the regular lines and access exclusive areas, making the experience much more enjoyable for everyone.

Angel looked over the details of the VIP passes. "These passes will be a game-changer. We'll have front-of-the-line access to most attractions and special tours. It's going to make the trip so much easier."

Monica smiled, feeling satisfied with their decision. "Exactly. We won't have to worry about waiting in long lines, and we can make sure the kids get to experience everything they want without the stress."

With the major details of the trip sorted, Monica and Angel decided it was time to share the exciting news with Rodney, Romelo, and Laiyah. They wanted to involve the kids in the planning process and make sure they were as excited as they were.

The evening was filled with anticipation as they gathered the kids in the living room. Monica and Angel sat together, their faces beaming with excitement.

"Okay, everyone," Monica began, "we have some big news. We've planned a family trip to Orlando, and we're going to Universal Studios!"

Rodney's eyes lit up. "Really? That's awesome! I've heard so much about the rides there."

Romelo, always keen on new experiences, chimed in. "I can't wait to try out the roller coasters. I've been looking forward to this for a while."

Laiyah, who had been quiet but visibly excited, spoke up. "Are we going to see the Minions? I love the Minions!"

Angel nodded. "Yes, we'll definitely see the Minions and explore The Wizarding World of Harry Potter too. We're also staying in a house with a private pool and a game room."

The kids were thrilled, their excitement evident in their enthusiastic reactions. Monica and Angel took the opportunity to ask the kids about their preferences and interests, ensuring that everyone's desires were considered in their planning.
