In a Heartbeat

Chapter 6

I wake up very early around five in the morning to leave for my flight. My mom and little sister are coming with me since Stephanie couldn't come since she is in college.We head out the big glass doors that lead to the hospital to drive to the airport. We get in moms car and buckle up, it's so early in the morning that Abby and I still look like we are half asleep and inside we are too. Abby falls asleep in the car so I wake her up when we get to the airport. Abby wakes up with a loud groan. We walk inside the airport and it is packed with people with a lot of bags and suitcases. We go get some donuts for breakfast in the airports Starbucks and wait in the bench seats for our flight. Finally after a long two hour wait the flight attendant calls out our flight number and we grab all our stuff and rush onto the airplane. Everyone boards the plane and get Into our seats. We all have seats together in the same row and I get the window seat to look out to see the view. Eventually we all fall asleep and when we wake up we are at the California airport and it's time to get off the plane. When we get off its very hot outside and I can barely stand all the heat index. When we arrive in the airport we have to get a taxi to drive us to our five star hotel. We jump in the taxi and drive off, our taxi mans name is Jerry and he's very nice. We arrive at our hotel and it is so shiny and huge, I can't wait to get inside because I've heard they have a spa and a giant pool room with a hot tub. When check in at the front desk to get our room key, we are room 447. I pull my suit case into the elevator with Abby and mom. Our room has one big bed and a tv in another and a small connecting room with a bunk bed and a TV for Abby and I. We put our stuff on our beds and put our swimsuits on to get in the pool. The hotel is so big that we couldn't even find the pool so we asked a hotel worker named Amy and she helped us out. The pool room is big and is filled with kids splashing and having fun but we go get in the hot tub first. We swim for a few hours then it starts to get late so we jump of of the pool,dry off and get in the elevator. We slide our key into the slot to open our room door. We throw our wet suits in the sink and put our pjs on to go to bed.
