Ever since my early years, I had yearned to go through an enormous North American nation. Within the borders of North America a nation with vastly different cultural and technical backgrounds. The United States have quite distinct traditions and customs. The USA experiences distinct seasons.
My family was traveling with me when we arrived at our destination. We planned a month long journey to explore and learn about different North American cultures. The main highlights of this were San Diego, Las Vegas, Los Angeles. In this essay I will be discussing, The Adventuredome Indoor Theme Park of Las Vegas, Castles N’ Coasters of Phoenix, My experience of hotels , My air travel, feeling of traveling in trams and monuments and much more.
10 days before the trip, we started packing our necessities for the trip. Accordingl to our travelog, it was a dream coming true for me. I was unable to hold my excitement and was patiently waiting for the day of departure. After a long wait the day of departure arrived. Our departure began early in the morning at 4 am. We had our flight at 9am . We had a light breakfast and left for the airport. I couldn’t believe that I was going to the USA and Canada . After we reached the airport, I met my relatives in India for one last time before the flight and left for the check in . It was a different and unique experience for me to give my documents for checking like my passport , visa and other documents. As a beginner the experience was good. When I boarded the plane my feeling was amazing.
I was a first timer on a plane. The experience in the plane was up to scratch. It was a long 20h flight. We had our lunch on the plane, which was satisfactory. We began preparing for the trip ten days in advance, in accordance with our itineraries. For me it was a dream coming true for me, and I couldn’t contain my enthusiasm as I eagerly awaited the departure day. The day of departure finally came after a protracted wait. We departed around four in the morning. We took off around nine in the morning. After a quick breakfast, we headed to the airport. I was in shock that I would be visiting the United States . We arrived at the airport, and I had one final meeting with my Indian family before the flight before heading to check-in. Giving my documents to be checked was a novel and unusual experience for me.visas, passports, and other paperwork. It was a good experience for a newcomer. I felt so good when I got on the plane was my first time flying. The flight experience was excellent. It was a twenty-hour flight.It was good that we could eat lunch aboard the plane.
After the long flight we arrived at Phoenix . We continued our journey from the airport to our hotel through a taxi. Our resting place during the stay in Phoenix was the Staybridge Suites . It was an amazing experience in the hotel. The main highlight of the hotel was the room service.We took a break during our first day. The Next Day we began to explore the astonishing city. We used a unique mode of transport over there which were trams similar to the trains found in India but they wereIn used on roads along with cars. After traveling from trams we arrived at a traditional American restaurant where we tried their common food like raspado, huevos rancheros and tamales.We explored the well known Papago park .
It had an amazing view from elevated lands and had a great sunrise to look at . The sky suddenly changed its shades from blue to yellow and orange. The view was topped with chirpy songs of birds. We explored another famous tourist attraction of phoenix which was the Phoenix Zoo . In the zoo I spotted various different animals that are only found in usa. . Then we proceeded towards the Castles N’ Coasters amusement park. I enjoyed many amazing and scary rides over there. My most favorite ride in the park was the roller coaster.
Then we went to the Musical Instrument Museum. I saw historical instruments that I had never seen before. I got immersed in a broad variety of instruments from parts of the world.A little pause from explaining the journey. In Phoenix I learned about many of the birds like Eclectus parrot, Golden pheasant, Galah, and Harlequin Macaw. After coming back from the park I did some research about these birds and gained some important knowledge of the world of birds.
My analogy on the Castles N’ Coasters is that fun also plays an important role in our lives along with education and both of these are equally important in our lives. I also learnt to enjoy every moment of my life. Now we boarded our Bus and moved on to our next adventure.
In Los Angeles, California, we visited theme parks, museums, and much more. I’ve always wanted to travel to locations like Los Angeles. The beach in Venice was our first stop. We observed beach culture and witnessed incredible performances by singers, instrumentalists, and musicians. It was like nothing I had ever seen on the street.
Our sport of choice was surfing, which I found to be really exciting. In the evening, we stood on the pier and watched the sun set. Following a day spent enjoying the beach, After returning to our accommodations, we headed to bed. Due to its diverse cultures and activities, which were too many to cover in a single day, Los Angeles took us two days to see the major locations.
Early the following day, We visited Six Flags Magic Mountain, one of Los Angeles’s most well-known theme parks, early the next morning and enjoyed a variety of rides. I enjoy terrifying coasters, so this place exceeded my expectations in that regard. I felt a range of feelings.I was both terrified and amazed when I rode these coasters. following a fun time in the park.We visited a few art museums that showcased Californian culture.
One of the most significant museums in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Magdalene with the Smoking Flame drew our attention despite the museum’s lovely array of artwork. It looked quite lifelike and had really fine details. We arrived at our accommodations after traveling all day and proceeded to the next section.
California’s San Diego, San Diego’s water parks were well-known to me. We visited Aquatica at SeaWorld San Diego because this made me want to seek out their water parks. It had some really incredible water slides with sharp bends. The breakaway was the most difficult; I was terrified the entire time I was sliding. The day had a refreshing wind. Additionally, we saw a few creatures that the water park staff had saved.
The fact that kindness and consideration for other creatures still exist made me feel quite gratified. We then headed to the food. We sampled their most well-liked dish, California-style pizza, which I fell in love with the moment I bit into it because of its distinct flavor. It had a really impressive presentation.
After our lunch we headed to our next destination which was USS Midway Museum. I was astonished after seeing it as it was made over water. I had never seen such a structure before. It was equally beautiful from inside and outside. We saw many magnificent jets. It had an old style design and was a must see. Now we moved to the airport for our next city.
Las Vegas, Nevada, I had heard a lot about Las Vegas night view, shopping and entertainment. We met our relatives who lived in las vegas, we then explored the city with them. First, I headed to a famous scenic spot, the Fountains of Bellagio. It had dancing water held with music. There was a cool breeze near the fountain and I had never experienced such a thing before. Then we spent our afternoon in High Roller and went shopping. We could have a large view of the high roller.
We could spot many shopping roads and hotels from the roller. We went shopping for clothes, accessories and we went to some bakeries and bought some cakes. After shopping we went to explore some entertainment spots and found the sky jump. I had always enjoyed such rides. During the sky jump I was really happy, I could see the sky from so close, this will be a lifetime, never forgetting a memory of my life. After spending our evening in activities we went to our hotels and hit the hay.
Next morning was the day of departure to India, I didn’t want to go back and I wanted to enjoy and explore more but on the other hand I was missing the Indian food. I was emotional, happy and thankful as well , as I got to experience the vast cultures and customs of the USA. We had our flight in the afternoon. We said goodbye to our relatives in Las vegas and headed to the airport. We sat on our flights and reached home. The trip for me was about learning and exploring the world. I should always enjoy every moment.
