LAST DAY!!!!!!!!

Today was bitter sweet. The sweet part was of course Epcot and having adventure with everyone but the bitter part was knowing that this is the last day that all of us will have together. We went on a lot of cool rides, this park is more of an learning experience, a lot more rides with movies. I really enjoyed the ride called SOAR, you fly over california and you are very high but it feels like you are really there! Also i like the Space mission! So crazy, you can pick which mission is best for you. There is a less advanced(for babies) or more advanced(for me) haha. It was SO COOL you actually feel G force on the ride, crazy feeling.

 Later we went to the countries. One minute i was in Norway eating chocolate and the next minute I was in Germany eating a bratwurst! Haha so funny when my friends would call and say "Hey where are you, im in Japan?" and I said, " Oh cool ill be there in 5 minutes Im in France, haha. Feels likes you are actually there! Even the people work in the countries are from there and speak the language! So neat, but i wish they had Russia or Ireland or Brazil!!!

 After we ate all around the world we met up with some more fabolous friends of ours and we watch the huge firework show! IT WAS AWESOME!!!! The fireworks were huge and in the middle of the lake, where the show was there was a huge earth and it was glowing! WOW. After the show we went on the bus.

6/15/12 FRIDAY

 Today  was jammed packed and full of fun! We headed on the bus from the hotel early today because we had a YES program tour at Animal Kingdom then we had to go to Hollywood Studios after! So when we reached Animal Kingdom we met our tour guides and learned a lot about making a community and preserving wildlife. We got to go on their newest ride called EVEREST it was crazy! You go backwards! Then we got SOAKED and I mean SOAAAKED at the rapid river ride. It felt good being how hot it was outside. Then we went on a dinosaur ride and our monitor Alex got so scared she hid from the dinos and we have a picture of her scared! She was the only one haha, what a baby! We laughed so hard. After the tour we had some free time and I grabbed some lunch in "Asia", some yummy Thai food.

 Time to leave for Hollywood Studios! Ok so all I really want to tell you is that Rockin Rollercoaster is the best ride on the universe! You go from 0 to 100 mph. The whole time you are flipping and dropping in the dark as Aerosmiths music blasting in your ear! What could be better? Then we went to the spooky tower of terror! This elevator drops 13 stories, it was so cool!

 Later we saw some shows and ate dinner I had a cheeseburger it was really tasty. We all met up to see the last show called ," Fantasmic " I never saw a show this huge! I was so impressed, it was a water/firework show, simply amazing. So its time for bed now and tomorrow is Epcot! Everyone is getting pretty sad because its our last day tomorrow :(

6/14/2012 MAGIC KINGDOM!!




WHOA!!! We have arrived in Orland and Holy Mickey mouse its HOT! We all woke up very excited and eager to reach The Magic Kingdom, where dreams come true! When we arrived we all took a train called the monorail, that takes us from the parking lot to the park. It was so cool. As soon as I reached inside the park It took my breathe away. Everyone was so happy, singing ,dancing , laughing. We walked through Cinderella’s castle and did you know NOT ONE brick is in that castle? Crazy. The first ride we went one was splash mountain. We wanted to get wet because it was hot outside. This ride is awesome, you sit in a log and drop so high and get wet! After that we went on Space Mountain it was so fast and all in the dark! Then we decided It was time for some ice cream to cool us down. When we ate out snacks we went to the haunted mansion! OMG that was pretty scary, but funny because at the end you look at this mirror and in the mirror it shows a ghost sitting next to you, super cool. 


  Later we had lunch Adventure land, where Pirates of the Caribbean ride is, pretty fun ride! Then we went on the tea cup rides and spun around and around and around and around and…oh, AROUND! After I almost threw up (jk) We went to meet Tici, Alex, and Leslie for our dinner tickets. We met up with them and they looked more excited than us to be there, such kids :P We ate dinner at a pizza place it was delicious.  So after all that we all met up and watch the castle light show. All I can say is… wow. I have never seen anything like that before. The show was filled with lights, music, pictures, dancing, a parade and last but not least huge FIREWORKS! And not like one or two…like 30 fireworks! Even one shaped like a heart, so cool.










  We  then got on the bus back to the hotel to go to bed. I am so tired but so excited for tomorrow. Tomorrow is Animal Kingdom in the morning and then Hollywood Studios. Alex(monitor) wont stop talking about this ride called, the rockin rollercoaster. She says its her favorite and we are going to go on it all together tomorrow! I am so happy  :)

6/13/2012 TUESDAY

Today was like a dream. Am i still sleeping on the fabulous bus? If so don't wake me up because i am having the time of my life! So when we got to the beach it was raining:( I was so sad, but we all decided to stay and see if it would clear. Guess what? IT DID! All of a sudden the sun appeared and we all screamed for joy! We swam in the ocean, played soccer, played volleyball, walked around the boardwalk, and sun bathed. I had such a relaxing and wonderful day with everyone. I cant believe this trip will end! I don't want it too!

Cruising on the Fabulous bus to Myrtle Beach!

We woke up ready for the beach! It was time for the sand between our toes and the salt water on our skin. The bus drove us all the way to Myrtle beach. I slept the whole ride so i don't really remember anything, but i heard that i missed some awesome movies and good music. The hotel is very nice, we got to swim before bed too! Glad Alex and Tici joined us at the pool, we tried to push Alex in but she was too fast for us:) Well tomorrow we are spending all day at the beach, i should go to bed.




THE POOL WAS AWESOME!!!!
WAKY WAKY JOHANNES!!


We love Myrtle Beach!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOOHHOOOO!


SUNDAY 6/10/12




Today was wonderful! As soon as I woke up I got breakfast and sat with my friends. I had two cups of coffee, the hotel has Starbucks! When we arrived in D.C. and met with our tour guide, Ciceila. She took us all around Washington D.C. We went to the White house, The capitol, The Jefferson memorial, The Vietnam memorial, the world war II memorial , and my favorite the Lincoln memorial! Then we got lunch at the Smithsonian museums, but while everyone ate their lunch there I had other lunch plans at the white house with President Obama. Haha, yeah right. After lunch (I had a delicious sandwich) we got on the bus and finished our tour. We had to say our goodbyes to Ciceila and HELLO to shopping in Georgetown. There is so many shops there I loved it. Later, we had dinner at a BBQ place called, "Old Glory" and I just have one complaint about it... It was too good for me to want to stop eating! YUM! Well tomorrow is a big day, we are headed to Myrtle Beach and I want to go swimming at the pool so goodnight until next time everyone!

Nickol- BOLIVIA 















Such a hot day in D.C. but wow did I learn a lot about Washington D.C. I really was excited to see the White house, smaller than I expected but beautiful. We walked all around and got lunch a the Smithsonian's ,I went to the Air and Space museum and the Natural history museum. I think my favorite was the Natural history museum, I love dinosaurs and they had an awesome bug exhibit. After lunch it was time to see the Lincoln memorial and other memorials! We saw the Martin Luther king memorial the newest one, I really enjoyed seeing that one. Then  it was time to shop in Georgetown. Afterwards we went to dinner, very yummy and a lot of food. Its time for bed now, I am so tired and ready for tomorrow!
