My Trip to Turkey

                 I woke up and I couldn't be happier since I know that I will experience another fantastic day. My mother suggested we try the hotel's restaurant for breakfast since she'd been craving Turkish borek, something she always tries to make at home, but never quite gets right. This time we were trying it in a 5-star hotel. We went down to the hotel's restaurant, but the line was so long, so it took time. This was where my dad pointed out as a flaw the hotel could address.   When we finally were first in line, we directly put some a borek slice on the plate. After we were done, we decided to share our comments. My dad had no comments, he found it really good.

The next day, specifically when we left the house and got into the car, my mom decided to take us for one last ride before we arrived at the airport. I shut down my iPad and decided to admire the view through the window.    Once we arrived at the airport and got into the plane, the pilot informed us that our flight to Turkey will take 2 hours. With that, our adventure had officially begun.                                 The plane that led us to Turkey.
