Dream Vacation

“Good night, by the way, we are going to the Joneses’ house tomorrow for dinner” my mom whispered to me.

“Good night, see you in the morning,” I replied.

“You have good dreams’ now, Ok,” she told me as she was walking away.

“Ok.”

I lay there, thinking about what would be fun to dream about tonight. Should I fly or travel time. I know, what about a vacation somewhere that I could do or have anything that I wanted…………………..

“Can I take you luggage?” a young man with black hair asked.

“Please and thank you,” I said. The man walked off, across the bridge and into the 1,100 foot cruise ship. I stared, mesmerized by the immensely big ship. ‘Freedom of the Seas’ was printed along the side of the ship in rainbow colors. Black dots scattered the side of the ship some had people staring out of them, watching the oncoming tourists. I started the long walk from the bridged elevated a hundred feet above the ground. The bridge was clear glass; it was like you were walking on air.

“Can I have your ID?” the man in white sailor clothes asked.

“Oh, what is this for?” I asked as I pulled out this credit card shaped like thing; it had printed the boats name and its cruise ship company, Luxury Liners.

“It’s is used as a room key and shows you room number, it will be also used for extra stuff you buy to be billed to you account. Since you won the contest on the radio you won’t need to worry about the cost of anything.

He then swiped my card and a ding-dong noise sounded and my picture came up.

“Thank you,” I said as he handed it back to me.

I went through a security check, and passed some advertisement, wanting me to buy cups or hats with the name of the cruise ship on it. I looked my card to see where I would be saying. ‘Suite 1,’ sweet, a suite. I laughed to myself for the joke I made. I looked around to find a sign showing the location of my suite. Ahaw, I followed the directions to get to my suite. I found it and swiped my card. I pushed the door open, WOW! I couldn’t believe my eyes; I blinked a couple times to see if my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. The ground was glass with water underneath. The walls were splattered with every color that existed. I had a queen bed to myself, no more sharing with my brother. “Ah” I screamed as a fish appeared below my feet. One by one, more and more, appeared they were yellow with a silver stripes along their back.

“Knock, Knock, Knock”

“Who is it?”

“Room service.”

“Come in.”

“I have you bags and I wanted to see if you are comfortable,” a tall man that looked like he was in his 40’s and had dark brown hair.

“I am fine,” I replied.

“That is great, I will be cleaning you room twice a day once at 10:00 AM and once while you are at dinner. If you have any questions or concerns, please, let me know. What is your name?”

“Travis, why.” I asked.

“I am going to label your door ‘Travis’s Room.”

“Ok thanks for brining my luggage up here.”

“No problem,” he said as he was walking out of the room.

“Wait, where is the men’s room?”

“Go straight down the hallway and turn left you can’t miss it.”

What should I do now; I grabbed the map and looked for anything that looked interesting. H2O zone, now that sounds fun. I dug though my suitcase and found my swimming suite. I rushed out the door, and followed the directions on the map to the 14 floor and found the H2O zone. WOW! It was amazing. The ceiling was glass so it could be used during bad weather but still let the heat from the sun to get through. There was a water fall coming from the balcony of the H2O zone. There was this colorful seahorse looking thing in the middle spraying water in every direction. Soft, squishy, blue, matting covered the floor, so it wouldn’t hurt walking across it in bare feet. One pool was a basketball court but covered with water, another pool looked like you could play water polo. There was a huge lazy river with the current flowing really fast. 3 water slides ranging from beginner to expert. I played in the H2O zone for the rest of the day. My hand and feet were wrinkled so bad that it looked like I went through a time machine and turned into an old grandpa. I cantered along the ship admiring all the things that are possible to do, weight rooms bigger that my house, dining rooms with 4 levels, and an crystal chandelier, lounges with top of the line leather furniture, casinos, (I didn’t really pay too much attention to those) the game room with 10 pool tables, 10 air hockey, 10 ping pong tables and many more arcade games, and the main room in the center of the ship. That was so cool; the glass roof hundreds of feet above me. You could see all the floors of the ship, 8 elevators surrounded the perimeter of the room. I fell asleep very fast that night, I was exhausted. I wanted to skip the night so I could explore and play more the next day.

“Ding…..dong…….ding…….dong,” my alarm sounded.

“Nnnnnnnnooooooooo,” I cried “it was just getting good.”
