In this essay, I will be naming the highlights and lowlights of traveling. I will talk about hotels, food, airlines, sightseeing, and different languages.
Some hotels we have been in were awesome. The hotel in London was, by far, the most “fancy pants” one we have stayed at. We had an Irish doorman, a Russian maid who gave us chocolates, an awesome pool, and outstanding WiFi. The two runners-up were Gabriella’s (in Sicily) and the apartment we are in right now (in Seville). I’ll start with Gabriella’s. First off: amazing housing, great pool, tons of lizards, lemon groves, pigs, cows, a rooster that crows a lot, hens, geese, and most of all – the food. The food was UNBELIEVABLE! Each bite tasted like it was fresh out of heaven. It started with homemade pasta, followed by some meat, then dessert. The place we are in now has more modern stuff: WiFi, a washing machine, lots of space, and AC.
Some airlines have awesome stuff, too. I have been on many airlines. My favorite so far is, without a doubt, British Air. Their service was amazing. The movie they showed on our overnight flight was Megamind…in English. Our meal was great too: roast beef with mashed potatoes and veggie soup. Air Berlin was nice, too. It showed Looney Tunes on the TV and had pretzels filled with butter.
There are some things that are not very enjoyable about travel. Some hotels and airlines are not fun. Once place we stayed had stone walls like we were in jail, plus a poisonous water supply. Language is also a pain. Most people don’t know what it is like to be unable to read anything or understand anything while you travel.
My Top Ten favorite sites, so far:

I will conclude by saying that, overall, I have had a great time. I still can’t wait for the rest of it. I am currently in Seville, Spain. Next, we go to Avignon, France.
