Today is our last day in Puerto Rico. Our plane departs from Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport in Old San Juan and arrives to N at 200 p.m at Gate B. However, we must drop our rental car off first before going to the airport. I hope and pray that there are no delays or cancellations. My mom and I had a once in a lifetime trip to Puerto Rico. Before boarding our flight back to New, we had to drop-off the car at Priceless Rental. Then, we took a shuttle bus to the airport. Anyone who goes to Puerto will have to pay all kinds of hidden taxes,even at the airport, we were charged an additional $130.00 for overnight luggage.

For instance, my mom’s luggage was 15 lbs. overweight, so she had to pay an additional $80.00, and I had to pay an additional $46.00 for being only 5 lbs.overweight. The people were really genial and respectful. Next year, I am wondering if I should take another trip to a faraway place such as Spain, Jamaica, or Canada. I can’t wait to show my classmates all the wonderful pictures and souvenirs that I brought back from Puerto Rico. We brought back so many memorabilia such as Puerto rican t-shirts, scarfs, flags, hats, and many other souvenirs from Old San Juan, Arecibo, Mayaquez, Ponce, Cabo Rojo, and Isabela, and it was a great feeling of adventure we pass through Bayamon, Lares, San German, Florida, and Carolina.

If I ever return to Puerto Rico, I plan to visit Yunque, which was one of tropical rainforests that my mom and I did not visit. We finally arrived at New York’s Guardia Airport at about 6:30. It was a fantastic flight with not too much turbulence from possible thunderstorms.

Traveling to Puerto Rico was one of my goals before graduating from junior high. While I was leaving Puerto Rico, I was informed on Facebook that my best friend, Justin had just arrived with his parents. Wow! I was flabbergasted when he texted me that he was flying in to Puerto Rico. I will surely contact him to let him know about many of the places that I visited. He must try to practice his Spanish, because it was so difficult to keep him with how fast the natives speak it.

There is a lot of slang used in the streets. I happened to notice while at the theater looking at a sign that read “”Pa aquii” o” pa llevar”, which should have been written “Para aquii or para llevar,” The English translation for this jingo is “Do you want to eat it here?, or do you want carry-out?.”
