Places I’ve Been
The first place I told I traveled to was the Caribbean, 1 month after I was born. I
spent 11 years of my life living on one 29-mile island. When I was just a few years old to
Guadalupe, a French Island to the north of Dominica. Then after that, around the age of 4,
I traveled to another French island of St. Martin where I vacationed for 1 week. One year
later, my aunt, unfortunately, passed away so I had to travel to Florida for her funeral, and
traveling out of state with a 5-year-old is not the best thing to do. Not to mention it was
the first time I would be away from my mom for a long period of time seeing as I
traveled with my other aunt. I remember waking up in the middle of the night sobbing for
my mom and to top that off I wasn't “mug trained” so I still needed a sippy cup, so we
had to go out in the morning to buy me a Lightning McQueen sippy cup. Oh, I also
remember during that trip I was on the road with my cousin, my aunt, and my cousin’s
husband and my cousin said: “Macky this is Miami, can you say Miami?” Thinking she
said My Ami, I responded “Fiza-Ami”. Oh hey I forgot about this, I was writing my other
freewrites, but I’ve been to Martinique, Guadalupe (again), Tortola, St. Martin (again)
Dominican Republic, Haiti, and St. Lucia on a 7 days cruise for my 8th birthday. I’ve
traveled to New York, Florida, and California. (Also future me if you’re reading this,
where else have you traveled to?)
