Day 5: Now we're Sevillians!

-
Today, we packed our bags, and we were off to Seville. We first walked to the train station and got past security pretty quickly. After that, we boarded the train. There was a big foldable table and a nice soft seat. We finished some work, ate a croissant, and played Candy Crush. Once we got off our train, we went to our very nice 4-floor apartment in downtown Seville. The first floor had an empty pool and a bedroom with a bathroom attached. The second floor had a full kitchen, a dining area, and a comfy living room. The third floor had three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The last floor had a washing machine and led to the terrace, which had beautiful views. After the apartment manager left us, we went for lunch and had pizzas and tapas. Afterward, we chilled out for a while and settled into our apartment (when we arrived, the cleaners were still cleaning the apartment). We then went for a little and had a yummy chocolate crepe with gelato. We also had a waffle with drizzled chocolate an

Day 1 - 2 Airplane Flights

-
Today the adventure begun with three flights: Austin to Philadelphia, then Philadelphia to Dubrovnik (A city in Croatia) and finally, Dubrovnik to Zagreb (Capital of Croatia).

The day got off the a great start! Check in and security was quick, and before you know it, we were on our flight to Philadelphia.

Next we got off at PHL International and we grabbed some food. Then we took our long flight to Dubrovnik. In was an overnight flight, from 6:20 PM Philadelphia’s time to 9:30 AM Dubrovnik’s time. It was long and we had dinner and breakfast on the flight. When we got our bags, we stayed at Dubrovnik Intl. until we hopped on another airplane to Zagreb. Finally, we spent the rest of the day at a hotel.

Check out some pictures of our flight:







Today (or rather two days) was crazy and tiring but fun at the same time. Tomorrow, a lake and a cake!

Day 1: Drive, Fly, Wait, Repeat

 Today was quite a long day! We went on two flights, drove for more than five hours, and had to go through lots of extra detours due to COVID-19. So, here’s how it started! We woke up early, around three o’clock in the morning, and finished packing all our bags. We were taking a total of four bags and four backpacks total, so we had a lot to carry! We loaded in all of our bags. Then, we tried to close the water supply to our house since our bathrooms have leaked once in the past during a vacation (the leak destroyed our wooden floor, and we had to replace it completely). Unfortunately, we weren’t able to close it, so we’re taking a risk on that part. We then drove around three hours to get to another city and then take a flight from Honolulu. We had already booked the parking spot, so we parked into the vast parking lot, took a picture of our car (so we knew where we parked), and took the shuttle into the airport. We had our boarding passes thanks to the online check-in, so we got

Day 1-2: One Destination, Two Days, Three Flights

-
November 16 was three days before thanksgiving break, but we're off anyway. We wanted to get our full two weeks of vacation in, given we didn't travel anywhere  this summer. So, we packed our bags and left school early. Our uncle and grandmother had left India first, and our aunt and uncle-in-law left second. We were the third and last party to leave our home and travel to Madrid, our first destination in Spain. Our flight itinerary would take us from Austin to Frankfurt, Germany, and then to Madrid. We took an Uber to the airport, where we easily made it through security. Once we made it through, we had an hour before we needed to board, so we decided to eat at The Peached Tortilla , an Asian fusion restaurant that serves tacos and rice bowls. We ordered the chicken tacos, the chicken rice bowl, and the cauliflower rice bowl. The food was truly amazing. There was a lot of rice, which definitely fueled us up for our flight. We then took the flight from Austin to Frankfurt. This

Day 3: Like a Raven on a Page in a book

-
Today we woke up and had a breakfast at the Yavpai Lodge. We soon checked out after getting our bags into our car. We saw the Canyon from Mather Point and then drove for a little bit to see the Desert View Watchtower. We stopped at multiple points on the way to admire the views. At Mather point we found a raven who looked really cool with the views, so we got some pictures and we were on our way. In the watchtower we learned about some of the Native American paintings on the wall and we climbed up 85 stairs to look at the view. My brother forgot his hat and I had to go all the way to fetch it! We also bought a small medallion with the Native American tribes that inhabit the Grand Canyon.   We left Grand Canyon National Park and were on our way to Page, AZ. On our way we saw sand dunes that surprisingly looked like rocks. At Page we checked into our Marriott, left our bags and drove to Horseshoe Bend. Page is famous for Horseshoe Bend and is a one and a half mile round trip. If
