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 8: One In 6 & One In 4

 Another beautiful day in Hawaii!

 

Today we went to see some of the most incredible beaches in the world! We went to one of the only six black sand beaches in Hawaii and one of the world's only four green sand beaches. We drove along the coast of Hawaii, with a lot of ocean views! After driving to the black sand beach, we got out and felt the sand. It was HOT because the sand heats up due to the material the sand is made of. We didn't stick around much, but it was an exciting experience.

We continued along the road to get to the green sand beach. It's a long walk across rocky terrain to get to the green sand beach, but there are some people who you can pay to take you down to the beach for you. We took four seats and got in. The road was very bumpy, but it was worth it to get to see the beautiful view. Then, we walked down to the beach. There was only an ancient makeshift set of wood stairs and some tiny, roughed passageways. It was tough to get to the beach, but we touched the sand and went into the ocean after we got down. It was quite amusing, and the green was a dark/brownish-green.

It was tough to get back up. We had to get up on steel, sandy hill and this time, uphill! We left a towel at the beach because it was too hard to carry. Haha!

By this time, it was getting later in the day. The driver drove us back up, and then we started to drive back to our hotel. On the way, we found a macadamia nut farm with free mac-nut and coffee tastings. We stopped over and tasted some of the nuts, and we loved it so much we bought a few packs for us and to give to friends back at home.  

We continued our drive back to our hotel. We finally stopped at a Thai restaurant for dinner. Then got to our hotel for a good rest. Awesome day!

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 ...

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...
