eight-seater to daytona

yesterday was another unforgettable day. or an afternoon rather. after only a couple hours of sleep, and waking up in the same clothes from the night before, i was feeling quite lazy but still in the mood to do anything and everything. i got a call from my friends saying to be ready in an hour because we were renting a jeep and going back to daytona. of course i willingly accepted the challenge, got ready in the speed of light and met them up. we rent to the car rental place, piled in the suv and made our way to daytona (after of course finally making that decision after about a hundred other suggestions were made, because it is more difficult for eight people to come to one decision than you would think.) the road wasn't as empty as the last time we went, and the ride took longer with the traffic, but it didn't feel that way, because we were content with each others company the whole way there. when we got there, we learned from our mistake last time, and parked in the paid parking lot and headed down to the beach. there were tons of people, granted it was a beautiful day instead of the stormy weather we went in last time, but we found a perfect spot for the eight of us on the beach. we set up our towels all next to each other and within minutes everyone was sleeping. it didn't matter that we weren't doing all the rides on the boardwalk and going in the sea and doing everything we possibly could. we were just there, together and that's all that mattered. after we woke up, we went in the sea, just around sunset and it was so nice. after that, we decided to go get some dinner. we drove to steak and shake (very high class of us, i know.) we spent the entire time there laughing and laughing. to me, one of the most treasurable moments is sitting around a table with people you love just chatting and happily enjoying the company, so it was really wonderful. after dinner we decided to go to downtown orlando, and it was the first time i had ever been there. it was beautiful. all the lights and trees and buildings were so pretty. everyone walking around the streets going in and out of clubs and bars were dressed up, ready to party. the eight of us looked like beach rats, but we didn't even care. we went to downtown orlando to go to a specific bar to drink a specific drink. apparently on fridays, they do something different, and block off the whole street and charge people to just be on that one street. we would have paid the money, but they had a rule that you had to be over twenty one. of course, me being the baby, couldn't go. the boys were going to drop me home and meet the girls back later, but on our way to the car, they called back and said they wouldn't accept their mexican id's so they had to go home and get their passports anyway. so they all drove me home, and even though i was sad to leave my friends because i knew they were still liming all night, i didn't care all that much because i had just had another beautiful day with them.

today i woke up at my own time. i probably would have died if i set an alarm. i met up with aunty serena and family at epcot and travelled around the world with them. it was nice to be with family, especially because they're my family., and i truly have the best family in the entire world. we went to all my favourite places - italy for lunch, paris for tea and england for dinner. after dinner, because we were at the right restaurant at the right time, we had a special vip viewing of the fireworks. it was absolutely beautiful as usual. everytime i watch the fireworks it gives me a different feeling - something i will definitely miss, among everything else. the time is drawing nearer, and the closer it comes, the more difficult it becomes for me to comprehend, and the more emotional i feel. i can't believe it.
