Fantasy Trip

So,  am headed of!  I told my parents I was going to Nebraska for college. Which wasn't easy to convince them at first ! But, my plan was to take this journey already! So, they agreed to my decision, of going to "Nebraska University." But, in reality am not going there, is just a excuse so they don't get as worried. Since we don't live together anymore,  they don't have to be behind my back! Am going to Frasier Island ! Beautiful Island in Australia. However, am not traveling like a normal person does. Am going on my what so called "Fantasy Trip." I always dreamed to go far away and travel on my own ,like this guy in this book  i once read who was a tramp! No, guys! not a hoe! A guy that went from place to place ! Which really inspired me to do that once i was grown. Which i am now.

I've decided to head the long way to Australia. I thought it would be a greater experience! So i come from Plainfield, NJ. Boring old Plainfield. Lived here all my life. So you know am excited to get out of here. Its May 26, and i plan to take atleast 5 months on this journey. I have a friend, and his dad owns yachts and all types of water-mobiles (not sure if its a word). But yeah , so my pal said he would lend me one. So , its the day , and i drove all the way to Newark to get my boat. I was going to travel  all the Atlantic ocean to get to Barcelona, Spain. Well at least that's my plan.

Settled in my boat already , its a very big,white, and fancy boat! Just the way i like it! Brought alot of clothes with me! Cant leave that behind. SO if you guys didn't know , am going to be conducting the boat. Yes, i do know how to drive a boat. Took lessons in my senior year (advantages of having a rich friend ).

Wow...........what a beautiful moon thats out here. Hearing the sound of the waves hitting back and forth and just laying on the floor of the boat and just observing, the beautiful full moon. So , apparently  i feel asleep watching the moon last night, and all thats waking me up today is the beaming of the sunlight  I headed to check what time it was ... 10:23 am .....checked my GPS.....i have travelled just 100 miles across, still 1000 more to go. 3 weeks later........FINALLY! Made it to barcelona, spain! i was getting a little sick of the water already. I headed to a restaurant near by, and yummmmmmmm...was that meal not good? As i was walking out of the restaurant i hear someone call my name " Erica, Erica ."   I look back a couple of times, but who knows me here ? "Erica!" I turn around and see that is a long time friend i havent seen in years that apparently had live in barcelona! "Hey, erica " he said. "hi, roberto " I replied  "what brings you here?" he questioned. " oh nothing just traveling around,"  I exclaimed "roberto, nice to see you but am in a rush. "okay , hope u enjor your trip " he replied. I ran and headed to the train station. i was going to India now. I grabbed my ipod and started makin voice notations. Observed their type of people, train station, and environment. Wish i would have stayed longer but i cant. am very short limited on my time.


WOAHHHHHH!!! got to india , and all i can say is am mind blown .....it look VERY VERY different from all i have seen so far. Its amazing , all the people look so humble and very nice, However , there is somethings that is bothering me. As i walk these streets i smell lots and lots of curry. But , besides that its just so unique. I immidiatly took my camera out and took lots of pictures !

Couldnt stay long in India either ...headed of to the boat port. My final destination was coming ! Frasier Island here i come! Its been 3 months so far, just as i planned. The ocean currents throughout this area were very harsh. I was a little scared, but i had to be positive. 1 month later .......FINALLYYY!!!!! AM HEREEE!! i landed in frasier island atlast !!!! Oh paradiseeeee!!!! As soon as i got there i just set my hamet up and relaxed, slept all night long, and woke up to the beautiful view od the crystal clear water. AHHHHH!!!!! how amazinggg is thisss!!! i completed my journey with no stuggle and in paradise !!!!
