Just what was Islands of Adventure anyway? It was P R „ 3, „ P R R I ^ ............. .... UJ
wise freedom, i aw pleased lo have joined my classmates and friends on May nth, where we spent the day exploring one
of Orlando's many enjoyable theme parks. From riding the Dueling Dragons, Tlte Hulk, Spiaerman. Jurassic park, D r.
Seuss and many more, Islands of Adventure was truly spectacular. The trip consisted of a 3 hour bus ride to Orlando,
taking pictures, and preparing ourselves for the awesome day ahead. The check-in times - oh boy! We met at the H u lk at 3
different times of the day to make sure we were all present. We rode various rides estimating how long each ride would take
until the next check-in time. Occasionally, we would meet up w ifli another group of friends, and once or twice, we ended up on
the same ride together. The journey back seemed shorter. Some students changed into T-sh irt souveniers, some slept and others
watched the movies playing on the screens hanging form the ceiling of the Greyhound bus. It was a memorable experience that
we, the eighth graders, now leave to the seventh graders and hope that they w ill have as much fun as we did.
