We all got up early and got dressed quickly. And then we went to the airport by bus. We went back home on a very big plane. On the plane I sat with Linda and my dad. Dad was in the middle and I was by the window, so I could see everything. Junior was behind us. I played with Linda for a while and then went to sleep.
When we got off the plane, it was very cold. We had to put on our warm colthes. We also had to hold hand baggage (托着行李) on the way home, because we brought back so many things.
