¨Beep,beep,beep,¨ the alarm clock buzzed loudly at sunrise on a beautiful Saturday morning. I groaned because my mom set it thirty minutes early. I quickly got out of bed and brushed my teeth after drinking some milk and eating breakfast.

In a few minutes something unexpected happened,something that changed my life completely.

After doing my morning routine I went out the door and picked up a package from SUMRVP:The  Staggeringly Ultimate Magic Rug Vacation Pack.

¨Mom,¨I yelled ¨There is a package from SUMRVP!¨

¨Who is SUMRVP.”

“If SUMRVP is real I should not tell my mom about it,”I thought.So i replied “Never mind.”I was lucky my mom did not insist.Later that day I snuck out the door,brought the package inside , and opened it.What I found inside changed my life completely.I gasped of surpise.There was a note and a small rug inside the package.Ont he note there was a poem. “Take me far, take me wide.I shall give you a magic ride.Three destinations will unlock your me, And you will go free of fee.This magic rug will fly as high as the sky fills your heart with some mega art.-SUMRVP,”The note read.It took me a while to interpret the poem’s message because the poem was horrible but eventually I figured it out . I was undecided about my three destinations so I did some research and Figured out that Kyoto,Japan had a very good scenery and a lot of historical temples,shrines, and pavilions.I also loved to eat sushi so Japan was a thumbs up for me.My second destination was going to be Helsinki, Finland due to its beautiful scenery and food.Mt final destination was going to be Bonaire in the Bahamas because of its amazing snorkeling and diving sites.So off I went after packing up and leaving a note to my parents about the magic rug.

It was a long but quiet, peaceful,and scenic journey.When I finally arrived at Kyoto I called a taxi to take me to hotel Okura the taxi driver named Rodman said he was going there too for a business meeting. “Rodman,”I asked “can you pretend to be my parent at the hotel so I can get in.”Then I filled Rodman in about the whole magic rug thingy.

“Sure,”Rodman replied which relieved me of one of my worries.I was surprised he agreed because he barely knew me.When we got to the hotel I checked into a room and bunked there for the night.The next morning I took a shower then asked rodman to take me to the golden pavilion,Kinaku-Ji.I was happy that Rodman agreed.We took a long ride and on the way I had many conversations with Rodman.when we finally arrived at Kinaku-Ji we went on a tour of the golden shrine.We had a long ride but the beautiful and once in a life-time scenery totally made up for it. When we were finished viewing Kinaku-Ji we went to a restaurant and bought some scrumptious  and aromatic sushi.We sat down and had a long dinner peaceful dinner.When we were finished eating we checked back into hotel Okura and we both had a good rest.The next morning I was ready to leave for my second destination which was Bonaire in the Bahamas.I quickly left to Bonaire after thanking Rodman for all his help.

“No prob,”Rodman replied to me and off I went on the second part of my journey.

I had a very long journey but I did not realize because I dozed off in a few minutes.After I landed I called a taxi to drive me to Bellafonte hotel.Then I immediately got my beach supplies and called a taxi to drive me to the snorkeling site,Karpata.I quickly rented some snorkeling gear and jumped into the water.I had a fun time spending the rest of the day snorkeling. I explored the amazing coral formations and the diverse and unique variety of fish that lived there.I was sad when I had to go back to the hotel because the stars were twinkling against the black night sky while my back lay on the warm waters of Bonaire.It was my best sornkeling expirience yet.When I returned to Bellafonte hotel I had a good nights sleep because I knew I had another long day ahead of me.The next morning I quickly left for Helsinki via the magic rug.And off I flew.

The Journey to Helsinki reminded me of Bonaire because of the seemingly endless waters.When I arrived at Helsinki I called another taxi driver and checked into Hotel Granvia and went to sleep after the long day of traveling.The next day I woke up and ate breakfast then immediately left to visit Suomenlinna,the sea fortress of the 18th century.When I arrived there I had a 5-6 hour tour. I had to walk a lot but the beauty of the natural scenery especially at sunset brought tears to my eyes.Soon I knew I had to leave Suomenlinna which was my last destination so I checked back into Granvia Hotel and left for home.

When I returned home my parents were steaming mad at me for leaving on such a long journey without their approval but I decided to keep the magic rug in my cupboard for a possible future trip this time with my parents.
