¡¡WARNING!!: it's a VERY VERY VERY BERRY long post :/; take the risk if you want too.

Of my whole life for now :D! My first one was to Toronto,Canada. Second was in Wisconsin Dells. That was when I went with Angie's family w/Rosie&my sister. Now I'm going with totally different people, so it's kinda strange .__.

Anyways there was a total of 14 people in this whole road trip, that includes me&Rose. 3 families, and I'll name most of the people that is in there.

Firstly, where I was in was in my cousin's family. Chi Ngoc Luan, Anh Phat (her husband he works in Toyota, as one of the designer, yea cool I know xD), Andrew(7)&Tiffany(89) (their son&daughter). Me & Rose.

Second family is Anh Phat's Cousin (Who live in Montreal, QC), we call her Chi #2(standing in Viet is the oldest sister), Anh #2 (her husband), Sophie(20), Sylvie(14)&Wilson/Bao(12) (I don't know how to spell the sister's Viet name). They also have an older sister but she got married.

Lastly, Anh Phat's youngest brother (who picked me/Rose to drive to Anh Phat's house), we call him Anh Ut (saying in Viet is youngest), Chi Thao or Ut (his wife) & their daughter Be Thi/Anh(6~7) (she's the youngest in the group though :/).


The trip starts with me&Rose, waiting to be picked up from Anh Ut/Chi Thao (that time their daughter wasn't there since she was in Kentucky already) to go to Anh Phat's house. Which was an 6~8 hour drive to Kentucky, got there at 6PM (June 28th, 2009 - Sunday). Once we got their we were introduced with Chi #2's family. Chi Luan intro us to them, but not them to us, so was doing the cold shoulder. (yea first impression of my if you see me is I'll be cold to you xDD!). Also none of Chi #2's kids said 'Hi' so I didn't bother to say anything.

When I was just standing in Anh Phat's house, I can see that Sophie loves Andrew (like a type of suck-up so Anh Phat/Chi Ngoc Luan can like her) which she played the Wii with him. Sylvie she is cute, Andrew likes her lol, but she usually play w/ Tiffany; she doesn't hog with the kids all the time though. Wilson, well I didn't see him around a lot, but a decent kid, that likes to play with the other kids.

Rose&I slept in Tiffany's room to around 8PM that's when we ate and everything, then Be Thi came to Anh Phat's house bought by her parents. Around 10PM we watched a movie that was from Disney Channel call "Princess Protection Program" pretty cool. Watched till 12AM. Then slept in the living room. Rose slept with Tiffany&Be Thi on the floor, while I slept on the couch.

By 3ishAM, everyone woke up to get ready&started heading out for the 'real road trip'. We had 3 cars going for the three families I had listed above. The whole road trip took about 16~18 hours to Florida. My goal was to take the Welcome sign of each states, but sadly -- from my bad picture taking skill, I missed all of states xD!


OH, if you were wondering which states we passed by here's the list. Illinois ~> Indiana ~> Ohio ~> Kentucky ~> Tennessee ~> Georgia ~> Florida. Seven states total :D!

But the reason why I didn't take the pictures so well is because: (1) I slept through some, (2) Bad weather (like the rain), & lastly (3) the Welcome sign was too small. Out of all of the states, I think Ohio had the biggest welcome sign ^^!

When we were in the highway of Atlanta, Georgia; it was so pretty, cause they had trees/flowers growing in the highway hills; where I live is just grass&dry grass :/. Also I can see the buildings there, which was nice&they have those electric Ads board thing. Anyways, when we were in the border between Georgia&Florida, the storm started to happen, and yea... I missed the Florida Welcome sign xD!



Everyone was making a joke of me, because I'm a slow-poke -- missing all of the welcome sign, so before going to the Welcome sign of Disney World, Rose said "If Xiu misses taking the welcome sign of Disney, then we won't talk to her on that day". I know mean~~, but whatever =-="!

Once we got to our vacation home, located in Hampton Lakes, we stayed at the street Ballyshannon, 705 (please don't stalk us man, I just want to remember where I stay 8E!). I just Googled up the place&the rental fee is $1175/Week (yes I know that's a lot D:! AND WE STAYED THERE FOR 2 WEEKS -stretches face-). But the place is kinda cool. It have 3 master bed rooms (each contains a bathroom to themselves), & 2 small rooms (each room have 2 beds); an extra bathroom for the 2 small rooms, lastly we have our own private pool (I didn't like it though cause it was too small :X).





The next day which was a Tuesday, we have to go and buy the tickets, at discount places, it was all jumbled up with the couple stuff, since we have to be US citizens to buy the tickets (A VERY LONG LONG STORY), but in the end we got our tickets from the TimeShare thing. That's when we kids (all of the kids, me&Rose) waited for them to go back home, got to know Sylvie&Wilson abit more from that, while Sophie is trying to be one of the 'grown up' (you can see I sort of don't like Sophie; with the way she acts --she can be better ._.).



Wednesday: July 1st, 2009 - 9AM


Got the tickets, and we headed to Hollywood Studios (one of Disney World's theme parks). Yea, I know I thought all of the Disney World's theme parks are connected&we have to pay one time to get in all 7, but nope .___.; it's separate. That day it was drizzling rain, so some time we have to wear a rain coat. By noon it stopped&continue once again around 8PM.

It was pretty okkies :/. Most fun part out of Hollywood Studios, was we got to watch Beauty&the Beast's 30minutes Play, Indiana Jones Stunt Show, 3D show of the Muppet Show, & the ride of the Tower of Terror (yep yep ._. the Tower of Terror Dx). This building xD!

This is the version we went to -click-

It's pretty famous I think xD! I thought it was scary because lots of people say it's scary, which it was scary xDDD! But it's a ride where it's an elevator, you sit in it (they had chairs/seat belts)& first they have this scene of ghost (just like the picture that wiki showed). Then they ride to this dark room (where you can't see anyone); that's when you know the ride has begun xD!

To prepare myself I started screaming (yep I'm a chicken), it did about 4 drops/ up&down. Once it gone to a stop&back up, to go to this other room, I thought they will have the drops again, but nope it was the end of the journey -Thank Gah!-.



That was only the first fun day of this trip, I'll post more of the full details, later on xD!
