This week in library, we finished reading Roughing it On the Oregon Trail by Diane Stanley. We learned that the pioneers travelled 2,000 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon Country. The trip was slow-going and took 6 months by wagon! Think about the longest trip you have been on. How did you get to your destination (bike, car, plane)? What did you do for entertainment? How did you feel when you arrived?
The longest trip I have been away from home is in the summer I go to Maine for 7 weeks for camp it is a long time away from home. At first I get on a plane with no parents but I go with my 2 sisters,my cousin and one of my family friends. We fly from Houston,Texas all the way to Boston the get on a bus ride to Maine. My internment was coloring, talking, listening to music, crying, or playing a game on my I Pod. When I arrive at camp I am ,exited, happy, nervous, sad and I miss my parents a lot. Eventually i get use to being at camp and it feels better to be at camp after all.
ReplyDeleteBut after all I really want to thank my mom and dad for letting me be able to go to a summer camp and to travel such far from home and meet new and different kinds of friends.once again thank you so much mommy and daddy.

DeleteThe longest trip I ever took was coming home from my grandpa's house in Oregon last summer. There was a big plane crash in San Francisco so my flight was delayed for a long time and then it was cancelled! So we rented the very last rental car and drove for five hours to another city Then we spent the night in a hotel and then our family split up and took different flights to get home. Luckily I had my Itouch with me. I was so happy to finally make it home! And tired too! I can't imagine a six month trip or journey

DeleteMy longest trip out of town was when me and my family took a trip to park city, Utah we stayed there for a month for internment was playing my mom's iPad , read some book when we came back I was happy to be hame but I will always love park city!! BUT 6 months I've never done that!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't really gone on any long trips but my longest trip was probably the plane ride to California.(that's only around 3 or 4 hours.) It didn't seem very long though. I just read some books and things like that. When I arrived I felt like I had entered a whole different world! The airport was different and everything else. But I personally think that California is the most hot place that was ever created! I think it really hasn't gotten to experience below 60 recently. We set our things down at the hotel and then I felt super exited because after that we got to see my baby cousin at the park with my baby brother!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed my post,

The trip that took me longest was the trip from Houston to China. The plane ride is 14 hours long and there are 2 plane rides too!!! We stayed there for 3 weeks. It is not only the longest trip I have been on, it is also the farthest from Houston. My sister and I would go to a "park" where you can jog and where you can climb these cow statues! There were also little kid-like exercising machine that were fun to ride. After I get to China I feel very weary after those long plane rides, but happy to finally be in China!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy longest trip was from Houston to Watercolor, Florida we drove there and it took 10 hours! I had my ipod and a DVD player to watch movies. When I got there I was so relived because it was so boring but I still hope we can go there again but fly there.
ReplyDeleteThe longest trip I have ever taken was when we went to Florida by car and it took 9 hours. I played on my iPad I did needle point and I watched a movie. I felt so good when we got there to just stretch my legs out.
ReplyDeleteI'm also super happy when I can stretch my legs out after a long car ride.
DeleteThe longest trip I take is my drive to Tennessee. My mom lets us use ipads and iphones. When we get there my lower region is sweaty because the car is HOT! I run around in circles to stretch.
ReplyDeleteMy longest tripI have ever taken was to Bozeman, Montana. It is 1,722 miles from Houston. Thankfully we took a plane from Houston to Denver and then Denver to Bozeman. We took . We always go with the Walters. We go every other year. You can fish,hike,camp out and many others.
ReplyDeleteThe longest trip I've ever taken is my trip to London it took 22 hours on the plane. My entertainment was my I touch, Movies, Sisters and my mom's computer! when I got there it felt so good to finally be off the small plane.
ReplyDeleteThe longest trip that I have taken was to Destin, Florida. It took 10 hours to get their by car. My entertainment was my DVD player to watch movies on. When we finally arrived I was so relived to get out of the car because I wasn't abele to move around.
ReplyDeleteThe longest amount of time it took me to get to a destination is two days. My family does that almost every summer in a car going to Gerton, North Carolina! I hate it! It's torture having to sit in a car all day, but, imagine doing it for 180 days with no car, just walking!!! I, personally would hate to go on the Oregon trail for that reason but, I would also like to travel there. My entertainment in the car part was my book, my sister, my brother, another book, and my iPad. I feel bad for all those pioneers with barely anything that we absolutely like a lot like electronics and all of that stuff. Another thing that kept me occupied was my dvd player. Once we finally get there I'm always so relieved because it was totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading

It's also 1,015 miles from here to there. I forgot to say that.
