Snippet #1488384

Ayumi was one big bundle of excitement, she could hardly contain herself. She was used to long plane trips, every Summer she went to visit the rest of her family in Japan for three weeks. It was her first time going to Brazil though, and she couldn't have been happier that she got to go with all of her friends. It was a much better idea than going to the dry, uninteresting Grand Canyon. Yumi kept her eyes glued to the little window and constantly shoved handfuls of Mike & Ike's in her mouth until their destination was visible below. The girl adjusted the big white bow on her head and nearly mowed people down on her way through the airport. At the baggage claim she grabbed all of her luggage, two large, neon pink suitcases on wheels and two smaller bags. She had practically packed her entire room and bought it with her. Sadly, she couldn't bring Twitch, her beloved pet hamster. He had to sit this adventure out.

"Oh my gosh we're actually here I can't believe it!" Everything was just as she had imagined it, bright, hot weather, clear skies, tourist everywhere, and the sweet aroma of some unknown treat? Not far from the group was a small sweet shop selling chocolately brigadeiros and Yumi made no attempts to overcome the temptation. Not even five minutes later she was eating away at her treat and brushing sprinkles off of her floral-print tank top. She certainly didn't need anymore caffeine in her system, but they were officially on vacation so who cared? Once they were able to get outside Yumi put on a pair of pink heart-shaped glasses and searched for their transportation.

"Oh I see it!" Luggage in hand, Ayumi stepped halfway out in the road to stop the shuttle from leaving them. She flashed the driver a smile and waved at him apologetically. It wasn't the best way to catch him, but hey it worked. She managed to squeeze into a seat, despite how much space her bags took up, and happily waited for the rest of her friends to board. They weren't staying anywhere fancy like you saw on TV, but she didn't really care. They were lucky enough to go on the trip at all, as long as there weren't roaches having parties in her bed she wouldn't complain. After some minutes of short travel the bus stopped infront of a five-story hotel-their final destination. Yumi got up and exited the shuttle, in a much less hectic manner than at the airport, and went inside. The lobby was nice, tropical plants everywhere, the scent of ocean water wafting through the air, and friendly staff-members with smiles on their faces.

"Hi there," Ayumi returned the woman's genial expression with a smile of her own," I have one standard room under Narukama." She handed the woman her ID and a pre-paid Visa card her parents were generous enough to supply her with for the trip. The female handed Ayumi two room keys and directed her towards the elevator. Satisfied she turned back to her friends. "Looks like we lucked up, we're on the fifth floor. There's two full-sized beds in the room so us girls will have to share, but that's okay right?" She held the other room key out in front of her," which of you wants this one?" As soon as they got the chance to put their stuff away Ayumi was going to throw on her swim suit and hit the beach.
