My memorable India trip

A trip is a period of time to relax, a period of time used for one self. I really enjoy trip because at that time I didn’t think about school or work.

 I came to United States after I got married in 2008 and didn’t get a chance to visit India after so long, so I was really excited for my first trip back to India after marriage. My husband and I planed our trip during the Christmas holidays, so we both could go together. We were so excited to see our families, friends and relatives after two years. The purpose of our trip to India was not only to see our families and friends, but also to attend my brother’s wedding. So I was double excited for the vacation and my trip.

It was around 4 am morning and still they all wanted to talk to me, but as I was so tired and sleepy that I did not have the energy to talk with them. So after we reached home I took a shower and went to bed for a couple of hours.
