My wonderful vacation!!!

Privet vsem! Ya hochu napisat' kak nachalis' moi zamechatel'nye i luchwie kanikuly s Work and Travel. Nachnu s togo , kak ya vyletala iz Almaty po avialinii KLM. Menya provodili roditeli, rodstvenniki i druz'ya. No poka ya ne chuvstvovala, chto sobirayus' vpervye uletat' tak daleko za okean, v stranu svoei mechty. K etomu ya shla ochen' dolgo i uporno, tak chto reshila ne ostanavlivat'sya. My proshli vse proverki v aeroportu. Ya poznakomilas' so mnozhestvo studentami, u kotoryh byla edinaya mechta, interesno i nezabyvaemo provesti eti kanikuly, uluchshit' angliiskii yazyk, poznakomit'sya s lyud'mi, priobresti druzei, zhiznennyi opyt i opyt v rabote, a samoe glavnoe uvidet' mir svoimi glazami i stat' samosoyatel'nym... Stol'ko vozmozhnostei v odnoi poezdke!!! Itak my seli na samolet, mne ochen' ponravilos' obsluzhivanie, mne dali kartu obsluzhivanya i ya napisala, chto menya vse ustraivaet i mne hotelos' by snova poletet' po etoi avialiii. I vot ya vizhu iz illyuminatora chto my podnimaemsya v nebo, ya vizhu stranu izdaleka, belye oblaka. Ya nikogda ne dumala, chto letat' na samolete tak legko, prosto i ochen' udobno. My vsyu dorogu obshalis' so studentami, ne zametili kak vremya proletelo. My prizemlilis' v Amsterdam, byli v Aeroportu 3 chasa, i vyleteli v N'yu-Iork navstrechu k mechtam!!! N'yu-Iork mne ochen' ponravilsya, megapolis ogromnyi, tak mnogo lyudei. K vecheru vezde byli yarkie ogni i prozhektora. 1 den' my nochevali v hostele i kupili bilet do Ocean City Maryland v Grey Hounde. Na sleduyushii den' nas vstretil rabotadatel' i my ustroilis' ochen' horosho. Seichas ya rabotayu, po vyhodnym hodim na plyazh, znakomimsya s lyud'mi i priobretaem druzei, mozhno skazat' so vsego mira! Kogda ya vpervye uvidela ocean, u menya byli bezgranichnye chuvstva i emocii, plesk vody, shum voln, morskoi briz- vse eto delalo okruzhayushii mir eshe prekrasnee! Ya polyubila etot gorod, ego lyudei, ptic, prirodu, ocean i zaliv. Rada, chto reshila provesti kanikuly imenno zdes' i imenno po etoi programme, kotoroe daet bezgranichnye vozmozhnosti studentam so vsego mira! Spasibo, roditelyam, kotorye menya podderzhali i razreshili pobyvat' v etoi zamechatel'noi strane i Work and Travel, kotoryi pomog otkryt' novyi put' k budushemu!!!
