Tara could not literally count the number of times her friends talked about their holiday vacations to New York city. And how fantastic New York city is to visit.
Tara was looking really forward to the end of next week. Next Friday to be exact. Not just because it was the beginning of the long summer holidays. After having broken up yesterday afternoon. Tara was currently in her first year studying an arts course at Lakeside college. The college was located on the sub urban area of Heron field. She was studying a full time course in art studies, which she was really good at. From having always loved art, ever since she could remember. Even though Tara, a bright and really hard working college student, thoroughly enjoyed studying art, she definitely needed some time to have fun and chill out. She had already planned to have a week holiday break a good few months ago. Also much agreed to both of her parents. A little over a year ago, Tara got herself a small part time weekend retail assistant job. Working during weekends on Saturday and Sunday afternoons until about five o`clock. Which perfectly suited herself. As she was already studying at college full time from Mondays to Friday afternoons.
Tara Wells, was also going on a one week holiday break to New York city. Over the months she had saved up some of her money from her part time retail job in her Lloyds bank savings account. After having had a long tiring afternoon at college, after having her tea, Tara straight away went upstairs to her bedroom and went onto her computer. And went on the internet to browse online all of the one week holiday breaks. Suddenly Tara saw a holiday advert for New York. And without hesitation, she bought one ticket online. She really could not wait until next Friday, she was quickly losing her patience. She was currently counting down the days until she was going to New York. It was going to the first ever time that Tara Wells was going abroad solo and to New York. She had mixed feelings of being excited and slightly nervous at the same time. It was perfectly normal and to be expected Tara told herself firmly. Time would tell what her real feelings turned out to be. During the week she prepared herself for going on holiday and packed her suitcase. And weighed her suitcase to ensure the suitcase was of a sufficient weight. To go onto the plane onboard.
A week passed by so quickly. And before Tara knew it, the day had come. To go to New York. Her father Sam Wells, had arranged to drive Tara all the way to the Heathrow airport in the outer city of London. Tara waved goodbye to both her mother and her older sister May, while her dad was reversing on their house driveway. And greatly promised to phone them during her holiday break from New York. The journey went to plan luckily, seeing as the traffic thankfully was not too bad. When she got dropped off in the airport carpark, she waved goodbye to her dad and went straight down to the departures department. Her dad told her that he was going to pick her up from the Heathrow airport after her holiday break finished.
The plane journey to New York took about nine hours. During that time span Tara spent some time looking out of the side airplane window and reading some of her science fiction novel. They had finally arrived in New York. Much to her excitement. The exact location where the home alone films was cast.
Tara always knew that she would travel to New York city one day. And it had just happened finally. She turned out to absolutely love New York- the accent, the stunning looking city scape and the New York city culture. It turned out to be a fantastic holiday trip. When she arrived home after having spent a week there, she had plenty to tell of her trip to her family.
