Vacation Time! By: Dominique Polanco and Michael Frake
The Ride We will be driving in the most awesome car in the world. The total gas price we need comes up to a total of $539.35.
The Hotel We're going to be staying at the Best Western Hotel for a total of $949.95, with our 42 plasma, free wifi and breakfast, and double Queen beds.
FOOD The most important element in all daily activity, we decided to get the best we could for $50 per person/day. Since breakfast was free, we ordered a variety of seafood, steak, and noodles through out the trip. Yum!
The Skate Park When we were at the Hollenbeck with my brand new aggressive skates and Dominique's professional skateboard, we shred it up in there!
Pirates of the Caribbean This was a great movie! It was made even better by the 3Deffects made possible by the new technology in imax theaters. Dominique also found $20 here!
Other Activities Dodgers' Stadium Caught a Home Run Ball! The Getty Museum Dominique got kissed, and I got some rare flowers! The Universal Studios A lot of fun! Rode rides and got wet.
Leaving The final cost of our action-packed trip was $2336.78, which is represented by the MASTER equation, c=(189.99h)+(100.00f)+(28.25a)+(18.00a) +(119.99a)+15.00, where c is the cost. We'll miss LA, and they'll miss us too, because we TP'ed the room! Senior Dominiqua Michael Frake
Our Trip to Los Angeles Me and Dominique had already packed, printed our directions from our handy dandy Google Maps homepage, figured out everything we were going to do, and took off. The only thing I remember from that horrible driving experience was the stench of fast-food hurriedly bought from Taco Bell as we raced towards LA. We decided to just sleep in the car as we rolled into the back of the gas station to save money from a hotel and parking. The following morning, we drove over to the Best Western hotel and booked 5 nights for me and Dominique. After our meals, a little meandering around the chicks at the pool, and a little pool game, we decided to watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie at 7 in the imax theater. That movie would have been spectacular if it weren't for the fat dude in front of us throwing popcorn at everybody. At least Dominique found $20 on the floor that we bought popcorn and sodas for, lucky fool. The next day, we were kinda lazy so we just decided to go skating at the local Hollenbeck Park. Man, Dominique was all over those ramps, almost pulled a triple kick-flip if it weren't for that kid he almost bailed on! Good times. Went to sleep like a baby after that nice shrimp cocktail for dinner. I woke up the following
morning feeling kinda achy after all that skating, so we decided to just walk around the Universal Studios and check out all the cool rides, special effects studio, King Kong 360 3D video, and the famous Universal CityWalk, where everything is always unexpected. Apparently it's true, because I sure didn't expect it when Dominique randomly decided to throw his Pepsi all over the front of my pants. Well, they were his pants, because evidently the customer service sucks at Worst Western. The next day we strolled over to the Getty Museum to mess with the nobles there. There was a bunch of pretty flowers in their gardens that we decided to borrow to ease the stress on the many gardeners there, of course. Dominique gave his to some random girl, and she kissed him. I threw up. The next to last day we were feeling kinda bored so we drove to the Dodgers' stadium to see was' happenin, according to Dominique. We were sitting in the front part of the home run seats, hoping to catch something with the gloves we brought. I caught the home run ball! I had to wrestle it out of the same chubby man's hands from the movies before, coincidentally. Dominique was so jealous! The final day we packed up and TP'ed our room (because the clerk charged us for the day even though it was barely pass 12) and we left in style, because Dominique's red Lamborghini looked like it was on fire in that sunset. I'm coming back next year!
