My Omaha Trip for Labor Day Weekend, 2024

My Omaha Trip for Labor Day Weekend, 2024


My mom's friend, Naveena Aunty, and her husband, Sai Uncle, invited us to their house and we agreed like last year for Labor Day Weekend. On August 31st, Friday, just a couple of hours before school dismissal, at 1:30 PM, I was really excited as my dad picked me up and my sister and as I was going to meet my friend, Srihaas. We started driving and passed through Illinois and Iowa and, we went to Mcdonalds' for a pit-stop snack. Then, we headed to Nebraska and saw lots of cornfields. Nebraska is notorious for cornfields. Finally, we arrived at our friend's house after a 7-hour drive. There, I met my funny friend named Srihaas. My sister, Disha, and Srihaas's sister, Srinika quickly jumped into playing their games without wasting any time and continued playing until we left.
    
    The next day, September 1st, Saturday, we went to the Hindu Temple of Omaha in the morning and went to the Temple Cafeteria where they had Dosa, a thin, savory crepe from South India that's made from a fermented batter of rice and ground black lentils, Pongal, a South Indian dish of rice and lentils, and Mango Lassi, a mango-flavored drink with a frothy consistency. Then, we went to the Spare Time Arcade & Bowling Center to get some entertainment. After that, we went to our friend's house and I played some Fortnite with Srihaas, we got 2 Victory Royales. To end day 2, we went to Kona Grill for dinner which had the best sushi that I have ever had. 
They also had a tiny fish aquarium where they cooked the fish for the sushi.


    The next day, September 2nd, Sunday, we passed by Warren Buffet's house.

He is the ninth-richest person from Omaha on earth at $138 billion. Unexpectedly, his house looked like a typical house. He is known for his frugal nature but he does so much charity. After that, we went to a restaurant called Tupelo Honey for breakfast which had fire food. I had delicious waffles with tender and crispy chicken. After our sumptuous breakfast, we headed to the Kiewit Luminarium which is basically a Science museum. It had a domino effect, water droplet photography

and many cool experiments, it also showed how the experiments worked. Then, we went to our friend's house and, my mom, my friend Srihaas, and his mom played some Catan with me. Catan is a game where players take the role of settlers, each wanting to build houses and cities while importing and exporting resources. Players gain their victory points as their buildings grow and the first to reach the required number of victory points wins.

    On the last day, September 3, Monday, I played Fortnite with Srihaas and we finished our Omaha Trip at Good Evans Breakfast which had some nice food.


Then, we said "Bye" to our friends. At 7:15 PM, we ate dinner at the Thai Pavilion in DeKalb en route to our home. I ate some good Pineapple fried rice. Finally, we headed home and had a good night's sleep. I really loved our trip because I could meet my friend and could have some entertainment with him. Thank you, Naveena Aunty and Sai Uncle for inviting us and for being such good hosts.

My Trip to Rio, Brazil 2025 (Wheelchair accessible)

  My Tr ip to Rio, Brazil 2025 W elcome to my wonderful experience of our voyage to Rio, Brazil over my 2025 spring break. On Friday March 28th, I had early dismissal from school. I told most of my teachers including the principal that I am going to Brazil for vacation, out of my excitement. My dad picked me up and we headed home. I ate lunch and then my dad drove us to the airport. When we boarded the Avianca Airlines, I hoped that there will be screens but to my surprise there were none. When the plane departed, they served us snacks. I ate Oreos, Doritos, and Cheese Ramen Noodles. The rest of the time, I had beautiful sleep and observed the plane. Then, we arrived in Bogota in Columbia. In the airport, I noticed almost everyone's skin color was tan. I was starting to feel that we are in Latin America. En route to our gate to Rio, I saw a statue of a lady carrying fruits on her head. The first thing that came to my mind was coffee beans. The accessibility was pretty good. In Chic...

My trip to Branson, Missouri to visit my friends for Labor Day Weekend (Wheelchair accessible)

My trip to Branson, Missouri with my friends & family  (Trip on wheels)     Welcome to my fun and historic experience at Branson, Missouri. We booked an Airbnb in Lampe, Missouri so me, my family, my friend Srihaas and his family can stay. They were heading to this location from Omaha, Nebraska. On August 29th, I went to school but had early dismissal at 12PM. During the eight hour drive, we had two fast food stops. The road in the Ozarks had unpredictable turns; just like a curled snake. It was dark. Just a few minutes  away from our AirBnB, a cop stopped us for an unreasonable reason. We didn't give the car in front of us three seconds to go. The officer explained my dad we have to count 1001, 1002 and 1003. Thankfully, it was a warning only and no ticket. Cop's computer was down so it took 30 minutes in total.  Our friends came to the Airbnb at 230 AM.        On August 30th, we did our routin e. After my dad got me ready, I went outsid...

My Italy Odyssey

Image
  Italy trip- 2024 On August 4th, 2024, my family and I went to Italy. YAY!! We did the check-in and security procedures quickly at O'Hare Airport, Chicago. We boarded the plane that took us to Detroit, Michigan. After waiting sometime at our gate, we boarded another plane to Rome, Italy.   At 8:45 AM the next day, August 5th, we arrived in Rome. We then took a train to Rome Termini, the main train station in Rome,  to arrive at our hotel.  On the train from the Rome Airport to Rome Termini , there was a spark of curiosity about what the beautiful city of Rome was like. Still, when we arrived, I was surprised because the elevator in our hotel was very narrow so, it was challenging to get the wheelchair in the elevator.  Once  my parents figured it out, we checked into our hotel room. They booked this hotel because it was closer to most of the attractions. I then quickly realized that my parents kept telling me that Rome is a congested city. ...
