my LAST holiday, was, - quite POSSIBLY, - the most EXHILARATING trip, that I could, EVER, have imagined!
Two years ago, - just a couple of days, after my BIRTHDAY, - my sister, and brother-in-law, told my MUM, and I, that, - EIGHT WEEKS, after that date, - we would be boarding an AEROPLANE, to go WITH them, to a place, that, - until THAT point, - I had only, DREAMED of visiting, - the World-famous "DISNEYWORLD", in FLORIDA!
The WHOLE EXPERIENCE, - which was, ONLY, SEVEN DAYS, long, - was like a DREAM COME TRUE, for me! I set OUT, to achieve just THREE ambitions, - to HEAR the American National Anthem, played, - to meet my "DISNEY HERO", - THAT being "TIGGER", - and, LASTLY, I wanted to see a BALD EAGLE at CLOSE RANGE!
I achieved ALL THREE, on the SAME DAY, of that trip! And, what's MORE, - I got the PICTURES, - AND VIDEO, - to PROVE it!
Although, I am an ENGLISHMAN, the FACT is, that, - as the "STAR-SPANGLED BANNER" was played, - and, I SANG the words, - with HAND ON HEART, - TEARS of ABSOLUTE PRIDE, and JOY, rolled down my face! This, being so, I was ASKED, by a man, whom I had NEVER MET, in my LIFE, what PART of the U.S., I had COME FROM!
I replied, that I was NOT, and American, and told him, that I was on holiday, from ENGLAND, and he held out a VERY FRIENDLY handshake, - as he told me, that:- "SON, - IF THOSE TEARS SAY ANYTHING, TO ME, - THEY TELL ME, THAT, - IF ONLY, FOR THE DURATION, OF YOUR VACATION, - YOU ARE, - MOST DEFINITELY, - TO CONSIDER YOURSELF, AN HONORARY AMERICAN CITIZEN!"
I was WELL aware, that the STAFF, - called "CAST MEMBERS", at "DISNEY", - were all EXTREMELY HELPFUL, - but they, - ALL, - actually, SUPERSEDED any expectations, that I may have HAD, - by THE LONGEST distance, known, to Mankind! Throughout THAT week, I felt, - and was TREATED, - like a GOD!
