Vacation to Ohio

Since it is Spring Break, I am going to Ohio to see my sister who goes to college there. Many people think that I am crazy to go to Ohio for a week, especially since the flight was $686, but everybody makes different decisions.

My sister goes to Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio and is a sophomore there. I have never seen her campus, or met her friends. This week, I get to spend a week in her sorority house that is located on her campus.

I am aware that almost $700 is very expensive for a flight, especially since it is to Ohio, because lets be honest, what is in Ohio? However, I bought this plane ticket about two and a half days before I left, with US Airway Express, and also had to figure out times that people could get me to and from the airports.

Ashley and I 

My sister, Ashley, is not on spring break this week, but this way there are actually people on her campus and things to do. For example, there is a Just Dance competition being help on campus Tuesday night, and there is a formal for her sorority on Saturday night.

Since I am staying in my sister’s house, I do not have to pay anything for boarding. With there being a limited amount of times she can swipe into the dining hall, we will have to go and buy some food that we can eat at her house, but still not expensive as having to go out and pay for meals every night.

I am very excited to spend time with my sister, since I only get to see her in the summers and over winter break. Next year, Ashley is going to Spain, and will not be home at all for winter break. This way I get to spend time seeing her school and seeing how she lives in Ohio before she is gone for a year.

I may be crazy to some people for spending so much money, but I think the memories that I make over this trip will be priceless. Also, I have been working since I was 14 years old, and think I deserve this vacation in order to spend time with my best friend who is also my sister.
