A
When I was in middle school, I told my parents the only thing I wanted for New Year was a suitcase.
You may think upon reading, that we were a family who traveled regularly. We weren't. The only true family vacation we took when I was a kid, was when my parents packed up my brother and I and drove from Maine to Florida. I was 4-year-old and when I try to think back on this time, only vague (模糊的) photos surface.
Though our spring breaks were not filled with trips to Disney, I do credit(归功于) the women in my family with inspiring my love for travel.
Sometime after the Florida trip, my mother and her mother (Nana), took my brother and me to Arizona. Again, this trip has little influence on my memory.
Way before cellphones existed, somehow, Nana and I got separated from my mom and brother. We searched a bit but couldn't find them.
So we did what anyone would do when pressed for time and, actually lost: We got ice cream. I'm not sure if it was because of the ice cream, but at that point, any fear I had died down. My mom remembers finding "someone in a fancy jacket" and having us called, but Nana and I didn't hear it over the passing chatter and shoes clicking (发出咔哒声) against the floor. Or again, maybe it was because of the ice cream. By chance, as Nana and I stood there eating our ice cream, the responsible members of our party found us.
Nana hardly ever traveled; she didn't have the traveler's instinct (本能) that comes with navigating crowds. My mom wasn't happy when she happened upon us; actually, she was really frightened. Now, we laugh at the memory as if there was never any backlash (激烈反应) of "what-if."
