Straightening my tie I looked around through the rows of families and other businessmen who desperately attune themselves on the mangled blue leather seats trying to get comfortable. Finding no seat I walked over to the side and sat on the ground. The trip that awaited me would be a brisk three-day excursion to the A-grade Investments

Traveling is something my family has always done since I was born. Many times we do day trips, but we always try to have a summer trip to a place that's more than a day's travel away.
