IF I WERE A BILLIONAIRE...

During my Xmas vacation I'd send my mom and Maxine to visit my aunt Martha in Utah, with gifts to give them. My brothers and I would also travel the world and see places we've only seen on T.V. And if I got tired of them I'd send them to Utah with other gifts for my mom and aunt and the family. I'd send for my friends Charlotte, Lois and whomever I wanted to come stay with me in Hollywood, California. I'd meet them at the hottest new hotel in town or some fancy penthouse.

From there we'd go to Hawaii and roam all the islands for a week. Then I'd fly to Jamaica and stick around there for another week. Probably I'd find a nice place to stay near the beach and just veg out. I'd go to the parties and Jamaican dances near the beach. I'd also keep a good journal to remember my friends and the fun times we had together.

Before my vacation ended I'd go to France and see Paris and stay for about four days in a fancy hotel. I'd go shopping and check the place out. And I'd take a lot of pictures during my vacation, especially of us near the Eiffel Tower with beers in our hands. I'd never be tired of seeing places, and I'd enjoy every moment with my family and close friends.

Two days before my vacation ended I'd come back home and rest to get ready for school. I'd give little gifts like rings, earrings, or necklaces to my classmates and maybe a card to the teachers.
