THE UNPLANNED END-YEAR VACATION

Actually, when I was still in the first semester, I planned to spend my holiday just staying
at home watching K-Dramas, working out, and occasionally hanging out because my little sister
came home for her holiday from Boarding School (Most people know it as 'Pesantren') which is
so far away and she came home only every 6 months and I knew that my sister doesn't like to go
out and prefers staying at home. My parents also agreed that we would not travel outside of the
city, and I had already planned a vacation with some old friends from December 30th to January
1st. We had even purchased our train tickets to Bandung. But suddenly on 29 th of December my
parents asked us to go to East Java for taking my sister back to the Boarding School in Jombang,
East Java on the 3rd of January. I had to cancel my main plan with my old friends. My family (my
parents, me, and my sister) drove to East Java, and our first stop was Madiun City. We stayed for
one night there before continuing to Malang City to visit my brother, who is a student at
Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), and we stayed in The Batu Villas until the second
day of the new year, which was the 2nd of January 2023, and we continued on the 3rd of January
to Jombang, where my sister studies.

We went to Madura after taking my sister to her boarding school. But, because it was
already dark, we decided to spend the night in Gresik, where my father grew up. Actually, I
enjoy vacationing with my family because they are eager to try any culinary and villas or hotels
that are well-known in each city. But what makes me the most tired is that we drove to every
city, and I had so many aches. I could be in the car for a day and my bones, especially my back,
would hurt. We went to Surabaya after spending one day in Gresik and were surprised to learn
that my uncle, who was staying in Madura, was hospitalized, so we went there right away.
Madura is my father's hometown. We spent one night in Madura before returning to Surabaya.
Personally, I disliked staying in Madura because it was too hot and there was no internet signal,
so I asked my parents to return to Surabaya. I enjoy staying in Surabaya because I have many
friends from my junior high and high school days, and I get to see and hang out with them. I
enjoy the atmosphere of Surabaya and all of its shopping centers. What most impressed me was
that I discovered a really good iced coffee along Tunjungan Road. I even bought extras for
myself so that I could drink it while I was at home waiting for my vacation to end.

But at the time, I was only staying for one night in Surabaya, and we were planning to
return home until we passed Semarang City, and I suggested to my parents that we go there and
walk around because we had never stayed in Semarang before, and they agreed. We stayed in
Semarang for two days and sampled some delicious gulai and marrow soup. After Surabaya, I
believe Semarang will be my second favorite place to visit. I love the city view, I love the food,
and I will always visit this city when I go on vacation. We decided to leave Semarang because
we were all exhausted. After a long vacation, I rested for a long time at home. I was home for a
week before the start of the second semester. I'm glad to be back after the holidays and to see all
of my classmates again, with several new lectures that make me so excited to face this semester
in order to get a better grade because I'm not happy with my last semester's grade. Best wishes
for a successful semester to me and my classmates.
