Class trips

In the past week my class went on a trip to Corpus Christi, the trip was fun EXEPT for the fact that we had to sleep on the floor of an aquarium and in the Lexington. At night on the Lexington it is fun until you hav to skew and it becomes a nightmare if you have to get up at night. The whole ship is pitch black except for the emergency light that is red but other than that the Lexington is fun. Before the Lexington we visited an aquarium on the beach and it was fun but for me I wasn't a big fan of the crawling things like craps, sea urchins,etc. my favorite part was either the first bus ride from our starting location to Corpus Christi because we watched movies and made stops for snacks a lot or going on top of the flight deck of the Lexington because there were a lot of my favorite aircraft up there. When i was on top of the flight deck I saw how all the planes landed and took off on such a short takeoff zone and I found out that there was a wire that catches on to the landing gear in the plane and slows it down so it doesn't fall in the ocean. I got some crazy pictures while on the lex and if you ever have the chance to visit it then I suggest you go.
