My trip to Florida (U.S.A.)

My dad had 4 weeks of work in his company's headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, after which he took one week off and we flew to Orlando to visit NASA & Disney World. Now, here I am sitting in O'hare airport, waiting for the flight to Orlando. Unfortunately the flight gets delayed. Then the announcement that flight has got cancelled made me upset since all our plans are already in place to visit NASA next day. Fortunately we got shifted to another flight which was via Miami, however the journey became longer and we reached Orlando airport pretty late at night, around 1:00 a.m. It was quite late at night when we took a rental car, Toyota Corolla this time, and started driving towards Titusville which is on the east coast of Florida, close to Kennedy Space Center. The highway was totally deserted and we hardly saw any other car on the road. I slept in the car while my father was driving, totally dependent on GPS. We reached our hotel 'Best Western Space Shuttle

I was at my house waiting for the taxi to come and drop me to Indira Gandhi International Airport. I sat in the taxi and Zoooooooomed towards the airport. After approximately half an hour I reached the airport. It took 2 hours to complete the check-in and other formalities and then  I boarded the plane towards Chicago. As the time in India was 2:00 a.m. I was feeling very sleepy so I felt asleep. When it was around 8:30 a.m. according to Indian Standard time I woke up. I was served with lavish breakfast and a sumptuous chicken as lunch. As I was flying in Air India there was a large variety of Hollywood and Bollywood movies. I watched 3 movies Paddington, Interstellar and Finding Fanny. I watched many videos and cartoons to entertain myself. After many hours I reached Chicago's O'hare International Airport !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was very excited as it was my first visit to the U.S.A. We quickly collected our luggage and took a cab towards our studio apartment. After 16 min
