Dear Diary,

Today, my mom got me this diary for me to fill in on what happens every day of my life.

She also bought it for me since we're moving to New York City, New York. I'm pretty excited about this. It's my first time to ever move away to a different country.

My family and I are originally from China, but the family moved here for a reason that I have no clue about.

Well, we're on the plane right now. It's already been a day and we haven't arrived yet. I'm sitting next to my mom and beside her is my older brother, Jake. My dad is across from me and my Grandpa is just a seat next to him.

We all moved out our old house and moving to the United States. I'm really looking forward to living my life in New York City.

Anyway, I'll fill it on what happens later.

Dear Diary,

It's almost time for the plane to land. We just need to wait for a few more hours. It's nighttime right now and I turned on the light above me so I can see. Everyone in my row is sleeping. It seems that I'm the only one awake.

Anyway, plane rides are okay for me. They are sometimes pretty fun, but as long as you have something to do.

While I was sitting down, I read a magazine that was on the seat pocket in front of me. I also read the plane guidelines on escaping disasters and everything.

Luckily, I'm on a seat next to the window. It's pretty nice to look outside while you'rehigh above the clouds.

I can see all sorts of things like clouds, birds, and sometimes I can see the building and towns from below. But right now, it's just really dark outside and we were over the ocean for a long time.

Well, I'm getting pretty tired right now. So, I'll just report what happens on the next day.

Dear Diary,

Well, we're here in the airport now andwe just arrived. We're all just going to get something to eat before we go to our new house.

We all have our luggage with us now. Everybody in our family is here, my mom, my dad, my olderbrother Jake, and Grandpa. I am pretty confused on where Grandpa's dog, Fu Dog is, though.

Anyway, I've got nothing much to say right now. I'll talk about what's in our new house on the next entry.
