First name: Vanessa       State or province: Texas           Country: USA If there was a fire and I was in the shower, the first thing I would do would be to make all my clothes really wet and put them on.

    The only thing that l was thinking of on my journey was that as soon as I      and said goodbye,1 would make the trip       ,in total, a round trip of 900 kilometers in just 10 hours. Such a long drive in one day was frightening, particularly as I was looking forward to relaxation.
