The Worst Vacation Ever!

Hey! Can I tell you about the worst vacation my parents ever went on?

My parents, Layli and Gil, took me, Amira, and my sister Serena for a nice vacation to New York, my Dad’s parents home. Unfortunately, all four of us for the past several weeks have been suffering from some kind of flu or something worse. What were they thinking!

When we arrived, both Serena and me were running a fever. My fever was 104 and they decided to take me to the emergency room of the hospital where I was admitted. For the next four days they administered antibiotics and Tylanol working to get my fever down and kill whatever the virus was that was causing it. They stuck more things in me and and up me gave me more tests than you can believe! It was really yucky! My mom, stayed with me for all three days and nights in the hospital. I liked that.

Finally, on Sunday my fever went down and we all drove home.

Here is the hospital and that cage behind me where I spent vacation! You can’t believe all the things they stuck in me! How about the beach next time!

My Mommy was great. She stayed with me all the time. If you think I was tired, you should see my Mom.

Hey, I was sick too. But, my aunts and uncles too good care of me.

Home for the Holidays

Lang is home for the holidays from Barcelona. The first semester of business school is always the hardest and he seems to have survived. He is now looking forward to securing an internship for the summer… who knows where. He is applying to Dell, Google, DHL and others. ESADE has the best companies coming to recruit their students, so he should land a good internship. Did we mention that ESADE is the number one ranked international business school by the WSJ???

Here is Lang with his two nieces, Serena and Amira.
