Unit 3 Cruz'in

“Hurry up Meg. We are going to be late.” Tom loaded the bags into the taxi as Meg checked to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. She grabbed her purse and locked the door as the taxi honked outside.

Tom and Meg were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary by taking a cruise around the world. The taxi dropped them off at the harbor in front of the Alaskan Princess. “This is it,” said Tom. “Our home away from home for the next year.”

Meg looked up at the beautiful ship. She couldn't believe they were going to travel to Europe, Asia, Australia and home again. She had always wanted to see the world. Now they were doing it in style.

Tom waved as the ship set sail. Their first stop was Europe. He had always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, the city of London and the cafe-lined streets of Venice.

That evening Meg and Tom got dressed up and had a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean. “Here is to fifty wonderful years,”toasted Tom. “And to another year of travel and adventure.”
