Today I am beginning my trip to Miami Ink in Miami, Florida. I want to go to Miami to meet Ami James, the owner of a tattoo shop called Miami Ink. He is an awesome tattoo artist, and I’m one of his biggest fans. I would also like to meet Kat Von D because she is also an amazing tattoo artist who is great at doing portraits. These two are featured on the show, Miami Ink on The Learning Channel (TLC), and it’s a show I never want to miss. This morning, I woke up bright and early and caught a flight to Honolulu Airport in Oahu. 
I got an awesome deal on my flight, it was $39.00 one way. I was ecstatic; I even splurged on a taxi when I got here, instead of having my aunty pick me up! 
The taxi cost $20.00 from the Honolulu Airport to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and I gave the driver a $5.00 tip! At Ala Moana, I got lunch at Taco Bell Express. I got a Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme for about $4.00 and like always, I put CHOKE fire sauce on it 
(I think I used about eight packets this time). Then my aunty picked me up and I went to her house, where I got to spend time with my cousins and we had an awesome family dinner, with awesome food (shrimp cocktail, sashimi, prime rib…)
I decided I was not going to spend any more money today, so I stayed at my aunty’s and hung out until now, time for nai nai (sleep). I need my beauty rest, goodnight!
Tomorrow, I’m off to continue my journey to Miami…….
