I couldn't wait for my family and I to take our annual vacation. It was during those times that I enjoyed myself most. I had anticipated this vacation to be the best. After all, I was going to the greatest place in the world. Little did I know I was about to embark on a journey that would leave a scare in my memory, permanently. The incident took place more than ten years ago, yet I can recall the date and time as if it were yesterday. The date, Saturday, June 13, 1989; the time, 2:00 in the afternoon.
