Holiday in Turkey
I will try to edit it for you.

"Two weeks ago I came back from a holiday vacation in Turkey. The weather was mostly good, albeit I was imprisoned in the hotel for two days because of heavy rain. In the beginning, I did not think I could stay at the hotel for two days. However, when I started getting acquainted with the other holiday vacationers I totally forgot about the bad weather conditions and started feeling better.The group of my new friends grew hour by hour. They were offering me drinks and I never refused.

In the last three days the weather forecast was absolutely wonderful, so my friends and I planned a trip to the local market in order to buy some souvenirs. When we reached our destination the most amazing thing for me was that I had to haggle over the price for every product. Before arriving to the hotel we ate at a restaurant. I ordered a serving of stewed vegetables, which tasted lovely, and lamb that was somewhat bland.

At the airport we each exchanged phone numbers and now I am looking forward to seeing them again"

This should be pretty close to correct. Also, I removed the line: "Eventually I ended up at different rooms each night." This is not really a correct/incorrect issue, but more of a cultural issue. In English, particularly after the discussion of alcohol, this could have a subtle, vulgar meaning. English can be very subtle about this, with sayings such as "sleeping together" or "staying in a person's room for the night". Since it does not add a lot to the general idea of the story, I removed it, but maybe someone else could give their input as to what they think about this

    Walking back to the cabin, I recalled all of the pleasurable moments that occurred that day. On the peaceful walk back, we got ice cream, which I was very pleased with. That was a perfect day of fun, good laughs, and of course, the tranquil scene of the beautiful beach. I was delighted when I got back to the cabin and couldn’t wait for what the next day had to…

    The waiter was a kind lady, who immediately gave my dad and I good-looking bread. When I put the bread into my mouth, an explosion of buttery, juicy bread excited my taste buds. It was only a couple minutes in, and I already liked the food. When the waiter came back, my dad had asked the waiter what were some good appetizers to devour on. She stated that the papa rellena, tamal en hoja, and tostones rellenos were good foods to try. I was curious why she chose these three, but when they came and I put them in my mouth, I understood why. They each had their own unique taste, with the papa rellena being my favorite one. It was so interesting and tasty how they stuffed beef into a potato. For the main course, I decided to try something different and amusing. I ordered a rabo encendido, which is the tail of an ox. Even though it sounds disgusting, it was surprisingly good, with a soft, beefy-like taste to it. My dad ordered arroz con pollo, which when arrived at our table was like a mountain of rice. I must say that for the first time in my life, I didn’t have room for desert. In the end, my dad and I brought boxes of left over Cuban food home, both agreeing that the food was worth the price.…

    We got up and had breakfast and then took a bus to the airport. My parents were wondering if the lady named Lily would get the baskets to us on time before we left the country to go back home. And there she was riding in a cab with the window down and the baskets out the window tied down with a string. So my dad asked the lady how much she wanted for the baskets and she said 100 yuans. But over here it is like sixteen dollars. So the lady was so happy and so grateful for the…

    The person sitting next to me was around my age. We said hi to each other and actually became pretty close acquaintances. He told me his name was Jaden and that he was going to Florida, too. We didn’t talk the whole way to Florida but we talked for a good amount of time. Other than talking to Jaden, I listened to music and watched movies that I had downloaded the previous night on my phone. Jaden and I exchanged numbers so we could keep in touch. To this day we still talk from time to time.…

    I had taken a closer look in the house to see how it differs from a regular house. I had noticed there were patch jobs in the hall ways. I had inquired about it to the staff member and they had told me that it from one of the residents who I violent a lot and had constant mood swings. In my mind, I thought yikes, I better stay out of his way. I had done just that, but only for a little bit. Later that night, he was into watching the roughrider game, so I had thought this might be an opportunity to try to bond with the guy. Even though I knew nothing about the sport, it was worth it. By the of the game, we were cheering and laughing. I had felt an instant connection with this individual. After the shift was over and I had left. I had started to shred tears because I was thinking, how many people would neglect a person like that because of something out of their control. Once time was given and wanting to spend it with the person made the difference.…

    The best part of the day had arrived, dinner. We had a reservation at the pier in which we were going to eat dinner. We looked like a whole bunch of bees ready to attack. The food was there. Right in front of our noses. We could feel the presence of the warmth coming from the food. The smell was just making our mouths water and our tummies rumble. We looked at each other with such eagerness to have some of those explicit desserts in our mouths. There we were, with our food served and ready to attack. I knew that when I was done with this food there was no longer going to be any space for the dessert. Overall the food was amazing and the experience as well.…

    Later that morning, in the sunlit dining hall, breakfast was being severed. My group sat at the table we sat at the night before. As I started to eat my tater-tots , the events from yesterday filled my mind. My group went snorkeling, both day and night, I could still feel the cold water soak my wetsuit. I remembered that Mr. Lacey, our principal, announced that the school would be leaving today because of a storm. I was disappointed because I payed for three days instead of two,but at least I was having fun.…
