Matt B.’s Million Dollar Dream Vacation

By: Matt Bachand

New York City AdventuresFor my Million Dollar project I went to three

places. Those places were New York City, Tanzania, and the Bahamas. There were 10 people with me. While I was in New York City I bought a Rolls Royce Phantom and hired a driver. I also bought everyone a Mac Laptop, super expensive sunglasses and sweet Nike shoes. I even bought everyone a digital camera. We went to awesome restaurants. We also went to F.A.O. Schwartz to buy toys. Then we went to watch a Yankees baseball game from a very cool suite.

Safari FunAfter we went to New York City we went

on a 19 day all-inclusive African safari in Tanzania. We stayed in ultra luxury suites. I bought everyone cool hiking boots. When moving from location to location, we travelled first class in our own plane. One of the places we visited was Tarangire. The lodge was in the treetops. The lodge had a view of all the animals. We all had so much fun on our 19 day African safari.

Bahamas BlastAfter we went on our 19 day safari, we

went to the Bahamas. On our plane ride, we had first class seats. While we were there we rented a yacht for a week. We also went parasailing. We stayed in the Atlantis Hotel, in their best suites. There were some awesome restaurants. We had a great meal at the Seafire Steakhouse. We also saw a huge whale from our yacht. We named him Moby.
