My Dream Outta This World Holiday..

‘Brring..................’ screamed the alarm. I tried to ignore it. I wanted to stay in my dream. My dream outta this world holiday.

In my dream holiday I would want to go to Jupiter, but if I took off today I would be 19 because it takes 7 years to get there. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.

Jupiter would be the fourth biggest object in the sky (after the Sun , the Moon and Venus). Its also is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest planet in the Solar System.

I would like to go to Jupiter not because its the closest planet to Earth or because its the biggest planet in our Solar System but because I really want to explore around the planet and see how big it really is. I heard that it has four large moons and many smaller moons that form a kind of miniature Solar System.

Thank you April.
