Summer Vacations



  Let me tell you about my most memorable summer vacations trip ever until now. It started when we got a call saying that you have a C-130 flight leaving this night at 10 o'clock from Masroor Base approx. 32km from our house. Our name was on waiting list, means that if an already confirmed passenger ought to not come for the flight we might have a chance for boarding the plane. Finally we decided to pay Masroor Base a visit and keep the thought of going out of city in corner of our minds. When I mention 'OUR' it means 4 people: my mother, 2 sisters & myself. The plane was burning hot until it reached its maximum altitude and the air conditioning started.
We were off to Chaklala base in Pindi, where a friend of my mom was to receive us. After the plane made its landing, I found out that we have landed on Musaf Base somewhere in Sargodha. There we made our 6 hour stay by just sitting on a sofa and doing nothing. Its no doubt that Sargodha was an extremely, awesomely beautiful place but the weather there didn't allowed us to ponder beyond our rooms. I saw for the first time the most famed fighter planes of Pakistan Airforce takeoff before my eyes.
Daewoo bus service took us from Sargodha to Pindi which took about 2 hours. There we met personals from my father's unit and then went to the booked guest room in surveyors mess which was located behind FWO headquarters. The room was remarkably decorated beyond measure and provided pure comfort that we needed after our tiresome flight. After that we used the same bus service to us take to Muree also known as "Queen of Hills".
The weather there was more than that could be expressed by words like alluring, blithesome, euphonious & felicitous. The we did hours of walking and met a very sweet family which was also the friend of my mother. They had two kids, Ali Asghar & Kamar Batool. Still the thought of these two mischief-loving bring smile. We hired a cab to show us the hill station and did a lot of photo shoot.
Islamabad was our next stop and this stop gave us most of the element of discussion. Places that we visited include: Hardees, Damn-e-Koh, Ayaans bakery Shwarma [Literaly Beyond Awesome], Jinnah Park. Dinner at mother's friend house was also a memorable one when we stuffed our tummies to more than its full capacity.
Last but not the least stop over was Lahore there we met five families: Raffat chacha , Ruby phopo, Kuko chacha, Afroza phopo & Nomi chacho. Our stay was at Raffat chacha house were we met Sunny bhai and Safia chahci. Our stay there was of 3 nights and 4 days. On the third day we went to catch the site of Lahore and visited: the Mall of Lahore, Xinhua mall, C.t.c, Block Y market, Cafe Rock, Cinabon, Liberty market, Ring road, Hardees and finally Golden Wok a Chinese  restaurant of gourmet quality. On the day of our return it rained and the weather turned from unbearable to pleasant, may be to bade us farewell. :)
