This year I got to go to the San Fran gathering at pier 39, but making it to San Fran was one of my biggest problems I had to face. When talk about the San Fran gathering in December started, I was 95% sure I wasn't able to go. I would be in the middle of school, and i would have no one to go with me on the trip. With lots of convincing and a great time at the last gathering I got the OK to go on the trip. I thought my mother was going to go with me, but with money it was going to be really hard for her to make it. Luckily for me, my friend Tim was also going on the trip, but like me waited til the last minute to find a hotel to stay at. He came up with the idea that we should share a room to save on money, and we could hang out at the gathering together. The only problem was telling my mom "I want to share a hotel room with a boy I've known for about 3-4 months, by ourselves in a city I've never been to before." Yea not the best way to explain or tell my mother that, so I had to come up with some story that would allow me to go. I could only come up with the idea that my friend Lyssa was going with me, but that didn't seem like it was enough to work with, so Michelle told me to tell my mom that Tim was also going, but he was MEGA gay. I tried it, and it worked! The only problem was finding a good hotel that was close and cheap. Time was running short, and no good hotel. Tim said screw it, we're staying at my aunt's house. I was worried about that, but the stay would be free, and at a home. The only problem was explaining this to my mother again, but she understood and was OK with this. Everything seemed to go well until the day i had to leave........
