It was an unforgettable morning full of excitement and expectations. Finally we made it, we will spend incredible holiday as a family together. Since there isn't lately anything impossible we decided to fly to the Moon. Our friends enjoyed unbelievable honeymoon two years ago in 2089 there and their experiences fascinated me so much that the Moon became my dream destination. We packed stuff and we were ready, our journey people 20 years ago considered something unrealizable, got started. First of all we met astronaut, who gave us instructions. In 30 minutes we were sitting in the spacecraft wearing uncomfortable space suits and our flight was about to start. When the spacecraft took off, we felt horrible mixture of sickness, headache and dizziness and it took us long time to overcome it. Luckily later things got better, so we decided to have lunch. It was big mistake because such inedible dish I have never tasted in my life! I started blaming myself, I shouldn't have forced my family to go with me, it was unforgivable mistake and I felt like the most irresponsible woman in this universe. Suddenly spacecraft changed the direction and in few minutes we landed. We went outside and the view we saw, it was such undescribable experience one can hardly express by the words BUT... in few minutes some weird flying objects started attacking on us. Dust was everywhere and we didn't see anything, we thought we were invisible because aliens disappeared. Nobody informed us about these attacks, all travel agencies decided to hide this fact and came up with the excuse that attacks are unpredictable. Because of this situation we had to spend the whole holiday in the hotel for security reasons. This holiday was our worst and I can literally call it terrible nightmare! I will never ever recommend anybody to fly to the Moon.

Hi Tara,
yes Expector has already "warned" me :-) and I know it is my weak side to omit articles.. I will focus on it since now on..
As for some of the expressions with errors: an incredible holiday, an unbelievable honeymoon, an uncomfortable space suits, an unforgivable mistake, a terrible nightmare
I have a question.. Is my last sentence correct? I mean - recommend sb. to do sth.. can we say it?
Hi Luci,
Great story! It's fun to see so many bloggers trying the weekly writing prompts. You found many great -ible/-able adjectives.
Be careful when you use adjectives to modify singular nouns. You sometimes forget to include an article (a/an).
an unforgettable morning (Here you did it correctly. Can you spot some places in your story where you forgot to include a/an before your adjective + noun?)
I'm encouraging you :D
Pipit, thanx :-) ehm, my brain works like this, the task was to describe some horrible holiday experience and since I didn't have it, I decided to turn on my sci-fi imagination :-D
@Luci
Good question about "recommend". Thanks for the link. You can always say "recommend something to somebody", but be careful when you're trying to say "recommend somebody to do something", because some people may consider the latter to be incorrect. Please check out Longman dictionary of contemporary English.
And:
"You can also recommend someone to do something.
Some people consider this use to be incorrect, and say that you should say 'Although they have eight children, they do not recommend that other couples should have families of this size'.
Be Careful!
Don't say that you 'recommend someone' a particular action. Don't say, for example, 'I recommend you a visit to Paris'. Say 'I recommend a visit to Paris', 'I recommend visiting Paris', or 'I recommend that you visit Paris'."
So, be careful that "recommend" can be so tricky to use.
Ali, thanx for such nice comment :-) are you ok to praise me? :-D
Expector, I don't know why but I was taught: RECOMMEND STH. TO SB. like to give advice to somebody. I tried to look it up and found this: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/recommend
Anyway, maybe I am totally wrong.. who knows :-)
Angelito, thank you for such nice comment!
You have a true talent of writing my friend keep it on.
Very readable! Great use of all the -ible and -able words.
Re correction:
Be careful the word "recommend" can be so tricky to use. You can recommend that someone do something or recommend doing something, but you do not say "recommend someone something".
So, your last sentence can be corrected: "I will never ever recommend anybody to fly to the Moon."
And, you've left out the article "a/an" in several sentences - try to read your blog again and you'll spot where you omitted an article.
Incredible writing and valuable blog :D
