A once-in-a-lifetime event
Many years ago, I was on vacation to a seaside island with a group of my friends. We had been saving throughout the whole year in order to visit this location, which was known for its luxurious beaches and entertaining night life. Although our whole trip was very pleasant and memorable, there was one event that stood out to us that we were particularly fond of, since we considered it to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. We were approached by what appeared to be a TV show crew.
