From a balcony, on the second floor, smack in the middle of the resort complex, which was built on the site of the first resort in this area, a gray-haired man sits in a wicker chair and watches the morning happenings on the beach. The morning mist still hugs the coast, becoming more noticeable as the sun climbs and the sea breeze has yet to pick up help it in its way. The man takes a drink from his coffee cup finishing its contents as he does he stands up and bends backward in a sort of morning stretch and looks at his now empty cup.
“Honey,” the man says, “I need a refill please.”
A woman walks out with a coffee craft.
“Thanks, Honey,” the man says smiling up at her, “you’re the best”

This is the life, the tourists gets warm salt air and freshly caught fish for dinner.
Across the street or maybe just off the beach, a souvenir shop beckons with lifeguard shirts in its windows, a sign is plastered to one window and reads “Beach Towels, 2 for $10.” On the sidewalk sits a table, littered with seashells and other knickknacks for sale. These things are offered to as memories of a great vacation.
Someplace close to the souvenir shop will likely be a historical marker or local museum, stately and embellished with local charm. Facts about colorful local figures and legends, perhaps a horrific or tragic ghost story or two, captivate the tourist. The stories connect the visitors to the vacation spot, allowing for an immersive experience, which moves them closer to escaping their lives back home.
On the main strip, a group of college age boys, all wearing the same Greek letters on their t-shirts, sit overlooking the street at some rowdy bar catering to poor choices.

The acquisition of the articles delivers not only serviceable use, but also an association with the prior owner, thereby yielding a social merit that is well worth the expense. “AllMyLifeForSale.com” is a prime example of merchandising articles not solely based on physical purpose, as similar websites such as EBay,

When he finally arrived after a four hour car ride he was glad to be jumping around and letting all of his excitement be seen. They entered the lobby of the hotel and the first thing he noticed was all of the colors and the big jar of candy. By big he meant huge. There was orange all over the walls, and not just one shade of orange. There was neon orange and dark orange. There was a great big pond
A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid presents the hypothetical story of a tourist visiting Antigua, the author’s hometown. Kincaid places the reader in the shoes of the tourist, and tells the tourist what he/she would see through his/her travels on the island. She paints a picturesque scene of the tourist’s view of Antigua, but stains the image with details of issues that most tourists overlook: the bad roads, the origin of the so-called native food, the inefficiency of the plumbing systems in resorts, and the glitches in the health care system. Kincaid was an established writer for The New Yorker when she wrote this book, and it can be safely assumed that majority of her readers had, at some point in their lives, been tourists. I have been a

A marvelous weekend in December of 2006 had gone by in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. San Felipe is an attractive beach town with numerous activities and breathtaking views. My family and I enjoyed juicy mangos on the sandy beach, the best fresh and crispy fish tacos under tons of surrounding palm trees, and other seafood that was recently fished out of the warm ocean. The food was great, but the activities were even better. Banana rides, parasailing, and jet skiing were among the best activities that I had ever experienced. The rocky water of the Gulf of Mexico and splashes of warm salty ocean water made the banana rides and jet skiing unforgettable. Parasailing allowed me to see a breathtaking aerial view of the deep blue ocean, and feel as if I had escaped Earth for a few minutes. It was the best.

Image one demonstrates the types of posters sold and bought my college students. This image was found in a local store near Hobart William Smith, as well as seen in a male dorm room. The statement, “helping ugly people have sex” demonstrates the societal notion that through drinking alcohol one has the ability to have sex with other people. In social gatherings people use alcohol as a form of liquid courage. The courage people receive from drinking allows them to feel more outgoing and allow them to have a sense of euphoria. The poster also addresses the idea that through alcohol people obtain “beer goggles.” These goggles have become a social term that refers to one’s brain activity after drinking. The effects of alcohol cause people to reduce
