Birthday Gift Essay

On the ship we played ping pong. I played a lot throughout the cruise. My dad beat me at the beginning of the cruise, but I started to get better and beat my dad. The pool on the cruise ship was amazing because it was big and consisted of cold water. Another thing was the food. It was interesting and good. One of the foods I tried was scargo. It is snail. They had a basketball court as well. I had a lot of fun with all of these exciting experiences and activities.

The sky was always blue holding sunshine rays in her world. Her name was Rosaline Deponte, my great-grandma. The continuous smile that she showed on her face reminded us how precious life is and to not take things for granted. Cold wood floors that could easily freeze toes, single-walled construction, shut rows of jalousie windows, and the smell of warm sweet bread on the counter 24/7, that was Rosaline’s house.

I`ve been on planes, cars, and many things in my life but I have never been on a cruise, and on this Alaskan Cruise I was able to try new things. In our ship they had swimming pools, ping pong tables, casinos, and a extraordinary ice cream bar. One of my favorite parts of this trip was holding two baby sled dogs that were two weeks old. I also liked kayaking, plus I shared a kayak with my sister, Mia, and I controlled the kayak from the back. After that my family and I went on a bus ride to see caribou, bears, and glaciers. I also went on a hike and float with the Kendal`s (who are my cousins), because there daughter Annie was sleepy. I saw cool trees and fascinating wildlife. I even was allowed to eat berries that tasted like watermelon, but

It was carrying a lot of people from all over the world. I have never been so excited in my life to go to one place. The anticipation was so overwhelming and once again, I could not wait to get to the resort. After a twenty minute bus ride we got to the resort. Once I stepped off the bus I could remember seeing the beautiful palm trees and feeling the heat of the sun beating on my face. I said to my dad, finally we made it and let the fun begin. We got settled and checked into the hotel. My brother and I decided to check the rest of the resort out. The resort had a crystal clear pool with a bar in it. It was amazing and I have never seen anything like it before in my life. The resort also had ten gourmet restaurants and plenty of entertaining things for us kids to do. So, after we did this we went back to our hotel and stayed in for the night. We were beat and just wanted to get some sleep from the long day of

The ship let us have one more breakfast and then we had to get off the ship which I thought was kind of sad because the whole trip went by really fast because I had so much fun. The last thing i ate on the ship was eggs, bacon and pancakes and then we had to get off so we went to get our stuff and then we left. The next thing that happened was we were taken to the plane and we got on and it was very dark outside and I think it was 8:00 or 8:30 when we sat down on the plane and we were all very tired so I told my mom and stepdad “I am going to sleep” and they did too. I woke up after a long nap which the plane landed and it was time to get off and we then went to our cars and we got in and went home. When we got home we had to unpack all of the items that we took on the trip. After all of that we were happy we got home and we finally got to relax. ‘The trip was the funnest moment in my life” is what I told my mom because it really was the funnest moment in my life so far. “I hope i go on another cruise someday” is the first thing I thought when I got home and if I go on another one then I hope it will be as fun and exciting as this

I could have lived on the cruise ship! The ship had a mini golf deck, a small water park, they even had a all you could eat café. The lobby deck was where everyone hung out. O the lobby deck they had a jacuzzi, and two saltwater pools. On the inside portion they had a ping pong table, and a ice cream machine right next to it. When we went to the diner on the deck under the lobby they do eight o’clock special where they dance and sing to a song of choice.

The food there was really good considering it is on an island because they get all their food shipped in by boat. They had dessert after every meal besides breakfast. You had a choice between lemonade, fruit punch, and water to drink. They also called seconds if you were still hungry.

I can just picture it now the sandy beaches, beautiful sky, and I gagging because the salt water that got in my mouth was disgusting. When I went to Hawaii I had the time of my life. There were just a few things that were annoying, but I spent all of it with my family and that’s what mattered.

We came and checked in and we got our rooms. We were very hungry so we went to a fancy restaurant. Our experience there was very amazing. We went to our hotel room and changed into our bathing suits. Into the ocean we went. It was a little bit of a walk, but it was worth it. We swam the whole day and eventually it got to nighttime. Then we moved on to our nightly

My family and I gathered our luggage and boarded a shuttle bus that dropped us off at the resort. I had no idea what to expect, but as soon as we got of of the shuttle bus at the resort and a woman handed me a warm towel to wash my hands, and a cool drink of tropical punch, I knew right away that I was going to like this place!

I just returned from an amazing vacation. I went with my family on a cruise ship for 7 days. Our ship was called Oasis of the Seas and is the second largest passenger ship created; we had 6,400 people on board. It was so big it had a full volleyball/basketball court, a mini golf course, a zipline, an ice skating rink and 21 pools/hot tubs. This isn't even half of the crazy ammenities they offer on board. They also offer shore excusions for the various countries we stopped in. This was very important to me as I had never left the country before then. The Oasis docked in Mexico, Jamacia and Haiti. More specifically we docked on the island of Cozumel in Mexico. In Cozumel we took a snorkling tour to the Palancar and Columbia reefs led by Diving Captain Carlos. It was my first time snorkling and it was amazing. The water was perfectly clear and we could see over 150 feet. We had beautiful views of coral and rock formations and well as tons of marine life. We saw 3 sea turtles, a school of young barracudas and one huge 5 foot long barrcuda that was scarred and battle

Have you ever wrecked the world’s second largest cruise ship by accidentally setting it on fire, causing 8,500 people to evacuate in lifeboats right before it sank? Yeah, me neither. However, I did take for granted 2,384 crewmembers serving me for seven days straight while I caught a tan and gained a few hundred pounds by eating free food 24/7. Instead of being on an 18-deck cruise ship right now, I’m in class writing an essay of the time I was. Enjoy the memories you make because you can’t relive them once their gone or disappear out of class into a pool sipping a strawberry daiquiri.

Throughout the short story, The Birthday, the writer, Samantha Ashenhurst uses the writing tool: Get the name of the dog. To begin with, Samantha begins the story with a descriptive introduction, which gives the reader the ability to visualize the current circumstance’s atmosphere. For instance, the author mentions the specific kind of drink and pizza, the color of the blinds, the exact number of times she pukes, and takes medicine, etc. She describes the background’s setting in details as well. In my opinion, Samantha’s very specific, which portrays how honest she is. This also leads to building the writer’s own distinct voice. Thus, this effectively initiates a connection with the reader psychologically.

Like it was yesterday I remember my first vacation on a cruise. My Dad and I went on a three- day long cruise to The Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise, so it was a new experience for me. We needed to be in Tampa for our departure, so we drove the two hours from Orlando, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My Dad and I used this time to talk, make plans for the trip and think about our upcoming adventures on the cruise.

It was my seventh birthday and also one of the best days of my entire life. I had just opened up the last of my presents and was thanking my family for all the gifts they had given me for my birthday. When I heard a bark and turned around to see my dad holding what would be my favorite birthday present that I ever received. It was my first dog, an Irish Setter named Scarlet.
