Descriptive Essay About Vacation

It was early November 2009, and I was very excited to go see my aunt and uncle up in the Twin Cities the next day. We were eating at Pizza Ranch with some family and friends that night, and when we left, my babysitter and a few other people told me, “Have fun at J and Lindsey’s.” Everybody else knew what was in store for us, but my almost-four-year-old brother, Owen, and I (six years old at the time) had no idea that the very next day we would be flying to Orlando, Florida, on a surprise trip to Disney World.

It was the day after my sister's Quinceanera, and all my family was here. They were leaving back to their homes Monday morning, so keep in mind it is Sunday. All of our parents were talking outside and saw that us kids didn’t really have anything to do, so they decide to take us to a river that was 5 minutes away from my aunt's ranch. We packed up all our food and stuff and went right away.

First, we had to go to the airport which was Kci. We had all of our luggage packed and we were ready to get to Florida so we can get on the boat. Before we even think about getting on the boat we have to take a plane to Florida. The plane ride took four hours but the time flew by with the things we did on the plane,

When I was in Mrs. Drawdy’s class and I left early to go to the island called Hawaii. I got to bring two of my friends with me and my brother took two of his friends. Then we went to the airport to go to the Hawaii.

A few years back on a perfect summer day, my friends and I decided to go out on my boat, the Floating Irishman. My dad, the captain, began to sail off out of the marina into the nice calm water; it seemed like a perfect day to go out. We went out about ten miles away from the marina and decided it was a terrific spot to throw out the anchor. Once we were securely into the ground below, we threw out some floats attached to the boat and started swimming. My dad had given us a few safety precautions; the most important was “Do not go past the blue float.” That was the furthest float away from the boat which went out about 25 feet back. Everyone was having a great time pushing each other off of the float and swimming around in the river; definitely a day to remember.

We went on a four and a half mile bike ride. It was all fun in games until we reached our second mile. The rest of our bike ride was filled with hills. Everything was uphill from now. Our legs felt like jello. After the long journey, we returned our bikes and drove to Aspen, Colorado. A bus took us to the start of the hikes and takes us back to the lobby area. It was about a nine mile drive. At the beginning of the hike, you get an option of whether you want to take the scenery hike or the crater hike. Of course, Mike makes us go through the crater one. We had to hike up that mountain filled with huge rocks and streams. It was one of the hardest things to do in my life because not only was I tripping over the rocks and branches, but there were giant poisonous spiders hiding everywhere. It took us about an hour and thirty minutes to reach the top. We lost track of time and we had to get back to the bus in 40 minutes or else it will leave without us and we would have to walk 9 miles back to the car. We practically ran down that mountain. Of course, my little cousin trips from behind me and we slid into the stream. I am not going to lie, that cold water felt really good, but we were soaked. I ran the rest of the way down with heavy, squishy shoes. I did not think it was possible to run that fast for so long, but somehow we mastered

The next week, I got all dressed up and met up at a local restaurant my brother worked at called Austin’s. I could easily say that it was and still is my absolute favorite. We ordered our food sat there and talked for hours. There were points in the night where I could feel people around us staring because of how hard we would laugh.

One of the crew members asked my dad, “Would you like to bet on you or your son to catch the biggest fish today.” My dad answered by saying, “No.” The crew on the boat taught me how to use a fishing rod. We waited downstairs of boat eating snacks, getting drinks, and talking about if we thought we were going to catch a fish today. I have since learned that hanging out with my friends outside of school is very different from school and it creates a stronger friendship. As the boat continued moving to get to the fishing location where my friends and I were playing with the bait by making them kiss and feeding them to the seagulls. The fresh air on my face had a nice feel and the smell of the Pacific Ocean was very pleasant and

When we were on our way back to the airport we slept most of the time. We first flew to texas and only had to stay there for 1 hour which wasn't that long compared to the other wait. From texas we went to indianapolis. When we got there it was around 11a.m. My grandpa was waiting for us and then we head home. It was an hour in the car. When we got home my mom was happy to see me and we showed her the pictures and the souvenirs. Then i went to my room and slept for 2

It was a bagel restaurant where everything was made out of bagels. I thought it was super cool as I looked through the menu, there was bacon and eggs, pizza,some vegetarian and original. I didn 't feel like eating even though everything looked really good so instead I got sprite.12 hours passed and we made it through all the security stuff , it was kinda of scary even though I didn 't do anything bad but in my mind I felt like I did. After we got our stuff we started boarding the plane, there wasn 't a lot of people which was good because I don 't like big crowds. We took off at 6:15 and it took 2 hours and 48 mins to get to cancun , which gave me enough time to sleep and get some music in before we land. In the airplane it was quiet peaceful , I looked at the window and saw the beautiful view. “ Oh I can 't wait to get to our resort.” I whispered to myself.

As soon as I felt the humid, coastal breeze, I was greeted by the cream-colored, grainy sand. You could hardly tell the difference between the horizon line and where the water began; blue was definitely the popular color here. The day had just begun, and there were maybe a total of 20 people taking advantage of this picture-perfect day. My family and I were here for our annual summer getaway. Wanting to go somewhere tropical, the choice had been given to me and my brother. Just in the short hour that we had been in Costa Rica, we were already pleased with our selection.

Everyone can imagine their own perfect getaway. My vacation to Orlando became the magnum opus summer trip. Before, most of my vacations with my family consisted of locations in Oklahoma and Texas. However, Orlando provided serendipitous moments of my life.

The only sound that filled my ears was my keyboard clicking as my fingers raced across it. I had been procrastinating from finishing this assignment all evening, but I knew I needed to get it done. The burning sunset was shining through the windows as I was finishing up. It was a peaceful silence, until I heard the soft whispers of my parents that ignited my sense of curiosity. I was concentrating hard; doing my best trying to make out the hushed words that were being spoken.

After you choose your destination the next thing you must do is reserve your airfare and hotel. This may be tough because there are many websites and travel agents that you can go through. I have found that it is cheaper and easier to go through Expedia.com. You can book your hotel and flight all together and pay one low price. I have also found that flying with Southwest Airlines is very cheap and they have many one way stops all across the country and for a cheap hotel that is very nice I recommend the Extended Stay America.
