Descriptive Essay About Vacation

I was sitting on a hot steamy white sand beach where the ocean was washing into the shore. Cinque Terre was a nice vacation spot to chill, relax, and go for a swim. Ninety-Five degree weather all day long, everyday. My family and I were staying in a small, no air-conditioning house with only 3 bedrooms. During our sleep, we forget to close the windows so little lizards come into our house and crawl up our walls. Cinque Terre is a great vacation spot for many family activities!

After traveling for 3-hours, my family arrived at our beach house in Ocean City Maryland. After making a quick trip for groceries, we decided to go to bed and set alarm clocks for early in the morning. After a good nights sleep, I woke up to the pleasant smell of bacon and eggs. After feasting on a delightful breakfast, my brothers and I began to get ready for the beach. We went down the creaky wooden stairs of our beach house and unlocked the storage room located beneath the home. I decided to carry both of the floral umbrellas while my brothers took the portable beach chairs. After grabbing all of our gear, we headed back up the weathered stairs and towards the distant sand dunes. As we approached the entrance of the sand dunes, the satisfying sounds of the ocean's waves started to become closer and closer. Once we traveled closer, the vivid orange sun began to ascend from the deep sea. At this early point in the morning, the sand walkway enclosed by dunes, hadn't heated up from the sun, so the sand had a soothing feeling of cool sand between each toe. Upon reaching the shore, we noticed that not many beachgoers had set up their

It was a sunny Friday afternoon when I decided to take my observations with me out into the world. This day happened on my spring break, in the beginning of April, my senior year. As I walked upon the beach the salty, floating breeze of Panama City was enough to make my knees go weak. I looked into the clear blue sky and saw the perfection of life. I took a moment to gaze about what nature has offered to me. Everything on this beach has its own unique feel and it has its own way of making you feel calm and relaxed.

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.

On November 5th, 2012 in Staten Island, a woman named Glenda Moore had tried to escape the storm of Hurricane Sandy with her two boys -- Connor, 4, and Brandon, 2 -- to try and head towards dry land. On the monday morning Glenda risked driving herself and her two boys to safety in their blue Ford Explorer, only to get trapped in the catastrophic waters. While trying to get her sons out of the car quickly, she soon got separated from them, leaving them stranded and unknown of their surroundings. Frantically calling for help, Ms. Moore goes to her neighbors house yearning for help from him, but, he leaves ignoring her. On Thursday morning, both of the boys bodies were found lifeless. This is why the state of California needs to introduce a bystander law.

The young girl was rescued from a hotel pool after being found submerged for over three minutes. Fortunately, James was able to save the girl using his surf lifesaving skills that prepared him for emergency situations such as these. He mentioned that he “just went into autopilot”, and was able to effectively save the life of the three year old girl. His extensive training as a surf life saver prepared him to stay calm, assess the situation, and perform CPR in a stressful situation. He begun by first checking the young girl’s pulse which was non-existent at the time. Because she was unresponsive, he then moved straight into CPR which was an important decision that increased her chances of survival. James’ family members were also present at the scene and tried their best to remain calm and help James in whatever way they could. In the end, after several days in an intensive care unit, the young girl made a full recovery. This positive outcome was no doubt due to James’ quick thinking and first aid preparation. If the Chadwick family had not been there on the day of the accident, it is possible that the child may not have

Stepping out onto the beach one early morning I could hear the waves softly crash along the shore. Numerous birds nesting in the palm trees began to stir, and sing out early morning greetings. Although the sun had not yet come up, the beach was alive with surfers, like myself, preparing to some catch some waves. It was Christmas Eve, although at this Hawaiian beach it was a balmy seventy five degrees. I took in a deep breath, allowing the salty air laced with a smell of tropical flowers to fill my lungs. Wading out into the cool water, I hoped onto my board and paddled out farther from the shore to wait for the next big set of waves to come in. By this time, the sky had lightened up to a pale blue, but yet still streaked with the blackness

Ahhhhh. I looked at the laughing faces, broad smiles, and love that last a lifetime. I could taste the salty air drop in my mouth and the color of the sea was as blue and vibrant as a blueberry. I can't remember another time that I was happier. The laughs seemed endless, just like the swaying ocean. Me and my sisters stopped fighting, I finally stopped complaining, and all was finally good. I felt happy and bright, and I know that I don’t have to worry about my school work or my next gymnastics meet. Life was perfect in Hawaii. When I am mad I know I can think of this vacation to look back on and I can remember how my family was brought closer together and how the SIX HOUR plane ride was definitely worth it.

Searching for the perfect city to spend our vacation in, took time and effort. We eventually decided on Tamarindo; a small, coastal town with miles of beautiful beaches and tons of activities to keep families entertained. After we had finished exploring the beach where would probably be spending most of our time on, we loaded up in the rental SUV and drove down narrow, palm tree-lined streets that led to the condo we had reserved for the week. Most things in this Costa Rican town were in close proximity of each other. We passed some dark-skinned islanders riding bikes or walking, with their beach attire on, strolling down the busy sidewalks. The tropical, luxurious house our family would be staying at fulfilled our expectations and more. The front lawn flourished with towering palms, bushes of hot-pink hibiscus flowers, and dozens of native ferns. The inside did not fail to let us down with the upscale, spacious living areas.

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.
