Descriptive Vacation

It was a seven hour flight to get from New York City to Guayaquil, Ecuador. After going through customs I was finally greeted by my colleague, whom I would be working on this research with. Our flight to the Galapagos was not until the next day so we decided to rent a car to take a small trip to a different island, off the coast of Ecuador.

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.

I woke up as the plane was landing after falling asleep and not even noticing when it happened, but i pulled up the plane window cover and saw a tropical weather and a big city. As the plane came down lower every second that passed and that made even more excited as every second passed. Wondering what it would be like, it was getting dark and I knew that after I got out the guatemala city airport I knew it would be it would be completely dark, it was kinda upsetting but i thought, ¨well it is what it is¨ we settled once we got out in that huge city. All we could do was wait for the day to pass and wait for the day of tomorrow that was gonna be really exciting for me in personal.

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.

Miami, FL. Known for its sunny days and best vacation spot. Also known for the Miami Dolphins football team and Miami Heat basketball team. But to me? It was known as my home. My beginning. The beginning of avoidable things, trouble. Currently, I was the Miami Heat stadium watching Dwyane Wade shoot a winning three. Satisfied that the team I was rooting for won, I gathered my belongings and proceeded my way out of the stadium. Arriving at my grandmother’s house, I notice my uncle, whom I rarely see besides on special occasions, was there. Surprised, I stepped in greeting my grandma with a hug and kiss, then moved on to my uncle. “Hey Uncle Gerry,” I cooed. Cringing at the response, I received a simple, “Hey trouble”. God, I hated that nickname. Why? I mean if you’d listen, you would’ve stayed out of it and received a better nickname right? My inner thoughts screamed at me. Rolling my eyes, I pushed the thoughts back but they were right. I should’ve listened to her. Shaking my head, I made my way to the upper part of the living room waiting upon my mother’s arrival to take me home.

On a hot summer day when my family and I were finally going to Hawaii I was the first one to have all my bags packed and to be out the door. I waited in the car for my family by watching my favorite youtuber on my phone. I was losing my patience because my parents were taking forever.

Summer 2014, it was a memorial summer, the time between secondary and highschool, when you have to say goodbye to your old friends and prepare to go to a new school, meet new friend, live in a new environment. In class, I only hang out with 4 dudes, so we planned to have a summer trip to say goodbye to each other. It supposed to be a 7 days trip, but we gotta cut it down to 4 because lack of money. The first day of the trip was good, we had an amazng time, we checked in at the hotel very late at night, I was very tired so I just jumped to bed instantly. Closed my eye, I can heard the the sound of the wave outside because our hotel is next to the beach, I started to fall asleep, wait I felt the wind coming toward me, no im falling down, I screamed, opened my eyes, it just a dream, I checked the clock, it was 5:30am, nobody was there, “Oh!”: I said, they must have gone to the port by now, it was a idea of one of my friends, sailing overnight on a fisher-boat, I thought it was a stupid idea so I refused and decided to stay at the hotel. I looked out of the window, the sun was starting to rice, I opened the window, I can smell the sea, it was so peaceful, I can see some couples walking, “This is heaven.” I thought to myself. Picked up my phone, I went to the bathroom, locked the door, I sat down on the toilet, played some pointless game on my phone, it was very hot in here so I started to sweat a lot, usually I spent like 30 mins in the toilet just surfing the internet but this

Last summer my mom and I flew down to Colorado. It was one day that my mom was thinking about flying down there, for her mom’s birthday. So there was a little bit of discussion, about who, and when we're going to the party. I myself have never, been on an airplane, my mom has been on an airplane. So it was very new to me. So we decided, that we we're going to go to Seattle, then from Seattle, take an airplane to Colorado. My oldest sister drove us to the airport. We flew from Anchorage to Seattle. In Seattle, me and my mom ate sushi, cookies and had coffee. It was amazing.Then we took an airplane to Colorado. When we tried to fly off, from Seattle, it was very foggy, so it took us maybe more than an hour to try to fly off. It was scary, but I slept through most of it.

“I can’t wait!” I screamed on the plane which was a ten hour and fourteen minute flight laid ahead of us. This was the first time we were traveling some where far that wasn’t India, Dubai, or Mexico. All I could think about in the car ride to the hotel was what this exhilarating trip had in store for us and all of the tourist attractions I anticipated seeing. The only thing I was focused on when I got to the hotel was that it was 9:30 at night and my mom's birthday. Jet lag prevented us from celebrating and instead we fell asleep early. That night I dreamt of the adventures that we were to experience the next day.

I rushed up the slippery, cold, wet stairs to get in line for the next slide. This place is too good to be true, I thought. As if she could read my mind, my best friend Parker agreed, this vacation has been the best trip ever. Parker and I are vacationing in Florida with our families for spring break. We had pestered our parents for a trip to Disney World, but we settled on an island resort in Florida. Now I am super happy we chose this place. From the best restaurants to the best water park ever, I couldn’t have asked for more. Parker and I spent the whole day all at one pool, only going on three slides. After we had tired ourselves out, we headed back to our condos to meet our families.

In my twenty-one years, I’ve taken some amazing vacations to some absolutely, beautiful places. These places, however, pale in comparison to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I can remember being a young child and taking my first true, out-of-state vacation there. Since then, my family and I have gone there almost every year. Perhaps that is why I feel such a deep connection to this breathtaking spot.

I was more than ready to enter Watiki Indoor Water Resort in Rapid City, South Dakota on July 26, 2016 I set a towel down on the beach chair. I was so excited to make the third day of vacation GREAT!!!!

My friend Wilson and I were at the airport, we had our suitcases in hand and were ready to board the plane. I was kissing my wife goodbye and said, “I’ll be back soon Hun.”

The sky was blue as far as the eyes could see. There were a few white clouds that had a
