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!

Have you ever been on a vacation? To me a vacation is a time to be with friends or family. When I think of vacations, I think of packing, the flight or drive, and relaxation. Not only is it very exciting to go on a vacation, but you get closer to the people that go with you.

Choosing vacations destinations can become a stressful process. However, if the goal is to find locations outside of the United States and wan to travel to countries in the Caribbean and Latin America I have a few suggestions for you. Negril, Jamaica and Cancun Mexico are among the best vacations spots I have ever visited. The beaches, the accommodations, and the food is amazing in both countries.

The next few days were full of time at the beach and experiencing many new things. Ernie took us to almost every place in town. The first spot we went to was the local grocery store to get food that we could make at the house. The grocery store was so full of people that it looked like a shopping mall on Black Friday. I saw many bizarre foods that I had never seen at home before. We also went to an elementary school, which was very different than any school I had seen at home. Almost all of it was outside and all of the classrooms were disconnected from each other. It was really interesting to see something so different. Later that night, we went to the town’s carnival. The few rides that they did have were so rickety that my parents were scared when my sister and I were on them. They were giving away many strange things as prizes, including pet chickens and alcohol to anyone who wanted it. A 12 year old boy won a beer at one of the games and gave it to my dad. Even though it was different than any other fair I had been to, it was still an interesting experience.

So we got our luggage, and hauled it up to our rooms. After that, we went to bed for the night. After driving for about 3 and a half hours, that was some well needed rest. The next morning, we woke up, watched some TV, went and ate some breakfast, then got dressed for the day. A little while later, Ms. Rea came to get us, so we could leave the hotel. After we had left the hotel, we got some gas then hit the road. During the ride I was excited, because I had never been to Texas before. On the way there, me and Carson watched Superman I, until we got aggravated with our DVD player, because it would freeze up at certain parts. So after a little while of doing it, we just turned it off. We pretty much just talked all the rest of the way there. Then we got to Dallas. It was a pretty city, it also has some tall buildings. A little bit of the way through Dallas I saw it in the distance, AT&T Stadium, and I was so pumped! The stadium was in the distance, because even though they are the Dallas Cowboys, they technically play in Arlington. After we got through Dallas we saw Six Flags. It was cool, because it was such a big amusement park. Also, what was ironic was that we saw the Superman ride there. There was not

Calaveras Enterprise sports reporter Guy Dossi met up with Calaveras High School head track and field coach Doug Avrit Monday afternoon before practice. Dossi spoke with Avrit about the recent spring break, the Stanford Invitational and about two basketball players who are new to the team.

So one day our family decided to go to Disney World with her family. It was our family, our aunts family, my mom’s parents, and Emmy and Bear. We took 2 cars, 6 people in each. It took us a whole 11 hours to get there! When we got there we stayed in 2 apartments called New Orleans.

Before spring break had started I took a vacation to florida. Me, my sister, my baby sister, my grandma, my mom, and my mom’s boyfriend all flew to florida, it took us three hours to get there. When we had finally arrived I was ecstatic, even though I had been to florida two times when I was younger, it was even better this time.

Last summer my dad, stepmom, all three kids, our golden retriever, cleverly named Goldie, and I all piled into the family minivan and traveled up north to Kelly's Island, Ohio for a week-long camping trip. I will always remember that week of my life because of the fishing, hiking, and exploring we would do together as a family. I will remember the eleven mile run I ran circumferencing the island, watching my dad trying to cook hamburgers and hot dogs in the pouring rain from the comfort of my tent, and chasing Miles,

The trip was an unwelcome necessity, and my nineteen-year-old twins were given the choice not to go. “Mom, of course we want to go with you!” they both said. “None of the goodness you’ve taught us, shown us, and given us means anything if we can’t be there for family.”

I grew up on a lake and was longing to hit the beach. Little did I know, I would end up spending almost the entire time at the pool. My parents fought most of the trip. My mother spent the days drinking, while my dad wandered the city. At nights I only had the television to keep me company in the room as the adults went clubbing around the town. The trip couldn’t have gone worse,

In the summer of 2010, my family took a vacation to a state most people would consider unpopular. Most years, my family’s travels took us to the beach for sun and relaxation. However, this particular year my parents thought it was an opportune time for our family reunion where our extended family lived; Fargo, North Dakota. Not only was I unimpressed with the location but also disgruntled by our cross-country travels by minivan. Although I was underwhelmed by the thought of the excursion, little did I know it would change my outlook on life forever. After just two weeks away from home, this lesson of a lifetime prompted me to reassess my values and discover what mattered most; my family’s genuine love and support.

Parents and their children are stressed during the school year, whether it's providing for the family or homework. Family vacations may be stress reducing or enhancing depending on where you go, who you’re going with, and why you’re going.

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.
