My Hawaii Vacation

Beth was an interesting woman to say the least. She was very talkative and had an eccentric personality. She might have been a smidge under the influence on this very normal afternoon but she was still a nice and fun person to talk to. Ashley and Kevin and I got to know her and all about her family all too well sitting at the bar at TGI Friday’s.

In 2012, my dad’s entire side of the family made the decision to take a trip to Maui, one of the five islands of Hawaii. Maui is by far one of the most beautiful and exotic places I have ever traveled to. There are two things that I remember the most: snorkeling at our resort and attending a luau. Going to the luau was one of the coolest things I have ever been able to experience. The food was so good, especially the purple potatoes and pineapple. This was truly an amazing experience of Hawaiian culture. We also took a drive up Mt. Haleakala which is a mountainous volcano. We got up at 4:00 in the morning so we could be there to see the sunrise. We were high above the clouds. The view was breathtaking but so cold! Hawaii is definitely somewhere I would travel back

Before going to Hawaii, most of my summer and Christmas vacations were spent traveling to visit family. My dad was in the military, so when he was given leave, we were always going back to our hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we went to Georgia to visit our relatives in Augusta. So imagine my surprise when, as a present for doing great in school the previous year, my parents decided to take me and my sisters to Hawaii for the summer! Once we packed our suitcases and planned our travel itinerary, we were on a plane and headed from Texas, where we lived, to Hawaii. I’m sure the process was a bit more complicated than that, but I was only 13 years old and didn’t realize that at the time.

My summer of 2017 consisted of visiting places all over the United States such as New York City, Washington D.C., and Florida. Not only did traveling this summer teach me new things, but it also made me go outside my comfort zone and experience new things. This was single-handedly the best summer of my life and wish I could relive it over again.

“The best things in life are the people we love the places we’ve been…. And the memories we’ve made along the way.” by Unknown. 2017 started off terrible but then soon got better from a little help from God. My family found out we won a trip to Hawaii. My parents were deciding whether or not they should take us kids with, my brothers Chris was 18, Matt was 11, Nic was 8, and I was 15. Then my parents talked and the decided that it would be our last family vacation with just our family saying chris went to college the next year and probably will find a girlfriend. Hawaii I know made me look at life a different was saying everything that just happened to me.

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.

As a child, I believed that I was invincible. Nothing stood in my way and if it did, I just tore the obstacle down from the source. Whether it was trees to climb, pools to jump in, or wild hair getting in my way; I always overcame them. There was point in my childhood though, I realized not everything was under my control and power. I didn’t receive everything I desired like I was believing. My childhood untainted mind was rocked with a new discovery and mindset. Of all places for this change to happen, it was on a family vacation to Disney World.

If you're planning a trip to Maui, Hawaii then you should consider finding a great Maui Bed and Breakfast to stay in. That Maui Bed and Breakfast will have great accommodations, like a garden and historic room, but with a more personal feel than a hotel.

It is a torrential, snowy day in late December in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Outside lies men in coats as thick as armor trying to plow away the snow as it falls. Their hands are numb and their efforts are proved useless in such long waves of endless snow. You are trying to navigate through the storm along the streets in a cold, metal car. Snowflakes pile on the windshield and block your view of the road. This does not seem like a lot of thrilling excitement! I know our family would better benefit from being elsewhere rather than being huddled up by a fire inside the house. I want our family to take a trip to Florida during winter break because our family could escape from cold weather, it would be another amazing place to bond as a family, and it would be an inexpensive trip if planned well.

I had no idea where to go, so I decided to take my brother’s advice and follow a nice looking family, hoping they would lead me to the baggage claim. Once I got off the plane and into the airport, that plan fell apart. It was packed with noisy people running around all over the place, with mini cars full of people honking to get past. I soon lost the family I was following and ended up standing in the sea of people. I found a flight attendant and asked for her help. She pointed me in the direction of my baggage claim and told me what numbers to look for. After walking for what seemed like an eternity, I finally found the room. Luckily, it took forever for the bags to come out, so I had time to call my friend. They were lost trying to find what gate I was at, and since I was lost I couldn’t help them much. Once I spotted my bag, I decided to try and figure out how to get outside. As I made my way around the terminal, I spotted an exit sign with the gate number on it. I told my friend the number and waited outside by the road for them. I was scared to wait alone with all these strangers surrounding me, it was causing my hands to get clammy. As I was waiting, three different men came up to me and asked if I wanted to go downtown with them. That’s when I really started to get a sick feeling in my stomach. Luckily, as one was talking to me, my friend to save me from the awkward encounter. I had so much fun on my trip, but the real problems started on my way

As everyone grows up and learn new things. They also travel and get to see new places. There are different places that people admire, whether it is close or far. My favorite place that i've been to is the big island of hawaii. Although I don't go to hawaii that often ,it is still a special place to me .

On Thursday September 21 Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico head on which caused catastrophic damage to the island. But that's not even the worst of it. The next day on Friday, September 22 reports that the Guajataca dam had been broken as a result of the hurricane the previous day. Millions of people are going through what could essentially be the most devastating time of their life. These citizens need all the support and help they can get and that's why if I had a ticket to go anywhere in the world I would go to Puerto Rico.

It was cool summer morning. Moisture in the air, from last nights rain, the sun hadn't even hadn't even gotten the chance to show itself yet. It was four in the morning and we were leaving our house to go to Denver International Airport and flying to Washington D.C. We arrived at D.I.A, at approximately four fifty-five in the morning. Groggily my brother and I stepped out of the car. My dad and I carried the bags to the luggage check. One was a Bronco orange with a gray zipper lining and a pull out handle for wheeling. The second bag was a forest green with a black zipper. Our flight was scheduled for six in the morning so we took are time getting through security and getting a McDonalds from inside the airport. We got to our terminal and weighted for an hour. Then at about five forty-five this lady, probably in her mid thirties came over and told us that the plane had gotten in late from Houston and would be a half an our late. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but since we were taking a flight to

Everyone wants to go to Hawaii, well, unless they don't like the perfect weather, gorgeous oceans, and beautiful plants. When I found out I was going to Hawaii for the first time, I almost died, figuratively speaking of course. When people say they almost die, it is almost immediately assumed that they are joking. Before going on my dream vacation, I could say that I was always being over dramatic when saying that, but in January of 2013, it all changed.
