It was March 27, 2016; my family and I were all leaving to go to Las Vegas for Spring break. We finally left at 9:30 am and are plane was leaving around 11:45. We were in the car for about 2 hours to go to Des Moines. My sister and I sat together while Jeff and my mom were sitting behind us on the plane. All I did on the plane was sleep and listen to music.
We finally got to the airport in Las Vegas so we started walking to the taxi lane. A taxi came for us and it was a van taxi. The man helped us with are bags and put them in the back of the van. Jeff (my step dad) asked him how long he's been a taxi person. The man said for about 4 years and how the first time he first came to las vegas they drove from Kansas city to Las Vegas and he said that it took him three days to get there with him and his family. We finally got to our hotel it had these figures on top of the hotel. The hotel was called Harrahs.
We went inside and there was slot machines everywhere. It was a casino inside a hotel combined with food too. The smell of smoke really stung my nose at first until I got used to the smell. My mom went to go check us in at the check in table. It took at least an hour until we got to the table. They said that our hotel room was not ready

While we were going to are room we went to the elevators and they looked like a king version with a mirror at the top and carpet on the bottom. We finally got to our hotel room. We opened the doors you could automatically see the huge glass windows that showed the strip. Then you see an unfoldable couch with a sink over on the side and refrigerator, there was also another room with two beds and a bathroom hooked to that part of a room. The bathroom had a toilet that was on the right with a privacy door the bathtub that was right when you walk in and the shower was on the right so the bathtub was right in the middle of the two and two
On June 28th 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Fernidad, the heir of the Austro-Hungarian throne, ignited the “July Crisis” in Europe. Industrialized nations were competing to occupy colonies for resources in order to grow their economies. Hence, creating alliances was essential for these imperialist governments to assure military and economic support. There were two rival blocs of alliances in Europe: The Triple Entente, which consisted of Britain, France, and Russia; and the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. In the beginning of these hostilities, U.S. played a neutral role trying to keep stability, solve these problems peacefully, and to trade with all the warring nations. However, this did
It was December 26th when I was fixing to leave for Gulf Shores, Alabama with my boyfriend T.J. and his family. We originally were supposed to leave until December 27th, but they decided they wanted to leave a day early and stop in Nashville for the night. I had to be at his house at eight-thirty to get all of my things loaded up, because they were wanting to leave at nine.
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.
We reserved a master hotel room. We noticed there was a kitchen that's an island. There is a mini refrigerator,stove,microwave,plates,bowls,forks,spoons, butter knives,and cups. In the living room there was a black slim sofa,flat screen tv,and Glacier white PS4, also with Glacier white controllers. There was a note in the living room table it says. The PS4 is for free we have a lot of them they are very new. Next, was two rooms one for Michael,and for me. There was a bed with a pillow,sheets,and blankets. There is a closet,flat screen tv,and a bathroom.Afterward we looked around the building and we decided to play video
My first trip to Disney World, now that, that was a memorable trip. That trip was one of the most magical and happiest memories of my life. It was back in 2008, I had just turned 6 years old a few months before we left to go there. It was summertime, and the weather was perfect. I remember being so bored on the way there because I am an only child so I didn’t have anyone to entertain me besides myself. My mom’s side of the family went on this trip with us, and at the time I was the only grandkid, and the only kid at all. So once we finally were almost there I remember passing the big ‘Welcome to Disney World” sign and being so excited I peed my pants--my mom was pretty mad, but my dad thought it was kinda funny so I didn’t get in too much trouble.

This story happened about 6 years ago. We were taking a family trip to florida. It was me, my brother, my mom, and my dad. The day before we left we where in the house getting our stuff ready for the long drive. Once that night came its was about 5:00 when we left the house super early. We left our house and had a 16 hour drive ahead of us.
It was December 4 days into holiday break and my dad took me somewhere. Now I grabbed my packed bags and got in the car and we took the long drive east to the Denver airport and we went to a gate for frontier airlines and waited 4 hours the flight should have left at 12:00am but it was delayed and the plane took 4 hours to get ready to take off.
Show girls, Bet and Ernie from Sesame street, Thor, the guy from the Hangover complete with baby in snuggie, and of course what's vegas without at least 2000 Elvis impersonators running around. While the sounds of slot machines filled the inside of the hotels, outside you might just literally run into anything. My wife loved the Bellagio water fountain show, we arrived just in time to here Pink Panther theme song playing with water flowing in rhythm. Watching the fountains reminded me of watching the Rockets, the water spirts curved and swayed with the beat of the music, leaving on lookers amazed and in awe, of how such a show was created. So many things were going on until my camera became a permenant fixture to my hand, the very moment I put it away, I was sureto miss something. All of the hotels/ casinos while one was shaped like a pyramid another looked like a pirate ship or Venice Italy complete with a gondala both inside and outside. A replica of the Effiel tower stood tall. And high roller which is the name of this large ferris wheel reminded us of "The Eye" in
After dating for two years, my boyfriend Steven and I finally got to go on our first vacation together. The two people that made it all possible are Steven’s Aunt and Uncle, Erin and Bobby. They were generous enough to finance our trip to Las Vegas, although they didn’t know me beforehand. They took us to many adventures and were very accepting of me. Erin and Bobby made an incredible impact on me with their loving spirit and generosity.
This is going to be about the first nerve racking time I rode a plane. It was 3:00 A.M. and I was getting up to go to the the airport. I wasn’t to thrilled that I was getting there that early but, it was worth it. We left for the airport and we first had to go to this parking lot where we left our car while we were on vacation. I was kind of nervous on leaving our car there but as a ride to the airport, we got a limo to the airport. I felt so cool riding to the airport in a limo.
February 2012: it was a sunny day with blue skies and birds chirping. I was on my way home from school. I was going to take a nap due to the lack of sleep i had last night, but i had to do homework first. so shortly after i heard the door screech open and it was my mother. She came to check on me and asked what i was doing
Let me start this off by saying that I feel judged every second of every day. But considering you didn’t ask for a narrative of my life, I’ll stick to telling you just one story.
I remember pulling into the musky smelling hotel covered in muted shades of reds and grays. It was fairly decent. I assume on a nice day it could even be considered proper, but perhaps the rain and the mood of that day became a bit more pessimistic than I like to admit because to me the place looked like crap. I remember being lead to hotel room 209, it was swarming with police and the only sound so heard was the sobbing of a mother and the constant questioning of
Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, tells the story of the little town of Maycomb in Alabama. On the first view, Maycomb looks like a town without any problems, but actually Maycomb is split by racism and intolerance. Scout, the protagonist of the story lives with her older brother, Jem, and her father, Atticus. Most of the summer Scout, Jem and Dill, a friend, try to find out who Boo Radley is and why he stays in his house and never comes out. Atticus is a lawyer and defends Tom Robinson; a black man that is accused of taking advantage of Mayella Ewell. Actually, Tom Robinson never bothered Mayella. But since Tom was so nice to her, she falls in love with him and tries to kiss him. Unfortunately, her father sees them, accuses Tom of taking advantage of his daughter, and beats Mayella up so she doesn’t tell anybody. The consequences of racism ranges from prejudices and discrimination to the murder of innocent humans which can only be stopped through wisdom, courage, and steadfastness.
