Napa Valley Vacation Essay

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.

Unfortunately I see this conversation ending with Celeste and Jim both very upset and no solutions to the conflict being discussed. It seems that at the end of this scenario the conflict was beginning to spiral out of control, and communication was shutting down. It will end with Celeste and Jim blowing up at each other and not being willing to understand the others perspective about the situation. They will not talk for a while after this happens and Jim will hire Nikki as he intended to from the beginning. As a negative end to this conflict I see Jim and Celeste looking back over the conflict still trying to defend their position (retrospective goals).

Costa Rica is a very beautiful and unique place. It was my first time going there and I loved it! It was much different than the United States in ways I didn’t mind or even enjoyed. We saw many things and went many places while we were down there. I am ready to go back again already and do new, exciting things. However, we did a lot while we were down there.

When I was 14 my brother convinced me to sign up for the Mcconnel foundation Yosemite trip. I had to do a lot of community service which consisted of picking up trash on the side of the road and teaching the kids at my local elementary school about the environment and global warming. I got accepted and it was definitely one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I’m outdoorsy and love hiking but, this was a whole different level of hiking. The first couple days were really hard for me because of the extent of the hikes and hiking dozens of switchbacks a day. The yosemite made me realize how beautiful life is and I became a lot more outdoorsy. It helped me figure out who I am. I soon started spending most of my time outdoors fishing and hunting. The yosemite is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to and I’m extremely thankful that I had that experience.

When I was in fifth grade I started to play basketball, and I loved it. At that time basketball was the first sport I ever played in, and now that is my most favorite sport ever. I also play lacrosse and soccer. In the summer I like to sometimes do water activities at my cabin and lounge in the sun on the lake, on a paddle board, at the end of the dock, or on the pontoon or speed boat with a friend. My first ever vacation was to Arizona when I was in seventh grade. Me and my family hiked the grand canyon, went to Scottsdale, and did other things that I don’t remember. But that was during valentine's weekend and during basketball season so we bought a basketball and at night I would practice while my aunt and uncle were in the hot tub with my

Have you ever been in the middle of nowhere and hungry? Well, that was the case of my family on vacation in Oklahoma. Every year, my parents plan RV trips that we take mostly during summer, and some during the school year. One day while at home, my mom announced that we were going to Arkansas for a weekend. Although I was glad we were going on a trip, I wasn’t too thrilled about Arkansas. Arkansas? Really? I thought to myself. Within the next week, I found myself dreadfully in Arkansas with nothing to do. My parents decided it would be nice to go to downtown Oklahoma, since we were near the borderline, and there really was nothing to do at the park we decided to stay at.

As summer approaches, there’s only one way to beat the heat–lakeside! According to a 2005 summers survey conducted by the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA), over 70 percent of Americans will spend their summer splashing in lakes or heading to the beach for their vacation. Whether you’re planning a weekend away or spontaneously hitting the road, some of the best lakeside vacation destinations reside within our own National Park system.

Has anyone ever wondered what it would be like if it was summer all the time?

My friends and I are going on a road trip to California. We have five hundred dollars for the four of us to make it to California going on the mother road. We have decided to stop at several historic places along the way that we have deemed interesting.

Coming over the top of the Vaca Range shielding the east, the amazing countryside of Napa Valley reveals itself with the Mayacamas Mountains protecting in the south. Surrounded by mountains on each side, this beautiful sight is breathtaking. As the sun beats down, families come to picnic on the perfectly green grounds. They see the barns and cottages where people live and work as hot air balloons and fluffy white clouds protect the magical valley. Everything is at peace. The endless rows of green vines that will soon be harvested to create what Napa Valley is famous for, wine. The hardworking men and women spending days in the sun roaming through the vineyards, searching for the impeccable grapes to harvest. Constantly grooming the vines

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.

The time I went to Yosemite it was amazing an amazing experience. It was peaceful and all you heard in the morning the birds chirping it's like in those Disney movies you hear birds and it's so peaceful. In the morning I'd wake up brush my teeth get ready to eat breakfast and see what my Uncle had planned for us for the day. My favorite part about this trip I got away from my house and took a break from everything my phone,my homework just mostly the important stuff. I had a rough summer so it was a great way to start off fresh,good, and a happy year I wish my parents had came. I've never been camping before so there's gonna be a lot of “how beautiful, wows” etc the first day I got there was on a Friday morning my aunt had made breakfast and after breakfast we

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.

Tired of the busy everyday life? Tired of rushing to work every morning and then coming back home exhausted and then going to sleep, well if you are bored of this everyday schedule and need to have a break, the best option would be to refresh yourself in midst of nature.
