The Place at Newport Bay
Having a place that families or friends return to to vacation or visit is something that seems to be an experience that creates comfort and nostalgia over the years. These places are special because they become a tradition, a place that isn’t home, but almost feels as familiar as home. Newport Beach is this place for me and I never get tired of going. I think this is because I have been going since I was a small child and, while it is familiar, I also find something new to enjoy each time I visit. While I had travelled before with my family, I didn’t have many vivid memories of our travels and vacations; however, when I was five, maybe six, I do remember one of our trips to Newport Beach. In fact it is one of my strongest memories at this age. I remember getting ready to go for spring break, my mom telling me how much fun we would have, that we could buy a bag of salt water candy at the sweet shop along the bay, that we would go to a cool aquarium and see sharks, and that we could search for shells along the beach - it sounded amazing.

As a little kid the most important part of the trip was the candy I was promised. I don’t remember much from my first trip there, as I was very young, however I do remember, quite vividly, the sweet shops on the Newport bayfront boardwalk. Walking into the store there were buckets and buckets of salt water taffy. I was overwhelmed by all the choices of the signature coast candy and I had no idea what to choose. I was told by my mom that I could get a whole pound of taffy. A pound of candy was like a getting a thousand dollars, except a thousand dollars would have gotten me a lot more candy. I wouldn’t go back to Newport for a few years and by then I would have changed a good
With soaring temperatures, pool parties during the day and the hottest clubs in the country to heat up these hot nights, there’s no place like Las Vegas in the summer. However, having an equal opportunity appreciation for more traditional summertime fare, Sin City Press hit the road for a few days to visit a different, yet equally popular summer destination, scenic and historic New England. During the summer of 2015, we visited three unique travel destinations, and here’s what we found: Located approximately 35 miles from the state capital of Providence, historic and picturesque Newport Rhode Island has played host to many filming locations for both movies and television, and has been the subject of just as many features in print (notably, Theophilus North). Thanks to Ms. Andrea Carneiro, Director of Communications for the Newport Preservation Society, we were able to visit one of the city’s most notable attractions, the Newport Mansions.

This is what my most recent vacation was like aboard a cruise that sailed to Mexico. In the past, my vacation was always the same. It consisted of a twenty-one hour drive to Clearwater, Florida and we stayed at the same, beachfront condo with shopping centers directly behind us. It was always nice staying there, but it was the
I just started working at Oyster Harbors Club a few weeks ago, but my experience there has been wonderful. It has been an honor life guarding on the beach, and getting to know all the families and the children attending camp. I enjoy working in such a friendly family environment, and I am excited to work next summer as well. My educational plans for the future consist of acquiring my bachelors degree in biology that would help me in pursuing a medical career as a doctor. My passion has always been helping others whether it is at work, making sure people are safe, or giving back to my community. After becoming a certified doctor, I plan on specializing in dermatology. I am a very hard
Although short and non-eventful, the battle of Hampton roads, during the Civil war, showed the world the future of warship construction, forever changing Naval Warfare. After visiting the past through the museums exhibits, I believe in order to understand this battle in its entirety, one must not only look at the battle itself but the events leading up to it.

Florida’s Treasure Coast is the common appellation given to the Florida coastal section, which extends from the Inlet in the north to south of Hobe Sound. It comprises all the coastal counties of Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin. The region has a rich history that goes back 300 years, where Spanish galleons replete with gold and silver, shipwrecked off the southeastern Florida shore, losing all their treasure to the deep waters. Treasure Coast provided pirates and smugglers with sanctuary during the 18th century. The Spanish explorers drove the first human inhabitants, the Timucuan Indians, from Treasure Coast, beginning with their arrival in 1528. By the 19th century, small communities began to appear as settler moved into the region. Today, the Treasure Coast is a unique mix of small town, laid-back, beautiful beach communities, and a popular family vacation destination.

My favorite vacation, so far, is one I went on in September 2015 with my friends Alissa and Jaidah. We all share fandom interests. On the weekend of September 19, my brother went away to spend his birthday with my dad. My mom shook me awake and informed me I could bring two friends along to a room in the Dells that we would be occupying. Almost immediately I thought of the duo. I ran downstairs and texted both of them while packing a bag. They texted back not too long after, and I told them my mom and I would pick them up anywhere from 10-11 that Saturday morning. We picked up Alissa and she tried to direct us to Jaidah’s house, but she wasn’t thorough with her
When I was in eighth grade I went on my first trip out of the country to Nassau, Bahamas. Going on this trip was one of the most exciting and unforgettable times of my life. Not only was it a fun experience, it was also the first time I realized that I love traveling. While there I was lucky enough to visit many places, such as Blue Lagoon Island and the beautiful Atlantis Resort, and immerse myself in the Bahamian culture. My time in The Bahamas was not my only great memory from that trip. The journey to get to The Bahamas itself was also quite interesting.
Listening to the symphony of waves, discovering seashells, popping kelp bulbs and making footprints in the damp sand still evoke many of my fondest memories. My inner child playfully emerges to frolic whenever my bare feet find a sandy shore. Sunbathing on a beach towel has never appealed to me. Give me a boogie board, inner tube, surfboard, kayak or sailboat to fill my scrapbook with memories.
When I was a child, I and my grandmother took a trip to my Dad hometown, Kingston, Jamaica. Kingston is the capital and largest city of Jamaica, located on the southeastern coast of the island. In his hometown, there is not much to do on any night of the week, so many nights I found myself walking around town looking at the beautiful lights and buildings. After an hour of walking I often gets tired, and head home for some rest. Although it’s bored at night, that was not a problem at all many people like the night quit instead. It a whole lot of fun in the day time, most especially on the beach, it was always a great turn up spot. The other day we went on the beach it was very nice and hot outside. I went in the water it was very warm and salty after a few I left the water, I was sitting by the coconut tree, eating some fresh coco nut, and my grand brought me a fresh fish out the water, they cook it right there and I ate some. in fact that’s was my first time to eat a fish fresh out the water. I will never forget this memory, because this was one of my best vacation, I had over my winter break.
