Personal Narrative: Cancun, Mexico For Spring Break

Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.

A vacation that i took with my family and friends. We took a vacation to Panama City Beach, FL and that was my first time going to a beach swimming in the ocean but when got there and we ate and cross the road and there was a big pizza delivery truck. We when into the hotel and unload everything we had and we was staying on floor 18 so i was kinda scared of heights. The view from the 18 floor was amazing and the water and i seen some stingrays along the sandy beach and i was scared to swim in the ocean now but i did. When all of us ate lunch i went to the first floor and out the back door and straight into the sand but it was hot so i ran into the cool cold sea water. My cousin and me, we tried swim pretty far out but we was getting so tired of the waves pussing us back and back so we let the water take us back to shore and while we going back i stuck my head under water and i seen a little fish and i tried to grab it but the water was pushing me.

The weekend of October 20th will be a forever memory that I was glad to be a part of, with great friends and especially with that gorgeous thang by my side. Congratulations to Zack and Jessie, the happy newlyweds living the Forbes life in Cancun, will be one for the books! Also, celebrating my boy Grant and his Jordan birthday year with a little Fifth Harmony, Happy Birthday brother! Laughing always with our Sunday Funday group to wrap it up with a little corn maze and posting on the Facebook app at the gassy Blind Pig!

It is an amazing thought to think that I am sitting on a beautiful white sand beach in the South Pacific where there are no tourists!

We had been waiting for this trip for years. Every 5 years we go on a trip to someplace fun. When five years passed after our trip to disneyland we were all waiting to go on some other adventure. I had done this twice, but 2 things about our trip this year were special.

My mom, Kailli and I were spending our first week of summer in the hot dry sun of Palm Desert. As we were planning out our agenda for the next day, we came across a brochure for the Taquitz falls three miles deep into the hot Palm springs desert. We had to see it with our own eyes to believe it. A waterfall in the middle of the desert seemed bizarre, so the next morning we set off for our hike at six in the morning. After a couple bumps in the road we finally began our hike

It’s midday in June and the sun is at its peak, bathing the entire Yucatan peninsula in its warm yellow glow. The waves lap the shore of the resorts rhythmically, and the squawking tourists flock to the sandy beaches, hoping to eat up every last bit of the glorious sunlight. I pull out my phone and look on Google Maps; Michael and I make up a tiny pinpoint on the 26-mile coast, slowly working its way up towards the tip of the island, Zona Hotelera. We’ve been walking for almost 20 minutes, passing resort after resort and countless numbers of tourists, motivated by no more than boredom and possibly a hint of curiosity. I’m not quite sure what we’re looking for on the beach, hell, I’m not even sure why I’m in Cancun in the first place! What exactly was I looking for by coming here? Perhaps the fiasco that I called my senior year combined with my desperation to leave it all behind led me to embark on this international trip. I scan the open horizon and search as if I could find answers there. Yet I’m met with nothing more than a blinding reflection of the sun off the water. It’s hard to look away, with the mesmerizing rays of sunlight dancing off the tranquil ocean waves. It was hard to look away on that other day too.

During my freshmen year, my family decided that we were going to go on a cruise for Christmas, instead of buying presents. Two weeks before Christmas break, I left school early and we drove all the way to Miami, Florida. I went with my brother and sister, my parents, my grandparents, my aunt and uncle and their kids. M aunt and uncle and their kids flew to Miami, but the rest of us drove. We stayed in a hotel that was kind of on the ghetto side of town, and I found a baby roach in the hallway. The day after we got there, we went and swam on the beach for the first time in my life. The waves were so strong, that I go picked up and dragged fifteen feet and smacked into the older guy’s legs. The taste of salt water is so vile and I ended up being really thirsty after we were done.

Have you ever been to Arizona before? Well I have and it is amazing there the grass is bright green everywhere you go, and there were a little bit of palm trees there. Another thing amazing about Arizona is that the sky is always blue and sunny out. Like the whole time we were there it was sunny and very hot.

In my early teens, my parents and I were on a vacation in Mexico. I remember we hiked up a mountain for nearly forty five minutes to reach our destination. I was so intrigued with all the beautiful green, vivid colors and the flowing river that was running actively. It felt like a scene out of a Tarzan movie. During our journey, I noticed many different plants and trees. I came across a coffee tree, a banana tree, and many other fruit trees such as mango trees. I asked myself how lucky local villagers were to have such a luxury. While we were there, I noticed the air smelled different, and the atmosphere was just right: it felt purified and relaxing. As we traveled up the mountain many of the pathways were very narrow and had these enormous

On my sixteenth birthday, I got a trip to Las Vegas and Arizona for my birthday present. We were going to Vegas for one night, and to my Grandma’s and Grandpa’s condo in Arizona for another 8 days, so I got to miss quite a bit of school, two full weeks. On February 28, we left for Detroit. We stayed at a hotel and woke up at about 3:30 a.m, and boarded the plane at about 6 a.m. It was just my brother, my mom, and I. It was a 4 hour flight, so I dozed off right away. I remember waking up with the airplane turned totally sideways, so I started freaking out. It was nothing though, just turbulence. A few hours later, the flight attendant announced that we were right above the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon a bit later, it was super cool. We finally

It was April break and my family and I were heading down to Florida for the week. When our flight landed in Miami it was late. We went to a place called the Wynwood Walls, this place is a few blocks of street art that are just amazing. The coolest piece there was a big whale with a whole society inside of it. It was late afternoon when we got back to the hotel for dinner. I got a fish sandwich, it was great! After our dinner the sun was starting to set. My family and I walked out onto the beach and the water was sparkling in the evening sun with a ocean breeze coming over the ocean. Our hotel was great, the beds were extremely comfortable and we had a ocean view with the beach right in front of us!

As my eyes lit up like the fourth of July, I stood with my feet stuck to the ground, and my nerves tingle with happiness because of how marvelous it was. I didn't know a Mexico resort could be so nice.

My mom was busy trying to have a conversation with the cute lifeguard. I went and played volleyball with some kids my age instead. Time went by so fast before I knew it, it was 3 pm. I walked over to my mom to get some rest and relax. She had given up on the lifeguard and was now sitting in a chair close to the ocean, having a conversation with a couple in their mid-forties. This wasn't horrifying to watch, it was just boring. I jumped up and asked her if she wanted to go jump the waves with me. I loved pools, so how different could the ocean be. While we were walking in I saw a red flag go up nearby. I chose to ignore it

My mom, dad, brother, and I were all putting sunscreen on, head to toe like we showered in it while we were waiting for the cab to pick us up to go pick up the ATV's. Once the cab got to the hotel, we all had to stuff ourselves and our belongings in it because it was one of those mini cars that only had room for three people, but we were four people not including the driver. At the ATV Rental place, we got sized for helmets and the ATV. My brother and I were not old enough to drive the ATV so my brother and my father went together while my mother and I went together. Before you know it, we were out and about zooming through the streets of Aruba to get the California Lighthouse which
