Personal Narrative: My Vacation In Arizona

My trip to the Grand Canyon was the best experience I ever had so far in my life. My grandparents from Korea came along with us. Even though I saw them last year it was still an enjoyable moment that I had. Grand Canyon is located in Arizona so what our family did was fly to Las Vegas early in the morning and arrive in Nevada around 9 o’clock am. Driving to Grand Canyon was also five hours with heavy traffic. Driving and stopping every hour was hard to do but at the end it was all worth it. It was good that I had couple electronic devices and my family to keep me in company.

“Welcome to Texas.” That’s what I read as I gazed out the backseat window. My family and I were heading down to Brownsville, Texas for a vacation. Brownsville is an awesome city, not only is it right along the Gulf of Mexico but it’s also right on the border of Texas. As we got off the interstate and into the actual state, I remember looking out the window and thinking how much different — in a good way — Texas was from Illinois. Although we were staying in Brownsville, we would end up spending a lot of time in Port Isabel and South Padre Island, and even going into Mexico. Because of vacations like these ones, I think taking vacations are one of the best ways to take a break but they will never replace a home.

The State of Arizona is a very special place not only to me but to the world. The State of Arizona can be many things agricultural, a desert, extreme heat, snowfall, countryside, and densly populated, all of these things can describe Arizona. A downside of Arizona is during the summer it is the hottest state in America it is also one of the dryest which causes allergies very frequently. An upside to the heat is solar power and 90 degree free pool heating. Phoenix Arizona is one of the most populous cities in America but is very widespread making the city very diverse it can be populated and dense or peaceful quiet and natural. Arizona has many places to go depending on your prefrences wether it be peace and quiet, a fun adventure or even sightseeing.On

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

One big adventure we had was in the cold and mountainous state of Colorado. During the summer of last year my whole family went west to Colorado to visit my aunts, uncles, and cousins who live in Colorado and California. When out in Colorado we had lots of fun and did a lot of exciting things together. The first few days we did a lot of different things from running up the Red Rock Theater to going down the rough Alpine slides. “ Man my legs feel like jello,” I cried when we left the Theater. Later in day we all drove over to my uncle’s house to help set up for a graduation party. “ Man how many men does it take to fix a tent?” jokingly questioned my mom. After setting everything up for the party we all decided to go up to Red Rock and the Alpine Slides again because not everybody got to go up the first day. When 3:30 rolled around the party got started and everyone was playing corn hole and enjoying the nice, beautiful Colorado weather. When night rolled around my uncle asked confidently, “ Does anybody want to go down and play me ping pong?” I was the daredevil to face him first and it didn’t turn out as I planned it would. After playing ping pong and partying the night before everybody was bushed, but still we found lots of other things to do. In Golden, Colorado, we explored the Coors Brewer Company and in Canon City, Colorado, the deep and interesting Royal Gorge was explored. At the end of the week

It was april vacation of 2016 and my parents had told me we were going to Arizona and Las Vegas. I was extremely excited, not knowing what the city of Vegas was like or how beautiful Arizona was. We left the day april vacation started and flew into Arizona, and then would spend the next three days visiting the attractions around Phoenix and Sedona. Seeing the Grand Canyon was amazing, even though it started to snow while we were up there and we were all freezing, it was a great experience. On the last day of our time in Arizona, we packed up and drove 5 hours to Las Vegas. It was the prettiest city I had ever seen, and I constantly miss the view. We went shopping, walked the strip, went out to eat and saw all

In 2014 during my vacation in Florida, I learned that greed can make people do things they don't normally do. When I was 14 years old I wanted a new xbox game that had been just released, my dad gave me and my brothers a certain amount of money to spend during the vacation and buy things we wanted, but I already wasted it all. I remember passing near GameStop every day and watch other people buy the game, my heart got accelerated every time I saw it. My three other brothers still had enough money they put as a reserve, which I didn't.

We woke up at 3:00am to leave for Scottsdale and arrived at Phoenix International airport late in the afternoon. Then we called an Uber and headed to the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch. During the short ride to hotel I had a chance to take in the sites of the city. I quickly came to several conclusions, firstly this desert city is breathtaking beautiful. Secondly, I concluded Scottsdale is downright extravagant. Almost everywhere you go you`ll be treated with the sight

It is February and I have just returned home from what is considered to be the greatest convention of gemstones and crystals in the world. This is at Tucson, Arizona, in the southwest part of the United States.

I once had a fear, a fear that could break me down, a fear that would surround my whole body and squeeze the light light out of me every time I thought about it. Alone . . . or surrounded, my mind would subconsciously, repeatedly, irritatingly remind me that Death once said, "You have to believe in God like you believe in the sunrise. Not because you can see it, but because you can see all it touches." ~C.S. Lewis

I lived in Riverview till I was 3, the house was as small has a fly compared to the house we live in now.

It was our first time going to California. My family and I were very excited to go to California and it was our first time flying United Airlines, It was also our last. When we got to the airport, we waited for the plane and it took off a bit late due to mechanical problems. We thought that we would be fine for getting on the next plane, but we had to wait because Air Force One was in the air. Due to that, we missed our next flight in Chicago and had to wait about 6 hours, until 12:00 am to get to on our next plane to San Francisco. At this point I was as tired as a Marathon runner after running 3 marathons. This was the worst part of the whole trip because we were running through the airport just to miss our flight, and then we had to wait hours in the airport with the disgusting smell of McDonald's and airport Chicago dogs. We finally got on the plane and took off for San Francisco.

11th of January 2015 was my first day in Phoenix, Arizona. It all did begin since I've decided to find a new school that combines great facilities who would be productively able to help me get the best education that would look for and marvelous experience as an international student. Arizona State University was on my list of well-located and well-organized universities. I just moved from Indiana State last Spring semester which was quite fascinating and awesome since I kind of hated Indiana because of how boring it was back there despite the fact that I love how cold Indian is. I have yet spent almost 9 months in here, and everything seems extremely excellent in here.

The day finally arrived. As the bus with twenty or so young men pulled in to the barracks, I noticed how grey and dirty it looked. There was really no grass, but that’s to be expected as it was Arizona, but this was different. It seemed as though there was no grass even planted. I redirected my attention to the man beside me. “Hey,” I shouted over the rumbling engine, “I’m Jason. First time away from home?” He didn’t answer. “Cat got your tongue?” I joked.  “I’m Buddy, I’s from Texas.” He said sternly. “Indeed it’s the first time I’ve eva left my momma,” he added with a slight smile. During that moment I knew we were going to be wonderful friends.

I am the youngest cousin on my mom’s side of the family. Older than me there are two boys, not including my brother, and six girls. Since there aren’t very many of us, I am very close with all of them, but I have always been extra close with one of my oldest girl cousins Michelle. I am about fifteen years younger than Michelle, but she always somehow knew how to include me in everything the “big kids” were doing when I was younger. When I found out she was getting married, I was so incredibly excited. Not only did this mean a trip to Arizona for ten year old me, but also a big party with all my family. So after saying all this you can only imagine my excitement when she asked me to be a Junior Bridesmaid in her wedding. I was ten and she was
