I am so excited to go to the Virgin Islands for vacation this year! Every summer, my family and I go to a new place for vacation. This year it's the Virgin Islands! I was looking forward to going since last month because I told my mom we should go somewhere tropical and warm, and that's when we both thought of the idea to go to the Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands is in St. John and we are going to camp at cinnamon bay. My mom said cinnamon bay is one of the best beaches in the world. We are leaving tomorrow, early in the morning.
When we got on the plane, I thoughtt of what we would do there? Would we go snorkeling, hiking, camping, scuba diving, and swimming. Then I though of going camping! That's why my mom made me bring my sleeping

When I started to get full, I went back out into cinnamon bay with my sister. We took a hike and wandered around the bay. When we were looking across the bay we saw turtles. The turtles were so cute and charming. They were green, about 40 inches long, and weight 500 pounds. Then we sat there for a few seconds to watch the turtles. The turtles were doing flips in the water and chasing the other turtles around in the ocean. When I looked to the right, I saw people snorkeling with the fish and the coral reefs. When I looked to the left I saw people paddle boarding and canoeing. That looked so much fun! When I walked closer and closer to the shore I started to felt the ocean breeze, and that felt very nice on a warm …show more content…
When we were hiking we saw lots of animals like donkeys, deer, mongoose, bats, pigs, birds, and frogs. I never seen a mongoose before. A mongoose is a weasel-like, slender animal with short legs and small rounded ears. There about 1.5 feet to 3.5 feet. They have short, dark brown fur. My favorite animal was the birds because the bird was an Antillean Crested Hummingbird and I love hummingbirds. I also like them because there feathers are usually blue, green, light, green, and black. Then we saw many bright and colorful flowers, along the path. We also saw many tall trees. After we took a trail around our a campsite, we started to head
Barrier Islands are very so hard to protect, therefore, there should be different kinds of information that would help the community distant from these Coast's to commit to preserving a Barrier Island. first of all historically these barrier islands have been hard to protect because the links between them an inshore ecosystems are poorly recognized. some of the ways resolve this issue include putting signs up roads that lead to the coast, putting Billboards up making tissue blown up on a big board, sending mass text out like they do with Amber Alerts, creating symbols or texts on the roads themselves like we have with turn signals, putting more information on local channels for TV, putting Flyers up at local restaurants or bars,
The Virginia trip was an amazing experience to learn about history hands on while still having time to do outdoor activities. The week was exhilarating, though tiring. The first two days of the trip consisted of historical tours and it was an educational aspect of it. The last three days focused traveling and outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and zip lining. We also visited Monticello before leaving. Towards the end of the trip, I realized that I learned so much about Virginia that I hadn't known before. One of those many new found information included Jamestown. One of the first things I learned was that digging, archeology, and excavations were still occurring today. New bones and artifacts were being found from that time period.
Barrier Island is a low edge of sand that is parallel to the mainland with a distance of 2 to 19 miles’ off the shoreline, 300 barrier islands border the shore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Padre Island, Texas. The barrier island defends the coast from the full power of storm waves. In the central of the barrier island and the mainland is a peaceful lagoon or a bay. Mainly most of these barrier island are 0.6-3 miles wide and amid from 9-18 miles long. The highest structures example of barrier island are sand dunes with the height of 16-33 feet; however, in some places the dunes can reach the height of 100 feet. Few barrier islands are initiated as spits that were then detached from the inland by upsurge corrosion, rising of sea level resulting
The earliest people believed to come to the Hawaiian Islands were Polynesians from the Marquesas and they came between 500 and 750 A.D. Later, in 1000 A. D., the Tahiti came. The Tahiti brought over the belief in gods and social hierarchy, resulting in the hawaiian people following a Kapu system. In `1778, James cook, the first westerner to reach the Hawaiian Islands, paved the way for other explorers to come. James cook name the Islands the “Sandwich Islands” so show gratitude for the Earl of Sandwich. Cook dies a year later because of Hawaiian conflicts on Kealakekua Bay. In 1795, King Kamehameha led a campaign through the Hawaiian Islands, capturing and uniting all the islands under his monarchy in 1810. During his conquest, many ships anchored

Out of the six islands that make up Hawaii, the island of Oahu is the third largest and second oldest. Oahu is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and plate at a latitude and longitude of 21.4389° N, 158.0001° W (Wikipedia, 2016). The island was created from the pacific plate hot spot, a still active intrusion of magma. A hot spot is a geological feature where hot magma from the inside of the earth leaks out onto the Earth’s crust through cracks in the lithosphere. Once the ejected magma hardens it adds to the surface of the Earth, increasing the land elevation in the area surrounding the hot spot. Over millions of years, the collected cooled magma breaks the surface of the ocean, forming a small island. The islands of Hawaii were all formed from the same hot spot in the center of the pacific. The pacific plate moves in the Northwest direction relative to the North American plate due to typical plate tectonics. While this occurs, the hot spot in the pacific remains in the same place ejecting magma on to the Earth’s surface. The movement of the plate has
I’ve been going to the same summer camp for six years and most years we canoe out to High Island, which is about a mile away from the camp, or a 45 minute paddle. I’ve never had much luck going out to the island. One year it was so windy we had to stop at a town dock and be driven back to camp because the winds were so strong, and the water was so choppy. Another year my canoe was dented, which dramatically affected the tracking so we had to be tied to a counselor's canoe and brought back to camp. With the strong memories of those trips I was worried when my counselor in training program required a three day camping trip to High Island, meaning a canoe trip out with lots of supplies.

After snorkeling we went back to the hotel and finished the night off in a warm Jacuzzi reminiscing about all the adventures we had on this trip. I think my favorite experience was snorkeling but soon the snorkeling gear began to chafe at my skin which will make an uncomfortable plane ride home. I can't believe we have to be up at 9:00 in the morning to catch our plane home. I had such an amazing time visiting The National Park of American Samoa and I will never forget the great experience I had
Millions of years ago in Hawaii, a massive volcano erupted but no one knows how or why. One day in Hawaii, a 13 year old girl named Orabelle who loved the island, that was strong, went on a walk down by the beach being very angry with her parents, she goes on walks to cool herself down from being heated up. When she would go down to the beach, which was on occasions, she would pick up seashells and throw them into the ocean. Everytime she gets angry she makes the volcano erupt a little bit at a time until she got really angry. She thought about how cool it would be to be in charge of the volcanoes. She finally cooled off and went back home. She wanted to tell her parents about her idea. So she did. They weren’t very supportive so she went

Historians document that the first inhabitants, the Ciboneys, arrived on the islands during what is considered the Pre-Ceramic Culture. Arawaks were the next to arrive, establishing sites on St. John and St. Croix around 100 AD. Probably the best-known inhabitants, and those to arrive next, were the savage Caribs and the more peaceful Tainos. Evidence of their time in the islands has been unearthed in recent years, and includes stone griddles, zemis (small carvings depicting the faces of their gods) and petroglyphs which are rock carvings visible on St. John’s Reef Bay Trail.
Similar to China, which is considered to have a collectivist culture (Mead and Andrews, 2009), the Virgin Islands was influenced by its family orientation. However, as more people leaves the Virgin Islands for various reasons such as studying abroad, career opportunities, inter alia. and more foreigners enter the Virgin Islands, the culture has shifted.
The ideal vacation for me is somewhere nice and warm. A vacation where you are suppose to be able to unwind and relax. Being around somewhere that isn't school related or teachers. For me, a way to relax is not to be around loud things, like little kids and preferably somewhere peaceful. A good vacation is somewhere near a nice beach, where I can have a delicious barbeque while chilling with some music. If there was a break, I would choose to go to Hawaii or somewhere with a breathtaking view so I can take many pictures.
