Essay On Vacations

The boring summers had already made their way in my boring life again this year. But this time it was the worst summer in the history of worst summers. The vacations of St. Stevens School always started early but this time it was planned one week before the time. I woke up and turned my face towards the clock. The minute hand showed me that I still had twenty five minutes to sleep but I somehow made my way out of bed and headed towards the washroom. I caught my glimpse in the mirror once I was holding a brush in my hand ready to start the day. My hair was as wild as jungle, untamble and unruly. My mother always loved my amber eyes but they seemed to me as boring and lazy in the mirror. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair back to normal...show more content...

I am not so affectionate towards animals but mom is an immense animal lover which left me with no choice but to choose a stray cat. "Ugh Mr. Doodle get away." I shrugged the cat away and picked the phone again. My fingers were already dialing while Mr. Doodle was busy stretching his legs on the ground. "Clair Sage. I was waiting for your call since morning." Elora almost screamed in my ears. "Sorry El. Even if it's still morning." "Whatever. Don't be late, 3:00 pm on T3. Catch you there, love . "Ofcource I am looking forward it too." I could feel myself smiling as I realized how excited I was to meet Elora after so long. "Want me to bring something?" "No. We'll grab some coffee on our way back." "Sounds good." I said before I hung up. Elora was my best friend since grade four. We go to same high school and are almost in same classes. Her wander lust ended her to make a trip every three months. Last week she went to India, but the weather conditions forced her to leave and head home which left me with charge to escort her back from airport. I looked at the clock and it showed me 1:00 pm giving me instructions to hit the road. The airport was only one hour drive but I would love to buy some welcome back gift for Elora. That was the thing with me. I always loved to buy gifts for people I love and If I had such a good reason I would not miss my chance. I grabbed the keys of my mom's black Toyota and went to her room. "Mom. Do you mind if I drive your car

When I was little, we rented a houseboat for a family vacation. I was probably eighteen months old. Needless to say, I remember none of it. However, from that one vacation to Lake Powell, spurred so many others. Apparently, it was a blast. For the next ten years, our full family vacations were few and far between, after all, there were so many new cousins being born, new jobs being obtained, and kids starting school, we hardly had time to all get together for a week away. By the time I was maybe 11, we thought it was time for another vacation, and since all of the adults were so fond of their last houseboat memory, they were all in agreement when planning where to go. A year later, after credit cards were maxed out and bags were packed,...show more content...

Long story short, we had four sick children by 5 A.M., myself included. I don't know what set it off, but it was hideous, and ended up lasting the remainder of the vacation. Just my luck, right? I think there were probably eight of us sick off and on on that trip, sprawled across multiple beds missing out on what could have been an amazing vacation. It was still pretty great though. I'd pick it over the houseboat trip a year after, where we all came home with an ear infection.

Summer vacations that followed were pretty low–key. Mostly going out of state to a lake house for a week or so, nothing major, but they were all pretty dang fun. It wasn't until recently that we had our next "big" vacation. This time, it wasn't with the entire family, since we already had one of our sub par lake house trip planned that summer, the extended family stayed home, and seeing that it was harvest time, we left my dad behind. Just my two sisters and my mom, we decided it was the perfect time for another unforgettable vacation. I had been begging my mother to see the ocean for years. She finally caved. My aunt that lived in Arizona decided she and my cousin would come along so we planned everything months ahead of time with them. We were going to fly into Arizona, spend a night there, then meet my aunt and cousin, and brave the five hour trip to Anaheim. We got to Prescott, spent the night, and met my aunt the next morning. It was all going as

Descriptive Essay On Beach Vacation

My family has been looking forward to our annual beach vacation since last year's trip to Alabama. Although it has been a long, winding journey for two days, hauling through five states and having a personal concert in the passenger seat for fourteen hours, it was all worth it by the time we make it. Beach Boulevard is overflowing with giant houses, palm trees, stores, and thousands of other activities we are in a position to do. Everyone in the car is so antsy, we roll our windows down and breathe in the sweet, warm Alabama air. My eyes locked on my phone, I count down the miles until we arrive at our destination. Ten miles... Five miles... Three miles... One mile... Two–Hundred feet... "You have arrived at your destination," Siri informs me. Pulling into the driveway, not a single soul waits for the car to stop completely. We leap out of the vehicle, hugging my distant relatives from Louisiana and rapidly begin sprinting down to the water. My friend, Kambri, and I are flinging sand behind us, with the wind blasting against our faces. Finally arriving to the ocean, we stand shoulder to shoulder along the shore, taking it all in. Silently, we listen to the continuous, calming crashes of water, allowing it to splash up our legs, for the salty breeze to blow through our hair, and the rays of the sun shine on our pale adolescent bodies. I have never felt more at home than I do right now, in this moment in time. My extended family promptly begins to unpack the loaded vehicles. Opening the wide truck tailgates, there is not even room for a fly to buzz around back there. Stuffed to the top, the bed of the truck was full of over packed clothes, unhealthy sugary snacks, tubs packed to the rim with bottles of sunscreen, and of course, a plethora of sand toys. Us kids toss the bags at the top of the winding staircase, quickly scoping out our temporary house for the week. As we make it up to our room, we do not skip a beat unzipping our suitcases to find the superb fitted, blue bikini for our first day in paradise. Before any adult has time to summon us back downstairs to help them finish unloading the cars, we are out the door and headed down to the beach. On our journey down, we each grab our newly purchased, Aztec

Approximately 33% or a third of all families in the United States will go on a family vacation this year. Family vacations when you break it down is entirely for the parents. Parents and their children are stressed during the school year, whether it's providing for the family or homework. Family vacations may be stress reducing or enhancing depending on where you go, who you're going with, and why you're going. Where you go can influence how your trip will be. If you go to an amusement park, such as Disneyland, you should expect to have some enhancement of stress due to lines, prices, or poor weather. However, if you are one of the individuals that get all sun and no lines, then you might enjoy yourselves. If you are traveling to a relative's house or town, you may feel more relaxed if you like said relatives. However, if you have too many relatives or don't like said relatives, you may become even more stressed than before you left. If you travel to another state or outside the country you are more likely to be relaxed if you go to your native language speaking country or region. My family has traveled outside of our home multiple times before, and we have even lived in a whole other continent, with different cultures and scenes, in Singapore. From Singapore, you have a wider range of places to go for cheaper than in the United States. My favorite places to travel have been New Zealand and the Philippines so far. When my family travels for fun, most ofthe time we end up enjoying ourselves if it's planned well. The major problem with traveling outside of the country, and even states, is the time difference. Jetlag, or time difference, is when your body is accustomed to your home's time zone and when you travel and there is a time difference your body does not adjust for what experts say one day for every hour difference. Compared to Texas the Philippines has a fourteen hour time difference, and New Zealand has a nineteen hour time difference. Jetlag can also affect your overall enjoyment of a family vacation because you have to be awake and not irritable in order to have fun. On the other hand, vacationing is not about where you go, but who you go with. People who vacation have a multitude of reasons to do

Everyone has gone on some form of vacation in their lives. I have gone on many vacations that have been very hectic, but the cruise that I went on might have been the craziest. It all started with how we were getting to the port in South Carolina. We couldn't fit me, my younger brother, my younger step–brother, my older step–brother, my older step–sister, my aunt, and my stepmom all into my stepmom's tiny BMW, so we had to rent a big van. When we got to the car rental place, it turns out that the company had accidentally gave the van we rented to someone else. After my stepmom did a little bit of yelling, we got an even bigger van for less than the other one. Next comes the 13 hour car ride. My 7–year–old step–brother, Max, wouldn't sit still the whole ride and kept screaming at his I–Pad every time he lost his game. My 10–year–old brother, Ryan, was sitting right next to Max screaming with him like he was still 7. My step–sister Emma and I were very annoyed and tired, so we both took about 3 melatonin gummies and tried to fall asleep. That's when the car ride went bad. My brothers were being loud the...show more content... The beach was absolutely gorgeous. The sand was as white as snow and there were no shells, trash, or anything on the beach other than chairs and umbrellas. The water was crystal clear and even when you were in the ocean up to your neck you could still see the whole way down to your toes. You could see fish swimming around your ankles and there were dolphins out in the distance. It truly was a perfect beach. Myfamily and I all swam with manta rays and then Emma and i found our friends and played Bocce and volleyball on the beach. The only scary part of that day was when we were getting off the ship. One of the crew thought it would be a good idea to jump off the ninth floor of the ship. He was a little banged up, but he was still walking around smiling and Get more content

The air was filled with salt and warm sunlight. The waves were crashing against the Hawaiian sand causing a beautiful and relaxing sound. With flapping wings and squawking noises, seagulls were stalking tourists in the search of food. The soft, hot sand was soothing to the touch. The palm trees danced in the swaying wind and the aroma of distant barbecues and sunscreen wafted in the air. As a native Floridian, the thought of a Hawaiian vacation was appealing. Hours of waiting began to accumulate when I was informed that my flight to Hawaii had been rescheduled. My frustration built as I sat and anticipated the start to my vacation. After the airplane trip to the islands, I...show more content... Crowds of people began to funnel in to this one location on the beach. I imagined that an animal had washed up on the shore and could not get back into the water. My curiosity grew, and I left my chair to follow the path of everyone else down the shoreline. Upon reaching the scene, I became aware of what happened. I stared down at a little girl who was lying face up and was unresponsive to family members calling her name. It was evident that she had drowned and was on the edge of death. Life guards began to pound on her chest and start chest compulsions. She continued to stay motionless. Quickly, lifeguards began the operations of CPR. These long and tiring procedures made the lifeguards physically tired. The rest of the family bickered back and forth on whose fault this was. "Why couldn't you just watch her and do what you were told?" I heard behind me. The father screamed, "It was not my responsibility to do that, it was yours!" The clear frustration began to build and caused more confusion.

The lifeguards circling around the little girl seemed frightened. Leaning closer to hear the rumors being spread throughout the crowd, I unintentionally noticed the disturbing sound of gargling from the little girl. She had regained consciousness, but could not breathe due to the water trapped in her lungs. Policemen arrived on the beach and began to push back the imaginary boundaries surrounding the circle of lifeguards. The police advised everyone to leave the beach

Have you ever been on a vacation? To me a vacation is a time to be with friends or family. When I think of vacations, I think of packing, the flight or drive, and relaxation. Not only is it very exciting to go on a vacation, but you get closer to the people that go with you.

Linda, my best friend's mom had asked me if I would want to go with their family to Florida. When she asked me I thought she was kidding, but when she said, "I need to know because if you are I need to get you a airplane ticket," I knew she was serious.

Although the drive was three hours the time went fast before I knew it we were at the airport.

I had never been on an airplane. My stomach felt like I had just eaten rotten fish and I was about to throw up. I was so excited to go, but at the same time I was scared because I had never been on a plane. We waited in the airport for at least an hour. Finally our flight was called, as I walked on the plane my heart was about to jump out of my skin. After the flight attendant had went through all the rules and we put our seat belts on the plane was going to take off. I thought the worst thing about the flight was taking off and landing. I didn?t like taking off and landing because my ears popped. Other than the fact that my ears popped taking off and landing the flight went smooth, we didn?t crash. When the plane landed, I couldn?t wait to stand on solid ground again.

When I got off the plane the first thing I saw was a giant palm tree. It wasn?t like the palm trees you see in pictures. This palm tree was kind of ugly it was about thirty feet tall, the leaves at the top looked like they were dead, and it was leaning to the right. Other than that palm tree it was a beautiful day. It was ninety seven degrees, but it didn?t feel like Minnesota?s ninety seven degrees because there wasn?t much humidity. Before we could leave we had to wait for Get

The tropical vacation usually involves water, hotels, sight seeing, and fancy clothes. Generally these trips are for people who want to sleep later into the day, have a nice brunch, and then sleep or engage inactivities on a beautiful beach. After getting their nice golden tan, the person most likely will go to their room, where they can take a shower and get all dressed up for a fancy dinner. After dinner, the couple or family usually engages in pleasant activities like walking through a quaint town or stopping to listen to a band that might be playing as they are walking by.

Normally the couple or family that takes this type of vacation would pack warmer clothing, such as heavy jackets and thermal pants. For these people, a typical day generally involves waking up, having a good hot breakfast, and skiing on the slopes. Next, the people would remain skiing for most of the afternoon and into the early evening. The only time that they would stop is for lunch and a cup of hot cider to warm them up. After they finished their day on the slopes, they would go back to their room where they can clean up and prepare for a

"We need to go on a vacation since this might be our last summer together." suggested my dad. This summer my parents and I decided to go on a vacation. We haven't been on one since I was really little. The week we had planned to go, my sister was in need of a babysitter. My parents made the brave decision to take my twelve–year old niece, Alexis, along for the journey. These eight days showed me the importance offamily.

At six o'clock in the morning, we embarked on our ten hour car ride to Arkansas. Alexis and I had the backseat, which we called "The Party seat." We played games such as, the license plate game, I spy, and singing. We also had our blankets ready for naptime. These games helped the time go fast, and before we knew it, we were driving through Jefferson City, Mo. The city was beautiful with all of the tall buildings and the big river! About an hour later, we stopped in the Lake of the Ozarks for lunch. I have never seen water so blue, it made me want to jump in. We ate lunch at the Beavers on the Dam, which had the best cheeseburgers I have ever had. We then piled back into the car for some more driving time.

The theater was packed with a lot of little kids and their parents. This movie was very cute, and in some spots, funny. When the movie was over, we went back to the hotel to swim.

Family trip to Nevada!

It was a frosty morning, perfect weather to stay at home and relax but that wasn't the case for my family. We were filling up the car to the sky with all sorts of items for the road that lies ahead. This would be the best and first family trip to Las Vegas! It surely wouldn't be the last though and that we were sure of. A whole week before christmas break filled with the sun, barbeques, and lots offamily time in the huge and famous Las Vegas? Well I could only say one thing "Let this vacation begin!" Begin and end it would and both with a mighty BANG!

It was a wintry January morning, perfect weather for hot chocolate by the toasty, red wood burning fire. It was still snowing when I started packing up for a trip to Las Vegas. I was the first one to wake up and it was so quiet you could hear the snow falling on the ground outside. This wouldn't last too long because my mom and sisters were about to wake up in a few moment so they could start packing. I seemed to be right because a few minutes later their alarms started to ring, killing the quietness that rested in the house and outside. I guess it was now time for them to awake and for me to start getting ready for the chaos the house was going to be. One by one they started waking up and started to make noise little by little until the house sounded like a cat fight with everyone making noise and running up and down the stairs! "Star be ready in 10 minutes, we'll start loading the car", my mom yelled! "Okay mom", I yelled back.

We started loading the car and everyone got in and got comfortable. I slept for a few hours and woke up to my mom telling my sisters we were in the middle of a snow storm. Oh no, I thought to myself! A few minutes later my mom had my step dad pull over at a gas station close to ahotel so we could let the snow storm go away a little bit. The car started to slide side to side making us all jerk a little as we were going down a small hill to get to the gas station. "I thought I saw my life flash before my eyes" I exclaimed! My family bursted out laughing with tears in their eyes. I soon caught on laughing at myself as well. We stayed at the gas station for about two or three hours until the snow storm had

The average American receives ten days of paid vacation a year and millions of workers do not even use them all. Vacation provides a much–needed escape from the daily grind and hustle n bustle of the work routine. The best kind of vacations include family and friends, lively experiences, new countries, cultures, and the promise of relaxation. Relaxing on the beach in the Bahamas, ziplining in Sao Paulo, horse backing in the Andes Mountains, or exploring the city of Vienna in Austria all provide a different experience in a new country and culture. Experiencing and exploring with friends and family is even better; allowing for stronger relationships and creating enjoyable memories for years to come. One aspect of a fun vacation is spending time with friends and family. No matter if in a new country or a new neighborhood, exploring new places and experiencing new things together can strengthen friendships and bonds between family members. Having shared memories from a particular vacation can be a helpful reminder of a happy time when a family relationship or friendship turns sour. While on my trip to Ecuador over the summer, I went with twelve over classmates and also ten other high school students from around the country.

Once upon a time, my family and I went on a vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. This vacation was an event in my life that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of my family and myself. This vacation was the first vacation that my dad had planned all by himself. He was super excited because we were going camping on the beach, and he loved camping. The plan was that we were going to kayak over to the island we would be staying on with all of our stuff, then kayak back in the morning. That is not how it worked out. What we did not realize was how far the island was from the actual lodge. I got my own kayak with a tow just in case.

My dad gave up. He said that he will stay put, while my mom, sister, and I kayaked back to get help. I though that this was a horrible idea, so at that moment I became the leader of my family. I gave a little motivational speech to get everyone to start paddling. I attached the tow that was on the back of my kayak on to the front of the canoe and helped pull the canoe back to the lodge. I felt like the most heroic person the world has ever seen. I turned into what felt like an Olympic kayaker. My adrenaline rushed through me and helped me through the extreme pain my arms were going through. The hardest part of the way back was the last one hundred feet. A storm had started up and the wind blew my dad and I into a private pier along the shore. I fought as hard as I could through the current to get us out of there. The wind made it so much worse because it blew directly into us. With hard work, determination, and coordination, my dad and I finally got out of the private pier which was about one hundred feet away from the lodge's pier. When people say to do a certain task like your life depended on it that is actually how I felt. My arms felt like they were going to fall off, but I was so close to the pier and if I gave up, the current and the wind would take my dad and I one hundred feet in the opposite direction we needed to go. I screamed and yelled at myself to push as hard as I have ever pushed before and finally I made it to the pier. Everyone was

Assateague is famous for the herd of wild horses that live on the island. Several books have been written about the horses, the most well known being Misty of Chincoteague. It has some of the most pristine beaches you will ever see. It also has a famous lighthouse.
