Recommended: Solutions to road rage

We previously had a discussion about you taking your family on a trip to Disney World. You stated that you weren’t able to decide if you wanted to fly or take a road trip. I understand that you came to me because I tend to travel a lot by way of different modes of transportation. And I truly appreciate you trusting my judgements. With my background working in the airline industry and traveling expertise, I can assure you that a flight would best suit you for this adventure. Further on, I will provide you with more detailed reasons why I would recommend you take a flight over taking a road trip. The areas I’ll be focusing on includes prices, sights, weather, comfort, and time. Prices of rental car and gas is slightly less expensive than flight …show more content…

Try taking a road trip in the winter time. I tried it and it was no fun. I was so afraid of getting stuck in the snow. There were places where the roads were icy and people were driving like it was a nice and sunny day. It can be too hot or too cold sometimes. On a flight, they have comfortable temperatures in the cabin. There are so many things regarding weather that you would have to factor in when you are taking a road trip. You’d worry less about weather when you’re flying than when you’re driving. A flight is much more comfortable than on a road trip. You have your own seat and you don’t have to worry about anyone taking your spot if you get up. You can get up to stretch and walk around without having to pull over. If you’re driving in a car in the summer, you have to worry about someone’s sweaty legs on your legs. When we went on a road trip to Tennessee, we were very uncomfortable because we were so close and it was hot. Some people wanted to lay down but there wasn’t enough room for them to do that. It causes you to fight and bicker with one another because you’re irritated

    Road trips are known to be fun adventures. When someone says they are going on a road trip people expect them to go and see amazing places and then come back. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck and On the Road by Jack Kerouac are about road trips but these trips are not about the adventure. Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sal from On the Road and Steinbeck from Travels with Charley all go on road trips because of the American drive. I am also on the road and even thought it is not road trips I am moving around and it is because of the American drive.

In the prompt it talks about and states that sometimes its like a journey or sometimes like a rush to get from point A to point B.It also says that Route 66 is old so that means that there would be some more things to look at.Sure the interstate gets you there faster.When you drive the two lane highways it does not matter how much time it takes.In fact you might even wanna keep driving and driving and driving because you are having so much fun.

  • The Downfall of Modern Tourism: Disney World Suppresses Individuality

    2180 Words  | 5 Pages

    The progression of technology and its presence in society has strongly molded the way people live their lives today, and the way they will continue to live their lives years from now. But with this advancement of science and increased order, there is a consequence that seems to be a heavy price to pay: the loss of human emotion and freewill, and the submission to organization and commands. The tourist industry is one such manufactured machine, so to speak, that influences people's views in certain aspects. One of these aspects, culture, is a main focus of post-modernist writer Bryan Turner, who believes that "tourism invents and demands empathy...makes cultures into museums...[creates] the illusion of authenticity, [and therefore] reinforces the experience of social and cultural simulation" (qtd. in Burns 33). One only needs to take a look at the verbs used in this quote--invents, demands, makes, reinforces-- to see how mechanized tourism sounds. In addition to these verbs that would be associated with something mechanical, the key word simulation further supports the notion that when man created the tourist industry, he in fact invented a machine. Man appears to be forgetting, however, that he created the machine, but he is not the machine; he gave life to the mechanism, but he should not give his life to the mechanism. He is, however, falling to the pattern of the latter in each case; man is becoming the product he makes, following orders and decreasing his choices, and in the process, losing his costly traits of humanity. A great example of this phenomenon is man's creation of Disney World. What seems to be a land of fun and innocent childlike enjoyment...

    “All right. I’m corny. But I think there’s just about a-hundred-and-forty-million people in this country that are just as corny as I am.” Walt Disney was a major part of the Twentieth Century media and entertainment production. Disney was born December 5, 1901 in Chicago, and died of lung cancer on December 15, 1966. He was a chain smoker all his life, which may have been the cause of his lung cancer.

    The Main Street station, is the curtains to a large production as if the Magic Kingdom was a theater. As I wander beneath the archway, I notice that above the arch is a plaque that reads: “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy”. As I continue to stroll through the passage on the way to Main Street, there are posters of “upcoming attractions” that line the walls on both sides. I then step into Main Street U.S.A. and begin to hear the Victorian style orchestra playing over the speakers. I notice some Disney pals in Town Square greeting guests as if they were old friends. Then I begin to travel further down the street, and the smell of the caramel apples, chocolate chip cookies, and other sweets walk out of the open doors of the bakery and into the street. At the end of this turn of the century town, sits the one hundred eighty­nine­foot­tall, Cinderella Castle. This moment is a pivotal moment in any Disney vacation, because the castle is well known to millions. I get

    Ever since I was about six years old, I wanted in the worst way to go to Disneyland. I would hope every year that my parents would chose Disneyland as our next family vacation destination. I dreamt of the day I would come back from Disneyland with exciting tales of adventure and a pair of sparkly, ruby red and black Minnie Mouse ears of my very own that would be the envy of every kid in my elementary class. Once I finally went to Disneyland, it was amazing; Disneyland was everything I had expected and more. However, a couple years later when I returned to Disneyland, it was different. The rides, buildings, and everything in the park did not have the same allure. The magic I had experienced as a child was no longer there.
