Do you know who had a really crazy summer vacation? I did! Everyone should take a family vacation to another Country. The exploration of a different culture makes for life long memories. Last summer, after months of planning our family trip to Mexico the day had arrived. The morning was already hot and I was pacing all around the house double checking that I had packed all the necessities for the week long stay. It was time to load up our belongings and hit the road for a 14 hour drive. Knowing that this drive was going to be so long, I stocked up on dvds and snacks for the 3 little ones to keep them entertained in between their nap sessions. Driving straight through the night only stopping for gas and restroom breaks we finally reached our destination. Arriving to a small pueblo with a population of about 1000 people, dirt roads, and houses made of mostly adobe blocks was definitely a change of scenery. The weather was extremely hot and dry almost desert like. Although this was such a change for my family we were going to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. Pulling up to my mother...

    “All summer in a day” by Ray Bradbury, is a story about jealousy, this is shown through this quote: “When people hate on you, it's because you’ve got something they want.” All Summer in a day is set sometime in the future, maybe soon or maybe far, and the earth is overpopulated.

  • Canyonlands Descriptive Writing

    985 Words  | 2 Pages

    It was 12:00 at night, but I was still wide awake. I was anxious for the trip that was in store for me. The next morning I drove to the airport and took a flight to Colorado. I rented a car and drove to Red Cliffs lodge in Moab, Utah. Moab is a dry, desert town in Utah located right next to Canyonlands national park where I would spend most of my time. Right as I got out of the car I could see the beautiful canyonlands scenery. The gigantic cliffs of the island in the sky loomed over the lodge. The blue waters of the Colorado river ran behind the lodge. My room was spacious and had a great view of the cliffs. The best part of the room was the window right above my bed. That night I fell asleep gazing at a full moon and a sky full of stars.

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I was younger my parents would take my sister and I to a spot near Pine Point around the same time in August for the end of our summer vacation. It was something that we could look forward to all year and we knew that no two years would be the same. There were new restaurants that would open up and also places with different types of activities such as a multilevel arcade. It was not the differences that I would look forward to though, but the things that were exactly the same. The camp site that we would stay at was always exactly the same as well as the quality time spent with family. No matter what the weather was like, nobody was worried, because just the time away from home secluded with your family was enough to keep us happy. This is a perfect example of why every time you travel, you do not need to go to a new

What happens when the protagonist, Homer, loses his awareness of a certain personal responsibility to maintain self-control? Homer's actions increasingly make him act foolishly, internally and externally. Also, how does Homer return to a sense of sanity and responsibility? To a degree, I would say that he does.

    My most memorable family vacation took place two years ago. We went to Corsica, a French island situated in the south of France right next to Italy. I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear

    We were very drained and I even came to the point where I told myself that I will never ever go back to Bicol again unless I will ride a plane from Manila to Naga City. I don’ t care if it’s free or what but swear, not the bus again. I just cannot visualize myself riding on a bus with a super long tiresome hours of travel. We were totally stressed all over after we found a convenient place, The Naga Manor Hotel to abide in while we are there. It was almost 10:30 pm when we had our decent meal for the day at Bigg’s Diner which is one of their best food chains and slept pass 12 in the midnight. We were completely tired but thanks to God for having a very nice room with a soothing bed and of course a cheetah-like wifi. So, we obviously slept tight the rest of the night.
