This month, as you know, was spring break. For my birthday, my family and I decided to go to Hawaii. We wanted to go because many of our friends had gone and they said that it was breath-taking. For more than half of the trip, we went to Big Island. By the name, one can possibly tell that this is the biggest island out of all of Hawaii. Big Island was amazing! There were so many places to go and things to see. The rest of the trip, which was two days, we went to Honolulu. Honolulu is Hawaii’s capital. Honolulu was great, but I liked Big Island much more. If we had spent a few more days in Honolulu, then I possibly would have liked it a lot more. My family and I did so many exciting activities. We went swimming with dolphins, hiking up an old …show more content…
Coming from Virginia where it was still a bit cold, it was very hot. Once we arrived at the hotel, we relaxed a little bit and decided to go to the hotel’s pool. When we got there, we didn’t know how big the pool was going to be. We swam for a little bit until we got hungry and tired. The next day, we went snorkeling in the bay that is connected to the ocean. We saw lots of fish but also, many rocks. When I was stand up paddle-boarding, my board hit a rock and I fell into the water. Luckily, the water was below my chest. Unfortunately, there were rocks under the water that scraped my foot everywhere. The rocks didn’t cause that much damage, but it was bleeding a little bit. Then, my family and I went to a stunning beach and had a photoshoot. My father is an excellent photographer, so he took many pictures. On the third day, my dad and I went swimming with wild dolphins. Since my brother was too young, my mom and brother stayed at the hotel. When my dad and I went swimming with wild dolphins, we didn’t get to swim side-by-side with them, but we saw them right below us. It was really interesting to see dolphins in their natural habitat instead of being held captive in a tank. On the next day, our family went to the Hale Ma’uma’u Volcano Crater, which is the only active volcano in the United States. We waited until the sunset so we could see the lava inside of the crater really well. At
When I stepped out of the hot, airless plane into the bright, dazzling sunlight beaming down across the burning concreate, I felt excited and nervous. Holding my beach bag in my hand and slipping my Ray Ban sunglasses on with my other, I flip-flopped down the airspace. Overhead I heard the screams of gulls and the chatter of the small fluffy birds. I suddenly realized I had arrived to Hawaii. This trip was such an unforgettable vacation for me because I got to witness the beauty of nature that Hawaii has to offer.
My favorite part about the Island is the activities and most of them are very exciting. When you first get there you learn about turtles in a game called turtle hurdles and the education around it is that throw away your trash and you will save many species of the oceanic life. You also are able to do kayaking and snorkeling and if the waters and good and not choppy you’ll see a lot of fish, and on the last day you will have a kayaking race if you don’t want to kayak you can run. Something that changed my life there about see the world is the trust walk and you put on a blindfold and walk for about five to eight minutes and when you are finished you will talk about why you did it and what it meant to you. These are the activities and there is a fish lab, a bird lab, and squid dissection you might think it is gross or it might not be. The activities are spread throughout the time on the camp so have
Long Island also known as a diverse community to many people helps many of us come more aware of other cultures and religions. Having a combination of different religions and life living together makes us more known to the world. We as an island surrounded of millions of people don’t appreciate the unique and wonderful things that are being given to us. Others like tourists or people from all around the world might not feel the same way though. In many nations around the world people don’t get to experience the social interactions and bandings one might get to feel and understand.
Honolulu, Hawaii and Nassau, Bahamas are two very popular tourist destinations. However, in two different oceans, they are both located on an island. The cities each attract tens of thousands of visitors a year. It can difficult to try and decide which place to spend a vacation. I have vacationed in both these places. Honolulu, Hawaii is the best place to travel due to its superior weather, tourist attractions and resorts, and culture.
Hawaii also creates the perfect location for a love story. Mark O’Bannon guides young writers that choosing a setting is nearly as important as the story itself. He encourages people to think about the genre and the message it portrays (O’Bannon 1). Hawaii offers the perfect answer to everything screen writer Wing wanted to drive through to viewers. Hawaii is charming with white beaches, beautiful flowers, and stunning sunsets. All of these natural beauties offer the ideal equation to a heart touching love story. Although it is stereotypical, Hawaii is the perfect location to host such a unique story.
As my family and I walked into the plane, we were excited. The plane ride to jamaica stopped in L.A. and, after that, it went to jamaica. When we arrived in Jamaica it was really hot, but it was wet. I immediately took off my sweater I was wearing on the plane. We took a bus to our hotel. Then we started swimming in the water park. Every night there was a show in the main stage. The next day we woke up early to go to chukka. It was awesome. We saw a great house, rode on horses, and did a challenge course. After we came back from Chukka, we went to the water park and swimming pool at the hotel. Then we ate at fresh, which we went most of the time. The next day we woke up earlier to go to the dolphin cove. The bus was an hour late, but the wait
I expected Hawaii to be a land of good fortune since people who moved to Hawaii always sent money to loved ones. I also expected to get a lot of money faster and easier but those expectations were crushed by reality since I only get paid $4 a month which isn’t as much as I was hoping for. I have to wake up at 5:00 AM to start working on the plantations, I eat lunch at 11:00 AM, and I go to sleep at 8:00 PM. I was provided with free housing and medicine by the estate owner. The men lived in dorm housing if they were single and the room I was in wasn’t the best but it had a bed with a pillow, one window in the back of the room, and a table with one chair. On my time off, I would gamble and talk about stories with others.
After we got tired of the pool me and my family started to head to the beach. So as we walked we noticed an amazing shell so we went and picked it up and there was a snail inside of it. It jumped out of its shell at my dad and scared us to death. After that we set it back free in the ocean, the we went and played around in the amazing water. My mom and my grand ma went to go and get lunch from the beach side café. They had the best food on the beach, we all ate our lunch and were stuffed

“Were going to Puerto Rico!” my said mom and dad said. We were all so excited and but we didn't know what or where it was, “Puerto Rico is an island off the coast of Florida.” my mom explained to us. “The island has clear water, many beaches, and we have to take a plane to get there!”. I had never been on a plane before so I was even more happy. We talked about it some more, and looked up ‘Culebra, Puerto Rico’. We were going for 10 days and we were leaving in a month. I would miss a couple days of school and so would my sister and her friend.
Finishing up breakfast, we had to find our shore excursion guide. We already arranged to go reef snorkeling. We packed up everything we thought we would need and boarded the transportation bus to the docks where our excursion would begin. The driving laws in the Bahamas are extremely lenient and not enforced. As a result, everyone is a reckless driver and we experienced this first hand. Our bus ride seemed as if it was two hours long, yet in reality it took around an hour. My dad had already had enough excitement from the bus ride itself. Once funneling off the bus, we boarded the Ocean Mist catamaran. It took us about a half a mile off shore in a coral reef where we’d be snorkeling. On the way to our snorkeling spot, my mom asked the guides a quite obvious question, “So are there like sharks out here?” Our guide simply replied,”Well, we are in the ocean and in the ocean is where sharks live. So, there is a small chance you might encounter a shark.” Obviously, this made my mom a nervous wreck and she was the last to get into the water. We were then equipped with a matching pair of flippers and a pair of goggles along with a snorkel. The guides then explained the importance of things you should not touch. They said touching the wrong coral or shells could result in months in the hospital or even death. This seemed to sit well with our crowd of cruise goers. The snorkeling excursion was an experience to make Freeport a memorable one. We were able to see a diverse selection of fish and sea creatures. My mom had an encounter with a barracuda, which she said she could’ve gone without. Following the boat ride to shore and the bus ride returning to port, we passed through island venders to get back on the boat. And again, we were back sailing the ocean

Long walks on endless stretches of sand, warm tropical breezes filled with the sweet fragrance of orchids and quiet swish of palm trees swaying above. If this sounds like your idea of the perfect luxury vacation, now is the time to plan for your trip to Hawaii. When planning a vacation in Hawaii you don’t even have to think about what clothes to pack.
I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, our friends, and play all sorts of games. This experience made me start to like traveling. Every time I would get the chance to travel, I will take that chance. We were able to go to a theme park, eat many delicious foods, and play many video
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
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
