My Vacation Essay

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.

Over the summer Megan and I went to Wisconsin with her family . It was an outstanding trip with my best friend. We went to many different places and got all kinds of things. We stayed for 6 days. We stayed in a cabin on Lake Twin.

This year, during Spring break my family and I ventured to California, the land of Starbucks and In-N-Out Burger. Our trip started out at Sea World, and my younger brother insisted we go to the Shark Encounter exhibit. Once we arrived my parents let my brother

My sister invited me to her house in Sugar Grove, a small town right outside of Chicago. My two sisters, Lilly and Grace were coming with, to spend the weekend with my sister and her fiance, Mike. After packing everything we needed for the weekend, we drove 2 hours and 30 minutes there.

A few minutes before we landed at the airport, I looked at the screen in front of me and it showed ‘33°C’. It had been a year since I last experienced that kind of heat and I couldn’t bear it last time, so I wondered how I would cope with the heat this time. As the plane began to slow and turn into terminal, I could hear people around me start to get there belongings together so that they could get off the plane first. People returned the magazines to the rack on the back of the chair in front of them and I turned off my iPod and put it back in my bag. When I took my headphones out, I felt like I was back in the real world now as I had been concentrating on listening to music for hours. It seemed like time was going slower and slower

My favorite vacation, so far, is one I went on in September 2015 with my friends Alissa and Jaidah. We all share fandom interests. On the weekend of September 19, my brother went away to spend his birthday with my dad. My mom shook me awake and informed me I could bring two friends along to a room in the Dells that we would be occupying. Almost immediately I thought of the duo. I ran downstairs and texted both of them while packing a bag. They texted back not too long after, and I told them my mom and I would pick them up anywhere from 10-11 that Saturday morning. We picked up Alissa and she tried to direct us to Jaidah’s house, but she wasn’t thorough with her

During my sophomore year of high school my family went on a cruise for vacation. On March 23rd, 2013, departed from Miami, Florida on the cruise. We stopped at Key West, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Cozumel, Mexico. My parents friends and their children came with us on the cruise. My parents, two sisters, and brother, my parents two friends, and their three children were the people that all went. We decided to go on this vacation because we wanted to enjoy the warm weather and experience the different cultures.

A few years back my mom and I went to Florida to go visit her mom, aunt, uncle, and cousin. We had taken a plane to Orlando where they live and her mom (my grandma) picked us up. It was about a 20 minute drive to her house and when we got there we basically just partied. We hung out, went to beaches, cooked out, and just had fun. After about 4 days of doing that, my great aunt said that we should go to Miami beach. So we called another one of my mom’s relatives to see if we could stay at her house for the night and when she gave us the yes we packed, got in the car, and took off. We had gotten to Miami and it was pretty cool. We had walked around a bit and went to a sandwich shop famous for reubens. After that we went

When the summer break started, I didn't really do much of anything. I slept more, went to bed late, and my dad would occasionally take me and my sister's to the pool at the Robins Air force Base. After a month, our family went on a vacation to Destin, Florida for three days. While in Destin, we went shopping, swimming in the hotel pool and the Gulf of Mexico, and caught some Pokémon. We also went to Destin's harbor by the Gulf and walked around. We went onto a two hour dolphin watching cruise, which was followed by frozen yogurt. When we had finished the cruise, we went back to the hotel. After we had changed clothes, we went to the beach to take a family picture by the Gulf of Mexico. Afterwards, we swam in the gulf for a moment then proceeded

I knew that today was going to be a fast pace before I even went into the building. This week we have two case managers and two teachers who are on vacation. I had seven cases that I had to address today. One the case that stood out to me was a case that involved three children and the mother. The father of the children was not around so it made the case a little harder. The three children all had some sort of infection on them, but that's not what they mother came to me for. She asked if I could help her get food stamps. I told her that we could work on it, in the middle of the conversation I notice that all three children looked like they were uncomfortable. All of the children were under the age of ten, and should be happy because

The only sound that filled my ears was my keyboard clicking as my fingers raced across it. I had been procrastinating from finishing this assignment all evening, but I knew I needed to get it done. The burning sunset was shining through the windows as I was finishing up. It was a peaceful silence, until I heard the soft whispers of my parents that ignited my sense of curiosity. I was concentrating hard; doing my best trying to make out the hushed words that were being spoken.

After you choose your destination the next thing you must do is reserve your airfare and hotel. This may be tough because there are many websites and travel agents that you can go through. I have found that it is cheaper and easier to go through Expedia.com. You can book your hotel and flight all together and pay one low price. I have also found that flying with Southwest Airlines is very cheap and they have many one way stops all across the country and for a cheap hotel that is very nice I recommend the Extended Stay America.

I have always loved going on vacation. Especially because this certain year we were going somewhere special. We left on a Thursday morning at 5 am, we drove for about two days (with MANY stops) then finally we made it to our gigantic condo in Tampa, FL. The condo seemed like it was a bazillion dollars it was very nice. By the time we got there it was Saturday, about 9pm. It was dark so we decided it was time to unpack and get ready for bed, a little while later we hit the hay and prepared ourselves for the adventures we had planned for the next day. Early Sunday morning we woke up and noticed it was sunny and 88 degrees, so we decided to go get our stuff on and head out to swim in the pool that

Spending quality time with family is one of my favorite childhood memories, whether it was spending time outdoors, playing ping pong, or watching a movie. My most meaningful family memory came from our vacation to Colorado back in 2004; yes, 2004. Although I don’t remember all of the events that transpired, I’m able to recall most of the memorable events that took place. It was a cool, misty morning in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and I could distinctly hear the unmistakable elk calls that echoed through the mountains. The breeze gently scraped my face as I got into the car to begin the first day of our family vacation in Colorado. I could hear the car tires gently humming on the road during this cool, foggy, Colorado morning. As I looked past the lanky pine trees, glistening drops of dew formed on the tall grass, dancing with the wind. As we moved further down the road, I could see the tip of the sun barely begin to peek over the steep, snowy mountain peaks; however, the sun was soon covered by the misty Colorado clouds. This was it: our family vacation!

Most people that have gone to Orlando for holidays, ended with good memories. I’m not the exception. The resorts, the parks, and the restaurant make Orlando the best place to enjoy for the whole family. My last holiday with my nephew in The Wall Disney World Resort was the best time of our life for my family and me.
