“Forever”
I will forever be tied there. Everything about it - the food, the air, the smell, the sights - was wonderful! It all started when my great grandpa Forst died and left my mom money. He loved to travel, so my mom knew that we should use the money for travel. A couple of years later my parents said,
“We're going to Italy.”
“Really?!” I exclaimed.
“You better believe it, or you're not going!”
“ I believe it, I believe it!!!!” As soon as I stepped into the airport, I knew it was going to be an adventure I would never forget. We took a plane from Norfolk to Atlanta, and then to Italy. As we got on the plane to Italy, I realized how exciting this was going to be. My heart was pounding as I looked at my ticket and saw that we were all in first class. Even the flight was a new experience. We were offered gourmet food for dinner - steak, soup, salad, and dessert. Then for breakfast I had french toast.Yum! The seats reclined into beds,they had sheets, blankets, and big fluffy pillows. I couldn't sleep. For most of the 9 hour flight, I looked out the window, talked and watched TV.
We arrived in florence at 11:00 a.m. even though it felt like night. We checked in and had our first meal in Italy. I had a little bowl of heaven, pasta with meat sauce! My sister had a sort of flatbread sandwich called a panini, but our vacation was not just relaxing. We got to work soon.
Heart pounding, shallow breath, darkness, and then finally... the sun broke through like a trophy waiting to be given. We climbed the Duomo right after we climbed the bell tower. Imagine climbing a 20 story skyscraper - that's what we did. But we didn't do just that. After Florence, we went to San Gimignano (which my dad and I call Saint Jimmy Johns) and took a cooking class. We got to eat the delicious food we made! We devoured steak and peppercorn stew, salad and Tiramisu, which is like an ice cream that's not ice cream. We also visited a cheese and wine factory. My mom loved the wine part, and I just thought it was a bunch of old barrels in a cold room. In the cheese factory, we had to wear shoe covers. The guide told us how they made the cheese and showed us some samples. One cheese looked like bread and was made of a bunch of other cheese
Our first stop was San Jose. We arrived late at night, so after we checked into the Don Carlos and found our rooms, a group of us went to go find food. We ended up eating at a pretty fancy restaurant about a block away from the hotel. It was pretty expensive and it was late at night so we got a pizza to go, but this would be nothing like the other things we would eat. The next day we
Everyone can imagine their own perfect getaway. My vacation to Orlando became the magnum opus summer trip. Before, most of my vacations with my family consisted of locations in Oklahoma and Texas. However, Orlando provided serendipitous moments of my life.
Yes! I am almost there! It is landing. I hear the wheels coming down. The moment when the wheels touched the ground I felt the airplane shaking and vibrating.
Although I couldn’t understand much, it was interesting to hear the locals talk to each other in Italian. It was a pleasant culture switch from always hearing English. There were giant boulders stacked on the coast, stretching out into the water like a mini peninsula. Once I climbed to the tip, I sat down and felt a wave nostalgia come over me. The weather was hot, but the waters were cool. Sitting there, I pulled out a book and relaxed while soaking in the sun and dipping my feet in the water, hearing the waves lap against the boulders. There was always a faint citrus scent that came and went with the wind. This was because of the many lemon trees and exotic flowers that adorned the hills. That was also the first time I saw a lemon
The limo came to a halt, letting out all of its passengers and into the place where many famous feet have walked the halls and crazy things took place. WHOOSH,feet were lifting in the air, like an angel taking off into outer space, where adults and kids had large grins on their face, exploring the outside and differences from America. Everywhere someone can turn, they see adults with exceptionally large drinks in their hands, gift shops everywhere but most importantly: everyone was having an amazing time and no one fighting for once. The famous celebrities walking around us and we not noticing is just the absurd thing about it! The place, known as Cabo Wabo San Lucas located in Mexico, where there have been memories made and the place where people’s lives could have potentially changed.
The last time I went to Italy was the summer going into 8th grade. Normally when we go to Italy we take a different trip either within Italy or somewhere close. My grandparents are very active and love traveling so they want us to be able to experience different places. So they
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 a while, my parents, sisters ,and younger brother came walking down into the cafeteria to eat and it was about 7:00 and we were going to leave at about 8:00 so we had time. The cafeteria was full of people traveling in and out of the hotel. There was a long line of trying to figure out what they were going to eat and little kids running around.
There were so many rollercoasters and water rides. I remember riding in the blue tornado with my cousin, cousin’s husband & nieces, it was astonishing when I got out of the ride, I was wet from head to toe. I can also recall my mother promised to take a vacation before I arrived to Italy. My mother and cousin were always busy with work, they both equally didn’t really have much time for me. She was supposed to give me a tour or at least show me around. We discussed about going to Rome, Sicily & Venice but she lied to me, I didn’t get to see any of those places and this was my first trip to Europe. It’s okay because my uncle took me to see my favorite team in Italy, A.C. Milan & I got to see my favorite soccer player,

The darkness of night fades into light over Guam's touristy strip, basking Tumon Bay in the early morning glow of the powerful tropical sun. High above the waves and beach in our hotel room, the breeze coming in through our lanai is the first hint of daybreak. Through the rustling curtains, the breeze allows the sun, but not the beachgoers, to peek into our room.
I was greeted by the shining yellow sun pouring in through the window and the smell of breakfast coming through the door and entering my bedroom. I get up and get dressed for the best vacation I was going to. I was planning on making big memories while on the trip. I walk into the kitchen and see my mom cooking.
Last summer my mom and I flew down to Colorado. It was one day that my mom was thinking about flying down there, for her mom’s birthday. So there was a little bit of discussion, about who, and when we're going to the party. I myself have never, been on an airplane, my mom has been on an airplane. So it was very new to me. So we decided, that we we're going to go to Seattle, then from Seattle, take an airplane to Colorado. My oldest sister drove us to the airport. We flew from Anchorage to Seattle. In Seattle, me and my mom ate sushi, cookies and had coffee. It was amazing.Then we took an airplane to Colorado. When we tried to fly off, from Seattle, it was very foggy, so it took us maybe more than an hour to try to fly off. It was scary, but I slept through most of it.
I rushed up the slippery, cold, wet stairs to get in line for the next slide. This place is too good to be true, I thought. As if she could read my mind, my best friend Parker agreed, this vacation has been the best trip ever. Parker and I are vacationing in Florida with our families for spring break. We had pestered our parents for a trip to Disney World, but we settled on an island resort in Florida. Now I am super happy we chose this place. From the best restaurants to the best water park ever, I couldn’t have asked for more. Parker and I spent the whole day all at one pool, only going on three slides. After we had tired ourselves out, we headed back to our condos to meet our families.
I was more than ready to enter Watiki Indoor Water Resort in Rapid City, South Dakota on July 26, 2016 I set a towel down on the beach chair. I was so excited to make the third day of vacation GREAT!!!!
