Impossible Journey The trip to Florida over Christmas break was unlike any other. Yes, most people would jump at the opportunity to go to Florida after a winter like we had up to that point. So, let me give you some background on why the trip. Back in July my mother in-law had an epileptic seizure that rendered her in a coma, she has not awoken from and the doctors are pushing to let her go. She has been moved 3 hours from my brother in-laws house to Georgia. Thanks to our lovely health care system, it was the only place available that could take care of her needs. Perfect timing kids are out of school and it is a good time to travel so you would think. I have been out of work …show more content…
That is where the fun begins making plans before you know all the details moving by faith.. Traveling with a large family takes extra planning, meals are a big deal as well as lodging. So, we try to combine them where we can. Does the place have a kitchenette? or will they allow us to use a crock pot? what is the max number of occupants allowed in a room? (most places will not let more than 4 people stay in a room), does the hotel serve breakfast and is there laundry services available? These are thing we take into consideration to stretch that vacation dollar. The trip adviser gives an estimation of 15 hours. We plan for 4 nights Monday night through Thursday night to stay in a hotel. Going over every detail and asking are we sure. So, we start looking up hotels in the area close to my wife’s brother. When we put in how many guests, the price doubles as well when we ask about pets. We make reservations at the Navy Lodge at NAS (Naval Air Station) Jacksonville 2 adjoining. Rooms, but No pets, other arrangements are made. We sit down and figure out how much it will take to make this Journey. This where faith kicks in, not knowing and still pushing forward. By the time we left all funds were provided by family and friends who had it placed on their hearts to help us through a tough situation. This assured us with the answered prayer and …show more content…
the morning after Christmas, up and ready to go, yeah right teenagers. Everyone filed down to the van to do the last-minute packing. I’m trying to help, but instead I’m getting in the way of the master packer. She claims I’m as bad as the kids when it comes to a road trip. The last bag is in place, kids are seated blankets and pillows strewn over the back of the van, the dog on her perch on the center console between my wife and I, the kids are ready to go back to sleep. 5:15 am out of the driveway, we move down the road our Journey has
For years I’ve been planning a family vacation but had never decided a pleasant and fascinating place to visit. A lot of people relate the adventures in San Antonio for tourists. To mention a few, The Riverwalk, Sea World, Six Flags Fiesta, and The Tower of the Americas are the main attractions that would be perfect for a family trip. I was so enthusiastic and explored more into it. I gave my family the great news of going and exploring this amazing city on our own! San Antonio offers the best of attractions and activities in all Texas! Whether you’re looking for popular entertainment for the whole family or to spend time with your friends, I was so positive I had made a superb decision!
As you can imagine I was contributing my fair share of all the clamor, but after about seven hours it soon became apparent that the effect of energy drinks would wear off. If you could have been there and looked around you would have seen some people reading, other talking amongst themselves; however, I was playing halo on my laptop. About two hours later after just getting into Colorado everything bad you can imagine started happening. I was asleep at this time, but when I heard the loud BOOM!, SNAP!, and HISS, I was instantly awake and wondering what had just happened. At first everyone thought it was just a blow out, but after our youth pastor got out and checked all the tires it soon became clear that there was a much bigger problem at hand. So our youth pastor decided we should call a mechanic and a tow truck, the problem was deciding if we should call...
The day of my grandparents had told me they have been wanting to go to the Florida Keys and asked if I would like to join. So of course i wanted to go. Oh and when they told me i could bring a friend along i was jumping with happiness inside. They told me we would be going for a couple weeks and they had all expenses covered. So that day I started talking to Jamie and asking her when she would be back, because at that time she was in Florida visiting family. She had told me she would be back . So i asked her is she would like to join me and take a trip to the Keys with me. I could tell she was so excited when i asked her because she texted me back all in caps and said “CALL ME”. So i called her to let her know all of the details. So she ended up getting back .So when she got back from Florida we went to Walmart and bought a lot of
We also shouldered our own plane tickets in going to West Virginia. All along we thought and expected that we are going
We must travel 1600-2,000 miles but I’m ready and looking forward to the opportunity. This trip cost about an average of $1000 which is allot of money in our time. Lots of families only earn a few dollars a week. We've done allot to prepare for this trip. We paid money for this trip and must leave so much of our property behind. My family members are fighting because they cant decide what to take on this trip, and what to leave behind.
They all loaded onto the bus at 8:52 A.M right after P.E. Then Mr. OJ stepped on the bus and told them that they need to respect the people also, other people there. Then he stepped off and the bus driver closed the door to take off. They pulled on to the interstate to head to Kansas City. When they started to get on the interstate, they noted there weren’t many cars on the interstate as usual. After driving for hour or so they weren’t any more cars they were the only ones.
After an exhausting,but fun trip I realized that something good always comes out of something devastating.The thanksgiving break that I thought would be devastating turned out to be one of the best memories of my childhood.I learned a lot from this experience that I will carry on with the rest of my life.I also realized you have to make the most out of a situation that you don't like.This Thanksgiving Break will never be
You’ll have a lot of visitors. Moving to Florida and you’ll never have to worry about having visitors again. Everyone will want to visit you, so find a place large enough to accompany them all.
Vacations aren't always perfect there is always something that goes wrong. At least in my experiences. A perfect vacation to me is when we are all together as a family,which honestly doesn't happen that much. Having a 20 year old brother an 18 year old in post secondary school can make things complicated. Or having a vacation with no,ILLNESS, which can be very,very hard to do!! And I know I’m not the only one who has experienced this on a vacation!
Working incessantly for numerous hours a week, tending to the children, preparing healthy meals, and trying to remain a normal human being often takes a toll on many of us. Vacation time allows us to unwind, have fun, create everlasting memories, and remove ourselves from the stressors of everyday life that tend to exhaust us. Many vacation destinations are home to amusement parks that compete to receive your hard earned cash, but the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida is the location of the finest theme parks in the world. Walt Disney World is home to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios that provide high quality attractions, unbelieveable character experiences, signature fine dining, and outstanding cast members
I was born in Sri Lanka, a small island torn by a civil war. As the violence grew, my parents decided to move us to the United States so we can have a better life. In 2001 my parents left everything they had to start a new life the United States. . I came from nothing. All Throughout my life, my parents worked hard to provide for my family so my brother and I can have a better future. Their sacrifice is what drives me every day. Their Sacrifice and hard work motivates me to work harder.
At last, we’re in Florida! But, before the fun can start, we have to do some other stuff. We have to take my grandfather to our relatives in Miami. So, we now have to drive 4 hours from Orlando to Miami cramped up in the white van.
America, Almost every single person on earth has a dream of living in a country full of freedom, liberty, and opportunity. The United States has been providing these benefits ever since it was founded a few hundred years ago. So when I found out that my family would be coming to America, I had already started planning my future of growing up here. Just like any other person, I was feeling enthusiastic and a little nervous of leaving my native country and coming to America to start a better life. I was completely lost in my thoughts of happiness, that I became unaware of all the difficulties that my family and I would face once we step into our new lives. Among these difficulties were the change of language, change of system, and the variety of different cultures.
If I were to visit Florida I would most likely go to some of their theme parks. Florida is known for their most love theme parks such as Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, SeaWorld, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, and Universal Studios. There are many theme parks and so many things to do at the theme parks. There's also a downside to the parks it would take you days on end to get to all maybe weeks and it cost a lot just to get into on park by yourself and there’s very little shade at most of the parks but! they sell lots of things that can cool you off such as tiny fans, refreshments, and mist. It’s a great way to have some fun for once in one of these parks.
Moving from a highly diverse community to a less diverse community has to be the weirdest yet interesting culture shock I ever had to deal with. As a young child, I did not know about the outside world. I thought everyone rides the bus or the metro, graffiti on the wall is normal and traffic wouldn’t matter as much since everything I needed was within walking distance sometimes. There were shocking things I learned once I moved to Nebraska.
