The Great Smokey Mountains is filled with an abundance of trees and hills, which offer plenty of shade in the summer, and some of the most beautiful fall foliage in the fall. Also, the high mountain peaks offer a phenomenal view of what’s down below, and all around. North Myrtle Beach offers a lot of that tends to get into unholy places. The beaches landscape is just flat, not really exciting to look at. Lastly, outside of the water that surrounds the beach, it’s surrounded by a bunch of unsightly buildings, which take away from the beautiful sunset. In conclusion, The Great Smokey Mountains scenery is much more remarkable. Next, let’s look at the weather.
The weather in The Great Smokey Mountains has cooler temperatures. While having cooler weather in the mountains it’s also less humid. Also, the mountains are prone to having a great deal of snow. The only thing people really have to worry about in the mountains is the occasional blizzards. North Myrtle Beach provides hotter temperatures and more humidity. Let’s not forget about all that sand that finds its way into everything if the wind starts to slightly blow, or the occasional hurricanes. Even though The Great Smokey Mountains has extreme weathers sometimes just like North Myrtle Beach, it would be better to be snowed in by a blizzard than washed away in a hurricane. Something else people should take into consideration when choosing a vacation spot is the variety of activities it offers for the family. The Great Smokey Mountains offers a much more assorted selection of activities for the family such as hiking, and snow skiing. The Great Smokey Mountains also has an amusement park with exotic animals, how cool is that?

Lastly, people need to consider the place they are renting when booking a vacation. Is it quiet and peaceful, or is it crowded and occupied by unruly tenants? In the Great Smokey Mountains people can rent a log cabin, and be the only family occupying it. Log cabins are great, they have fire place, they are quiet and peaceful, and the windows provide a great view of the mountains. When most people vacation at North Myrtle Beach they rent a hotel. Hotels can be filled with loud, intoxicated tenants, and the view outside is filled with unsightly buildings. Most people would rather be in a quiet log cabin sipping hot tea in front of the fire place, than having spending most of their night making complaints about noisy “neighbors”, and losing their beauty sleep. In conclusion, The Great Smokey Mountains is superior to North Myrtle Beach. The Great Smokey Mountains offers a much more stunning landscape instead of unsightly buildings. Also, the weather is much more tolerable in The Great Smokey Mountains than at North Myrtle Beach.

In the early stages of North American colonization by the English, the colony of Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607 (Mailer Handout 1 (6)). Soon after the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in 1629 (Mailer Handout 2 (1)). These two colonies, although close in the time they were founded, have many differences in aspects of their lives and the way they were settled. The colonies have a different religious system, economic system, political system, and they have a different way of doing things; whether that be pertaining to making money, practicing religion, or electing governors. Along with the differences, there are also a sameness between these two colonies. Each colony has been derived from England and has been founded by companies
Picture a beautiful city surrounded by tall skyscrapers soaring into the clouds and the beautiful statue of liberty standing still on the water. You walk down the street passing hundreds of little shops and restaurants, all the while you are taken a back by the breathtaking beauty of the city that you are gazing upon. Now picture laying on the beach at sunset listening to the ocean waves. The air is crisp and the smell of saltwater is bitter sweet. The locations I’m describing are New York City and Myrtle Beach. I have 2500 dollars to take on vacation to one of these destinations and I am comparing and contrasting the two. I will be considering the cost of travel, food, hotel, and also activity and miscellaneous expenses.

In Pigeon Forge you have nice hot summers and cold snowy winters. It also rains allot, which is nice since I enjoy rainy weather. During the winters, the mountains surrounding Pigeon Forge are capped with snow and in the spring the snow melts and creates beautiful streams which run down the mountain into rivers. These are some of the most beautiful attractions in Pigeon Forge and one of my favorite things to go see when we vacation there. " Every season in Pigeon Forge is a beautiful work of art that only a perfect God could create."

In the 1600’s, America was the new world, and the land of opportunity, which spurred settlers to travel to the region seeking religious freedom or economic success. However, as the colonies of New England and Chesapeake were settled, they had contrasting viewpoints on how they should live, and manage their newly occupied settlements. These viewpoints correlated to specific problems arising in each area. For example, the New England colonies experienced the witchcraft scare, and the Chesapeake colonies experienced civil uprisings like Bacon’s rebellion. To better understand why these colonies experienced contrastingly different problems, a closer look is required of the two colonies social, economic, and religious viewpoints, which contributed
I have been to Florida a billion times, but there are only two places that I normally visit. Sanibel Island and Destin. Traveling to Sanibel Island is almost like a tradition for my family because every year we try to go down there. My grandparents first went to Sanibel with my whole family (cousins and all) about 15 years ago and ever since then, it has been our family’s main “vacation spot”. I have gone to Sanibel almost every year, but last year I also went to Destin. Now the main reason we decided to go there as well is because we wanted to travel somewhere nearby the panhandle of Florida. The water and beaches are also very contrasting in comparison to Sanibel. Sanibel’s beaches even had heaps of sea shells going out into the water. The sand is also more dense than that of Destin. Even Sanibel’s water is darker and more cloudy, so it was crazy to see Destin’s water so clear! The beach (which is called Emerald Cove, where I stayed at) had sand that was so white and soft it

Southern hospitality is the best in the world. People that live in the South are very nice and are always willing to help another person in any way they can. If someone is from out of town and needs directions to a certain place southerners will make sure he or she knows how to get there before he or she leaves them. Southerners are very polite. Every time we pass someone on the rode, we are going to wave at him or her. Towns in the South have fewer people and everyone knows everyone. The people in the South are nicer than anywhere else in the United States.
Every year, over nine million hikers and adventure seekers travel to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park making it the most visited national park in the United States. There are abundant reasons for this, but many popular reasons include over 150 hiking trails extending over 850 miles, a large portion of the Appalachian Trail, sightseeing, fishing, horseback riding, and bicycling. The park houses roughly ten thousand species of plants and animals with an estimated 90,000 undocumented species likely possible to be present. It is clear why there was a pressing interest in making all this land into a national park. My research was started by asking the question; how did the transformation of tourism due to the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park affect surrounding cities such as Gatlinburg and Sevier County, and in return, its effect on the popularity of the park?

I haven’t always wanted to live in a different state when I was older. The thought never even crossed my mind until a couple years ago when one of my friends had been living in North Carolina. Around this time I had also been traveling to different states for some missionary work so traveling around really started to interest me. After hearing about North Carolina from my friend, I thought I wanted to live there; after some research I realized that maybe it wasn’t the best place for me, because I found Greenville. Although not perfect, Greenville, South Carolina would be a great place to live because of all the history, affordability, and easy-going way of life the area brings.
