I have been blessed with a family that can go on a lot of vacations. I have been able to go to places like Aruba, Mexico, Disney, and Universal. There have always been two vacations that I have wanted to go on and never gotten the chance. Those two vacations are a trip to the Grand Canyon, and to the Caribbean. Now I have to decide which vacation I would go on if I had to choose. Deciding between two vacations is very hard, even after researching the costs of travel, the price of food, the excursions, and how much I would enjoy it. My love of excitement and scenic views leads me to consider a vacation in the Grand Canyon. I would drive my car to Memphis where I would park it in a secure lot, where it would stay for the entirety of my trip. …show more content…
First off, the prices of travel are very different. For the Grand Canyon trip, the plane trip to Flagstaff is around $550 and once I would get there, I would have to rent a car, and pay for gas all week. For the cruise, I would have no extra fees for transportation after you get there. Plus I would be able to drive to New Orleans from Tupelo and I would not have to buy a plane ticket. The prices and quality of food would probably be very different also. In the Grand Canyon the hotel would provide my breakfast, but I would have to pay around thirty dollars a day for lunch and dinner. While on the cruise, all on ship meals I would eat would be free except for the three meals I would have to eat off ship for the excursions. While the food might be cheaper on the cruise, it would probably be of poorer quality due to the fact that the cruise ship and their staff would have to prepare meals for the whole ship. In the restaurants that I would be eating in at the Grand Canyon, the meals e cost more, but they would be of better quality due to the fact that they do not have to mass produce. You also have to consider the excursions. The excursions in the Grand Canyon would be based more around sightseeing than excitement.
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.
A surprising fun fact about the Grand Canyon is that it is one of the few natural la...

Common snow clothes were suitable outdoors clothing for the time of the year I went and regular camping supplies worked out for me during my stay. Denali National Park is hands down the most beautiful place in America and is worth every penny it costs you to travel there and experience nature in its purity. It was a life altering experience climbing mountains high above the clouds and seeing how truly magnificent and compelling the earth must have looked thousands of years ago.

Ask yourself “if I could take a trip ANYWHERE where would I go” well, I asked myself the same question where would I go? Here is my answer, I would go to the Bahamas because I think that I need to try something new. I think that if I went to the Bahamas then i would try everything because i am very deprived as in i don’t take advantage of the things i could be doing.

I hope the next few paragraphs help you make that tough decision easier.
If I had no limits as to how much I could spend on a vacation, I would take a trip to different cities in Mexico. My dads side of the family is Latino and many of my relatives live in Mexico. My month long trip would consist of a variety of cities I have visited before and others that I would be visiting for the first time. I would take advantage of Mexicos rich culture by participating in the peoples customs and getting as much experience as possible. The trip would be very meaningful because my heritage is something that I am very proud of and passionate about.
One of the most enjoyable things in life are road trips, particularly to the Colorado mountains. Getting to spend time with your family and friends, while being in a beautiful place, is irreplaceable. The fifteen-hour road trip may feel never-ending, but gazing at the mountains from afar makes life’s problems seem a little smaller and causes worries to become a thing of the past. Coming in contact with nature, untouched, is a surreal experience. My family trip to the Colorado mountains last summer was inspiring.
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
