The faulty television advertisements showed the Bahamas as a restful and beautiful place to go on a family vacation. That is why my parents picked it. As a typical eleven year old boy, the news had me totally excited to ride on an airplane and go out of the United States. I expected it to be the most unforgettable, magnificent vacation of my life.
My first glimpse of the Bahamas met all my expectations. It was gorgeous! There was a constant breeze and not a single cloud in the blue sky. The smell of the ocean wafted on the air. On route to our hotel, we saw the gorgeous, white sandy beaches just as advertised.
The hotel appeared quite impressive with high ceilings, marble floors, as well as, a marble front desk. Regardless of all the visual

Meanwhile, my father had run to the hotel concierge and was instructed to buy vinegar from the little grocery store across the street. Upon his return (which seemed forever), my mother and sister quickly filled the tub with the cold vinegar. I doubted if I understood correctly, but my mother seemed to be shouting for me to sit down. Even through the pain I thought that this keeps getting worse. After a few minutes, the agony was subsiding. It slowly became tolerable enough for me to speak. I confided in my sister, “Damn, I thought I was a goner.” followed by, “Oh my God, this vinegar stinks”. I did not get much empathy even though I admit she looked a little concerned. Of course, my annoying sister could not resist such a great opportunity for long and began teasing me and tossing ice cubes into the …show more content…
I can only describe the feeling as experiencing extra hypersensitive skin covered in shards of fiberglass. OUCH!! Exhausted, I only wanted to sleep and would have to welcomed the shroud of sleep. The cool sheets seemed so inviting, but there was no way I could bear anything touching me.
The rest of the vacation was a series of mental negotiations and more pain. Could I sit on the cool leather seats in the booth for dinner? If I sat on a napkin, could I slide to my space? Could I get comfortable in bed on my side? But sleep wasn’t even a consideration after the first twenty minutes. Any movement I made in bed sent shock waves rippling through my skin to my brain. Each hour brought a new set of challenges.
The next couple of days proved to be anything but relaxing. I avoided the heat of the outdoors and jealously watched everyone else could romp in the ocean and lay on the beach. Then the thunderstorms swept in and it rained endlessly. My parents forced me to accompany them on their outings. I could not decide what was worse- the rain hitting my legs or my total depression caused by my inability to enjoy a great

This past summer, my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had just docked at the second port, Nassau, and were preparing to exit the gigantic ship named the Carnival Fantasy. Once we got to the city, I noticed it was bustling with people of all different backgrounds and cultures. The roads were narrow and some even hilly. I remember coming to the conclusion that a lot of people in the Bahamas must have road rage what from the blaring car horns I could hear around every corner. My family and I were walking along the sidewalk, glancing into shops as we passed them. The weather was unbearably hot, but growing up in South Carolina allowed my family and I to push onward with our adventure. The sun burn on my back started to pulsate in pain any time the sunlight hit it, so we decided to stick to the side of the buildings that provided shade.
As my family and I walked into the plane, we were excited. The plane ride to jamaica stopped in L.A. and, after that, it went to jamaica. When we arrived in Jamaica it was really hot, but it was wet. I immediately took off my sweater I was wearing on the plane. We took a bus to our hotel. Then we started swimming in the water park. Every night there was a show in the main stage. The next day we woke up early to go to chukka. It was awesome. We saw a great house, rode on horses, and did a challenge course. After we came back from Chukka, we went to the water park and swimming pool at the hotel. Then we ate at fresh, which we went most of the time. The next day we woke up earlier to go to the dolphin cove. The bus was an hour late, but the wait
Honolulu, Hawaii and Nassau, Bahamas are two very popular tourist destinations. However, in two different oceans, they are both located on an island. The cities each attract tens of thousands of visitors a year. It can difficult to try and decide which place to spend a vacation. I have vacationed in both these places. Honolulu, Hawaii is the best place to travel due to its superior weather, tourist attractions and resorts, and culture.
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
The first thing I heard was Virginia Beach vacation, and then in excitement I ran and got my stuff and started to pack. The part I was most excited about was that the hotel is a beachfront hotel room.I was so excited because I love the beach and I really wanted to go back to the beachfront hotel and stay there. I went there when I was in second grade. I have gotten to go there a few times since second grade, but I did not get to stay there overnight.
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
Darkness seeped from the edges and the world around me began to fade as I counted back from 10. Twelve hours later, a soft “ouch” escaped my breath as the nurses transferred me from one bed to another; just like that, I was out again for the night.
In John Stossel's article, "What’s Fair," he challenges the notion of government intervention as a cure for income inequality. Stossel's stance pivots on the assertion that government involvement worsens rather than improves the issue. He contends that bureaucratic interference suppresses economic growth and individual initiative, ultimately obstructing rather than promoting fairness and prosperity. Instead, Stossel advocates the quality of free markets, asserting that they offer the most successful pathway to equitable outcomes. By allowing competition and innovation to prosper, free markets empower individuals to succeed based on hard work, thereby creating a fairer society.
the rain was pelting down on my head. My car had just broken down in
The hotel’s high ceilings, spacious public spaces, white shimmering marble floors, rich cedar paneling, and gilt surfaces all conveyed royalty and magnificence, merging biblical imagery with the ideal of the grand hotel as a palace for all.
On our way to the Bahamas we went through some rough water and Seth and Cameron felt sick the whole time we were in the rough seas. When we docked at one of the Bahamas islands we had 10 hours before we had to be back on the cruise ship. The first thing we did was we went and relaxed on the beach. After 2 hours on the beach we went and rented jet skis. Unexpectedly a harsh storm coerced us farther and farther away from the island of which we rented the jet skis and our cruise was boarded.
After a quick breakfast, I pulled some of my gear together and headed out. The car ride of two hours seemed only a few moments as I struggled to reinstate order in my chaotic consciousness and focus my mind on the day before me. My thoughts drifted to the indistinct shadows of my memory.
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
