There are different types of traveling.

Walt Disney had a vision. He imagined an amusement park where children and their parents could enjoy rides and have fun together. But, when he was in an amusement park in the early twentieth century, he noticed that there were only random assortments of roller coasters, and how sanitation wasn't the greatest importance.

He knew exactly what he wanted, and it would be called Disneyland.…

Out of the many vacations I have taken, going to Orlando Florida was definitely my favorite. First of all, I got to swim with dolphins at a place called Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove offered many cool things to do, such as swimming with dolphins, which was my favorite part. The dolphin that I swam with was named Kai, and I even got a picture with him. I also got to snorkel with stingrays, but they had their stingers cut off for safety reasons.…

It is said that Carnival was originated in southern Europe with the Roman feast of Saturnalia, which is known as a midwinter celebration of birth and renewal, and the inversion of the norm. It developed during the Middle Ages into the Feast of Fools, in which the pretensions of the medieval Catholic Church were scandalously mocked. The Church, unsurprisingly, did its best to suppress the festival, but in long run assimilation proved more effective, and Carnival was incorporated into the Catholic faith as a final binge carne vale which was understood as the farewell to flesh before the fasting period of Lent. Carnival is known for being the greatest show on earth which encompasses the celebration of life, color and the togetherness of a people.…
