If you have not already heard the Japanese have attacked my base here at Pearl Harbor. I am captain of USS Arizona and I have failed them. Hundreds of my friends and fellow marines have died yesterday on that ship, and I wish that I could see them once again. I know that I will never be able to see their faces again because my ship is now sitting at the bottom of Pearl Harbor.…
Happiness Is Not Found on a Roller Coaster “Second thoughts? Too late. Get ready to scream!” The booming voice said over the speakers. Everyone around new this meant another car was about to take off for an intense ride on the timeless roller coaster, California Screamin'.…
After we ate that we went to bed. Now, we spent 3 days at Disneyland, but i’m only going to talk about my favorite day. That day was the last day at Disney. We left our hotel early that morning where we took a 15 minute walk to Disneyland. When we got through security instead of going into the Disneyland line, we went to the California Adventure park line.…
Journey to Florida I woke up with the glowing sun shining in my face and I realized it was time. I had been waiting for this since the first time my sister asked me to go with her, about four months ago. My sister, our friends, and I piled up in the van and we took off. It was the beginning of our journey to Panama City Beach Florida.…
March 1st, 2013, the night I turned my freedom over to a 5ft2 blonde whose name will be left unmentioned due to the integrity I have. I was a dumb stupid freshman and could not see past all the warnings I received from upper classmen warning me about this girl. I thought she was the greatest thing that walked the earth. I felt I was in love and that she was the one I would marry some day. When I found out I was moving back to Colorado after my freshmen year I felt the world was coming to an end because that means I would have to leave her behind.…
Twelve years into our marriage, Shawn and I made a trip to the ever so beautiful Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Since we had never even been on a honeymoon, this trip was a well needed vacation from the hustle and bustle of our everyday activities. The plane ride seemed to take forever. Once we landed and walked off the plane, the hot and humid ocean air hit us. I loved the airport; it was like a giant tiki hut, open to the outdoors!…
Last summer my family and I went on a trip to Key Lime Cove. It took us three hours to get there. The longest three hours of my life, I almost died. We got there and got signed in and got our rooms. I was the lucky one, I got my own room, now i’m feeling like a king.…
It was a vacation tip my parents where planning for about two or three months. I would just hear them talk about how the weather was going to be nice, see long time family members, see a different atmosphere, and enjoy eat a lot of food. Everything seems like a perfected vacation. I thought we were going to go to Houston Texas, or San Francisco California. I was completely wrong we were going to Mexico!…
My first time leaving the country. I was so excited to be going all the way to Mexico. I packed a week ahead for the journey. When we got on the plane, I was probably the most annoying person on there because I was asking my mom non-stop “Are we almost there?”…
It was an early Monday morning, I was pretty happy at the time because this trip was going to get me out of a full week of school. So, it all began at the airport, looking out of the window I could see our plane, It was a bit intimidating and I was really nervous because this was going to be my first time on a plane. Nevertheless, I had nothing to worry about though because soon enough I would come to realize that, the time I would be spending in Puerto Rico would teach me to truly enjoy the great experiences in life. So we were off, I could not wait to begin my adventure in Puerto Rico and meet all the amazing new people. When my grandmother and I landed in Puerto Rico I had no idea what I was in for, we planned the trip last minute and had no plans when we got there, or so that's what I anticipated.…
Florida and the ocean As the smell of the sweet, salty, summer air filled my lungs , I realized I was going to love Florida. We drove the whole way there and I could barely wait to see the ocean! I had never been there, and when we pulled into Daytona the air is what woke me up. It was so different, so new and sharp.…
Have you ever come to the dream world? A world that kids never want to grow up. When I came to America, I had dream to go to Disney World at least once in my life. However, my family doesn’t have the opportunity to take me there. Before coming to America, my family, in Vietnam, did not have a condition (?) to take me to the places that related to Disney World.…
The Day I Took Flight I was horrified. Not even a little bit of excitement. I did the best I could to show that I was excited. I repeated the question over and over again in my head as I walked downstairs.…
When we arrived we can see all the cruise ships that were departing that day. First we went through the terminals, sorted everything and proceeded to the cruise where we would than settle down. As soon as we approached the cruise there were two huge glass doors wide open to enter. As we entered through the main lobby lounge we were all greeted warmly by the crew members. We were so intrigued by the fascinating room.…
It was in January and I went with my family on a cruise. I finally had a chance to see my Brother and my nephew. It was the time of year that the water would be a really rough ride on the massive boat due to it being very very very windy. And it was the best week ever.…
