Family Vacation Essay

How many times have you gone on a family vacation? I have only been out of Iowa three times, all on school field trips. My parents hate traveling so I haven’t ever gone on a vacation. This is why I would absolutely love to be able to go to Santorini, Greece someday. I would love to be able to feel the cool breeze of the ocean air on my face, feel the cool, crunchy texture of the sand in between my toes, and taste the salt water on my lips. First, I’m planning to go when I’m twenty nine, because by then I’ll have graduated college and have had a full time job for a while and be able to save a lot of money. I would like to go before I’m thirty. I would like to do at least one major trip every year before I hit a milestone year, like thirty, forty and fifty. I have a large fear of becoming old and realizing I never did anything fun or crazy in my life. I would love to be able to tell my grandkids all about the crazy adventures there grandma had. I also think being exposed to a new culture and seeing a whole new society would be an incredible experience. However I am extremely nervous about the plane ride, but I think overcoming that fear will help build my confidence and show me I can do it if I tried. Obviously, it’ll

If I didn’t die on the plane ride to Greece there is no why I would be able to leave without jumping out of a plane. Falling 200 feet every second traveling at 200 mph, the instructor would have to jump with me so he can pull the parachute because I’ll probably be too scared. Once I land I’ll have to lay on the ground for a while just to make sure I’m still alive. To help balance out crazy with fun I’m going to go parasailing. My heart will be racing before we take off and going higher and higher in the air. My knuckles will turn white from holding onto the bar so tight. Once I get comfortable I’ll let go and put my hands up and scream, that’s when I’ll know I’m making my dreams come

    It was spring break. A student’s best time of the year, the days starting to get warmer and longer. It was the best time to be alive and joyful. A vibrant child awoken from his dream as he heard someone mutter from a far distance. He was ravenous, like a bear is hungry after he has awakened from his long nap during Spring.…

    Costa Rica Essay I have always liked to travel whether going on long car rides up the coast of California or riding in a train across the United States. My family raised me to be spontaneous and try new experiences. On the weekends we went on little “adventures” where early in the morning (sometimes my parents would wake me up at 4 in the morning) we would all climb into the car, Huddling in our blankets, we all found a comfortable spot in the freezing van using the arm rest and pillows to make a make-shift beds.…

    The anticipation for Thanksgiving break is over the top. The thought of home cooked meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.…

    When I was in 2nd grade, I had the long term goal of graduating high school, and up to this day I would consider that one of my now short term goal is to graduate high school. Before I am able to graduate I want to set myself to do well in AP Calculus by getting an 90 or higher. My grades are really important to me. I have several teachers tell us that grades are not important and what really matters is what you really know. They might be right, but I feel that my grade reflects on what I know and if I have an 80 that bothers me because that grade is telling me that I am not trying my hardest and that I am missing something.…

It was something they started a few years ago, I guess that is when they hit their mid-life crisis stage! Every time they came back from one and just hearing about it, made me want to go more and more.…

    Bahamas The trip I would like to go on is the Bahamas. It has to be a fun place to go because everyone goes there. Once you’re there you can do many things. It would be nice to see the ocean because it looks different than the one at Myrtle Beach and they say the sand there is pink so it would be a nice thing to see because I have never been to a pink sanded beach.…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…

    My initial thought of going to Japan is “Are we going to see some awesome neon city in Akihabara or are we going to some rural area with some magnificent landscape that I have seen in the magazines?”. Surprisingly my dad told me we are going to stay in Japan for a month with my grandma and grandpa in Sapporo where many fresh meat is being made locally. Day before the journey begins, I realized this will be my first time riding a plane as well. This frightened me because I am afraid of heights. I fixed this by reading a book on how to not be afraid of heights while riding the airplane (This is funny because my dad thought I was ridiculous).…

Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time. My brother and I would play video games and watch movies to past the time away and eat the snacks mom would pack us.…
