Decent Essays
Over the course of the last eight years, it has become a tradition in our family to go on vacation during the summer break. This summer we went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I wanted to go to Punta Cana since I was 7. When I found out we were going there, I was ecstatic. After my soccer tournament in Philadelphia, we drove to Montreal to catch a flight to Punta Cana. I enjoyed the whole trip, however, the food was my favourite part. They had so much to chose from and it was all so delicious.

    Out of all the multifarious places I have traveled, the Bahamas was by far my favorite trip. I have yet figured out what made the trip so special it is among the beautiful sights I saw during my trip or the even beautiful souls I spent the trip with; my high school basketball team. We went to the Bahamas with one mission, to win the entire tournament; but we accomplished much more. We bonded with one another and experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity.
