As I gave my father and brothers a hug goodbye, not once did it cross my mind that it was a permanent farewell. Extremely excited about my summer vacation to Florida, all I could think about was the adventure we were all going to embark upon that is my mother, Paula, my step-father Florentino, and my older brothers Luis and Saul and I. Visiting Florida was truly a vacation to remember forever, going to Florida’s world-renowned theme parks and riding the thrilling roller coaster rides that made…

year of 2012 I went on a vacation which I thought would be one of the scariest things of my life turned out to be one of the most fun things I have ever done. I’ve never flown over the ocean before so with my imagination I thought of many outrageous things that could go wrong. We had two flights, one from Chicago to Atlanta and another from Atlanta to Nassau. Our first flight didn’t go to well, I was sick at the time so my head was congested which made the popping in my ears unbearable. When…

memorable vacations, but my favorite was the vacation I took last summer to Chicago. Chicago is full of a whole bunch of fun things to do. I mean if you like old buildings and artifacts. My family and I actually drove up to Milwaukee first, went to a baseball game, drove to Chicago did some awesome stuff there, went to Iowa to go to the Field of Dreams, then came home. The drive up to Milwaukee was long and tiring, if it wasn’t for all the food we packed I would’ve been bored out of my mind.…

During our vacation to Florida, we did many new things in just five days. On the first day, we ran a half marathon in the hills of Kentucky. Then after we ran, we drove straight from Kentucky to Florida to go to Disneyland. Then after Disney, we went to the beach for a couple of days. On the first day of the vacation, we drove to Kentucky and checked into a hotel. The next morning we ran the Hatfield-McCoy half marathon. The race had a huge mountain at mile six that was incredibly steep…

Every three years, we take a vacation. Florida. Florida. Florida. The same place. Every. Single. Time. Why? Family. 6 PM the night before. We go to bed, to get prepared for a long day. Anxiety overwhelms my ability to sleep. I finally feel sleepy, and start to drift off. The next morning, my parents wake me up at 2 A.M. to go to the airport. I get out of bed with the feeling of a zombie. I just want to sleep. I get dressed, and head down to the car. We load our luggage, and head…

Foreign films don’t always have political messages, but when they do they portray the reality of the situation. In the film “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation” is based on the reality that many families in Brazil were going through in the 90’s, when the military took control over the government and anyone who would speak up was considered a communist. Through one family the film maker did a great job at showing how the government overtake caused a huge impact on thousands of families and many…

Over my high school’s spring break, I went on a mission trip through my church with my family to Jamaica. When there, I had multiple situations where I had some misunderstanding in communication, most commonly when speaking with the native Jamaicans. On our second day there, my church group had planned out Vacation Bible School sessions for the kids in Jamaica. I was talking to one of the boys there, who was around the age of 13. We were sitting at one of the tables and some of his friends…

My vacation to Georgia was wonderful. I went to Six Flags with my family and rode on all the rides. This one ride I rode on called the “Bullet Zone” had my heart racing. The roller coaster slowly went up the tracks and then dropped down really fast. I had nightmares about that ride for weeks. Another ride I rode on called the “Flying Devil” had my heart racing too. The ride was flipping and turning so much to the point that I almost threw up. There were other things I enjoyed at the six flags…

that I would grow up and go someplace new and live a more exciting and fulfilling life. However, my perspective all changed after my freshmen year when my family had the exciting opportunity to go on a vacation to France. My family has always been keen on traveling to off the beaten path destinations for vacation spots. So, while we spent a couple of days in Paris, we spent a majority of our vacation in small cities and countrysides west of Paris. We enjoyed the time…
