Trip Essay

Don't be in a hurry and time it right Plan your trip with enough time to only drive a maximum of 6 hours per day. Plan longer stop rather than a lot of short ones. If you take a longger break and let the kids get out it will make getting back on the road a lot easier and eliminate a lot of the fussing. Also, plan your start time around you child's normal nap time. This allows the kiddos to sleep for some of the trip. Take a trip to Family Dollar Visit your local Family Dollar and grab a few…

grandpa who barely remembers me, and my aunts and uncles that make fun of how tan I am. I still loved them though. I couldn’t wait to come back. It’s been so long since I’ve seen them, and they’ve probably been missing me. It was a week before our trip. My whole family packing up. Dad getting the flight details situated. Mom packing up gifts for the family overseas. The last day of school just passed and I’m so ecstatic for vacation. It’s 9PM and it’s one hour before my uncle and aunt drives…

right after this trip and I thought it was too early to be planning now. We boarded the ship and it was huge. The first thing we did was set our stuff in our designated room and we ate lunch at the eloquent buffet. It was really stomach-filling and we decided to go swimming…

heat hit me with a cloud of dust that burned my eyes, I cleared my throat with a small cough. Now my head fully fixated on the ground as I trekked up the hill. To trip on the rocky unbalanced road would not only be dangerous, but also thoroughly embarrassing if seen by my eighteen mission trip team members who followed behind me. This trip to Haiti was my third, I had walked this road many times before, but this year my destination was different. Like previous year, we planned to spend the…

This was quite the experience for myself. Learning about new cultures and worldviews, facing many fears, pushing my physical and mental limits, and doing my best to understand perspectives I do not necessarily agree with. It was my first official trip outside of the Valparaíso region and I was truly flowing with the moments as they came. No set plans but plenty of possibilities and a new lively city to explore. Many new friendships formed, plenty of life lessons learned, and definite personal…

started off as just another typical trip to the beach, but little did I know that after this my opinion of the beach and everything associated with it would be completely altered. It was a thunderstorm to remember, I still remember it to this day and it was over ten years ago. I had never felt so small and powerless until the trip to the Outer Banks, where I had truly discovered the real power of nature. Our family for the past couple years, had taken trips to multiple different…

I thoroughly enjoyed the surgery field trip, both the live knee surgery aspect of it and the Body World, as both parts allowed me to view the body through a new lens. A lot of information we’re taught in class has to do with theory using pictures straight from a coloring book, consequently meaning that we rarely ever get to see the real thing. For many of us, including me, our conception of reality regarding the body, muscles, bones, and our lifestyle in general is twisted. Going to Telus Spark…

God has given to them through Jesus. More than several thousand years’ separation, these arrogant people became different nations. Missionaries who travel to different cultures or countries are facing great challenges. When Matteo Ricci went mission trip all the way from Italy to China, in order to communicate with local people, he learned to speak and read in Chinese, and dressed like a Chinese. He did all these things so that he could share the gospel with people in a foreign country. Mission…

Personal Narrative “OMG! Really?!” I exclaimed. “Yes, we will be going on a road trip to Disneyland. But we aren’t going to just Disneyland, you know,” my mom announced. “Yeah, we will be going to a bunch of different states and seeing lots of different sites. It will take about a month, as well,” dad added. I sat there in shock. I really wanted to go to Disneyland but a month long trip? What about my friend’s birthday party and the beginning of summer slumber party? “OK...I’m in, but we…

This past summer I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Hungary and serve on a mission trip team with twenty-one other teens and leaders from my church. I, along with the rest of the missions team, saw the sights of Budapest, feasted on Hungarian dishes, and revealed in the beauty of the Danube, but more importantly, we taught and loved on more than eighty kids for one week. For this trip, our mission was to run an English camp at a nearby school. In the mornings we taught English as a…
