Vancouver Destination Development Vancouver’s Cycle of Destination Evolution Vancouver has passed through several of Butler's (1980) tourist area cycles. The trappers and sailors of the nineteenth century could perhaps be characterized as early business travelers, while the recreational hunting and fishing trade of the early 20th century attracted tourists typical of Butler's exploration stage - individuals making their own arrangements. During this period, guest expectations would have been…

The Adventures to Florida It was a hot summer morning, my mom was at work, while my dad was at the house purchasing plane tickets. I had no idea that we would be going to Florida this summer. As much as I wanted to be excited I wasn’t. It was a tough decision I had to make with myself because if I wanted to be on the volleyball team I had to stay and commit to volleyball camp. The only thing that really upset me was that our trip to Florida was on the same day as volleyball camp. Having to…

The drop slide By: Maggie Emma and I were walking up the stairs to get to the water slide we wanted to ride on at Zehnders. Zehnders was very big. It had an inside part of it with a bunch of baby slides, and an outside part that was very tall and was covered in kind of clear glass, and had all of the fun rides, and the drop slide was at the very top of it. The slide went super fast, it dropped you straight down about 20 feet. The ride was…

First things first, we flew to Florida from Denver Colorado. When we arrived in Florida, a limo was waiting to take us from the airport to the hotel we were staying at. We went to dinner and our way back we stopped at a store where me and my brother, Race brought a giant blow up alligator. After we got it blown up we got to go to the pool at our hotel and try it out. While we were in the pool playing…

The Trip “Summer, lets go!” my mom shook me. As I opened my eyes, I could barely see the airport through all the fog. I was about to go on the most exciting trip ever. Spain! I was going to Spain! I couldn’t believe it! I was going there to see my grandparents. I was going across the entire ocean. As I got out of the car I grabbed my passport and my mom came around the car with my suitcase. We walked through the parking lot and I could feel the shivers going down my spine. It was really cold…

A Trip to Chicago Who would of thought that Chicago experienced the four seasons. Since I live in Miami, Florida we don’t experience the four seasons, so when I saw the colorful leaves for the first time I was in shocked because I’ve never seen that in my life. On Thursday October 19th, 2017 taking a trip to Chicago with my family was fascinating because we flew on an airplane across the United States, got to see my brother Christopher graduate from the Navy, and we took a tour around the…

Today marks the twentieth anniversary since I have graduated from high school. My husband and I have taken a trip back to my hometown, Auburn, New York, for our high school reunion. I can remember it as if it was yesterday: walking across the stage in my crisp, white gown, moving the tassel on my cap from one side to the other, feeling the greatest feeling of fulfillment mixed with gratification. A lot has changed in my life since that moment, twenty years ago, when a diploma fell within my…
