Cruise to The Bahamas
Cruise to The Bahamas

During my junior year in high school me, my mom and some of her friends went on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was a three day cruise leaving Miami going to Nassau, Bahamas which is their capital. It was a Thursday night in May 2008 and we had a flight to catch to Miami. Even though the boat didn’t leave till the next day in the afternoon, it was best to get there early in case you missed your flight because most cruises aren’t refundable. We ending up flying to Fort Lauderdale airport which was not that far from our hotel which was in Miami. When we touched down in Florida it was beautiful. I’ve been to Florida before but it was when I was young so I didn’t remember anything. It was night time and the palm trees was so pretty and the weather was perfect, especially since I was coming from Michigan. We ended up staying at the hotel which was not to far from the carnival porting dock. When I woke up that friday I was super excited because I knew that I was leaving the country and going to Paradise. We did some shopping in the morning but we had to be on the cruise by four p.m. When the cab pulled up to the boat my jaw dropped. It was a carnival cruise ship that I thought was the size of the titanic. We boarded the ship and went to our room to relax. The ship had more than thirteen floors and multiple decks and pools. The first day I got lost each time I had to go back to my room because the ship was that big. First they had a life jacket drill which just explained what to do if something was too ever happen to the ship. After that that’s when the deck party began. They had karaoke, dancing and just little meet & greet activates. Next thing you knew it was time for bed and then the next morning is when I woke up in the Bahamas. I thought I was dreaming because it looked like a scene from a movie or a picture from a calendar. We ate breakfast then finally stepped foot on the actual Bahamas land. The weather was perfect. Next thing you

    The best trip I have ever went on was when my family and I went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. My aunt was getting married and my mom’s side of the family was invited to come. We got to go on this vacation last February. We left very early one morning and we went to the airport. It was very cold and the air was very dry. We got to the airport in Sioux Falls and we went through security and waited to get on the plane. Once we finally got on the plane I was very excited to get there. We had a connection in Minneapolis and we had a direct flight from Minneapolis all the way to Punta Cana. Once we finally got to Punta Cana, we were getting off the plane and I could feel the humid, warm air. We had to wait in a very long line to go through customs. After that, we got on a taxi that took us to our resort. The roads in the Dominican Republic are not much different from the roads in the U.S. They still had stop lights, billboards, and the same traffic rules. One big difference we saw on the way to the…

    The summer of 2016, I organized a venturesome trip for my dad and I to share in the Florida Keys during the weekend of our birthdays. Our trip was scheduled for the end of July, which happened to be the hottest and the most chaotic time to go because of lobster season. As a Floridian, I have traveled to many destinations throughout Florida; but never before have I gone as far south as the keys. Recalling the first time I visited the Florida Keys is one of my fondest memories.…

    That day we checked into our campsite in Christmas, Michigan. After we got done setting up our campsite, we went sightseeing along Lake Superior. The water was as blue as the sky on a sunny day. It was a beautiful sight. The water was frigid when we waded across the sand bars and the hem of our shorts touched the water. Next, we went to check in to meet up with a group to go kayaking. Once we got to where we were going, we got on all of our gear to keep us safe and dry, then we set sail. It was hard paddling at first, but then we got used to it. I was with my mom and my sister was with my dad. We went into this cave like thing where a rock fell onto the main rock and made a tunnel. The water was hitting the rocks and the color from the minerals was coming off when we wiped the rock with our hand. We used the rust color as war paint on our faces. When it was time to go back to our starting point, we turned our kayak around and went right over a sunken ship. I was very curious to see it. The sunken ship was really cool, but scary. I thought when we were looking at it our kayak would tip because we were both leaning over the same side. Once we got back to shore, we went fishing. The we headed back to our campsite and cooked our dinner over the fire. That was a fun day, but I was ready to hit the…
