Descriptive Essay Perfect Vacation The perfect vacation spot is Hawaii during the Christmas season at the Waikiki Hilton Hotel and Resort. Located on the main island of Hawaii, the exquisite monument sits right on the beach surrounded by beautiful golden colored sand. Miles of sandy beach can be seen coiling around the island as gigantic waves come crashing down on to shore. The most breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean is the back-drop for this paradise. Although, tucked away on this Hawaiian island, this luxurious resort is a guaranteed stop for Santa Claus on his busiest day of the year. As you enter the lobby, there is a huge fountain with a trickling waterfall to accent its beauty. Along the crystal clear stream a variety of exotic birds sit perched in their cages. In the center of this magnificent pool of water, sits a ten foot palm tree decorated like a Christmas tree. The leaves are sprinkled with shimmery plastic snowflakes and a variety of colorful bulbs for accent. The trunk is wound with brilliant, flashing lights to the very top giving off a vibrant reflection off of the skylight window as Christmas music echoes through this exquisite building. The front desk of the hotel sets off a warm inviting atmosphere. Several bushy, green leaves made to resemble evergreen trim are lined from top to bottom around the counter. Icicle lights are loosely incorporated into it. Sweet smelling tropical flowers made to imitate holly, are strategically placed together with the greenery and lights to make a lasting impression on anyone. Behind the counter a large salt water aquarium is built into the wall. A miniature paradise of odd shaped fish swims sluggishly back and forth for your viewing pleasure. Tightly hanging around the glass are Christmas stockings for every employee working at the hotel. Their names boldly displayed across the top of each one. The

    Good Hotel branded as a boutique hotel, one which “provides personalized accommodations and services and facilities”, (Pearce, 2012, p. 10-6) has established itself in the $77-billion market. With demonstrated increased occupancy and revenue from November 2008 through March 2010, Good Hotel has a positive track record to continue its current concept.

    Immediately upon walking through the elegant double doors, the sweet aroma of butter envelopes the air around me causing me to rapidly salivate. The smell of nacho cheese accompanies the butter fragrance and I quickly begin to picture the many tasty treats behind the square concession area that is located in front of me. Candy galore is perfectly aligned behind the glass case further enticing my taste buds. A perfect temperature keeps me comfortable and makes me wish my home's temperature could be this perfect. One well groomed attendant generously overfills a striped bag with freshly popped popcorn and delicately hands it to a young boy standing next to his mother. Colorful posters line the walls around me, showing a glimpse into what lies behind the doors located down the hallways. The softness of the bench I am sitting on causes me to wonder if I am perched upon a cloud. Intermittent bursts of laughter can be heard coming from down the long hallways as well as in the lobby creating an atmosphere of endless fun. Smiling faces of children, teenagers, and adults quickly pass by me and I can hear the attendant quickly tear their perforated tickets as he happily says, "To the left, third door on your right."…

    Political and economic factors were primarily responsible for bringing about western imperialism in Africa and Asia. While social factors were important, money and power were primarily at the root. The Berlin Conference was a meeting of major European powers with the express purpose of divvying up the African continent so that they, the Europeans, could make a major profit and gain new territories. This then opened new markets for trade for European manufacturers, who were already experiencing the problem of making more than Europeans could consume; new markets were needed. The addition of territory provided not only those new markets but raw materials for which to fuel growth in those new markets. It was a heavy mix of politics and economics that drove Imperial growth.…
