Dover Beach In his poem‚ “Dover Beach”‚ Matthew Arnold describes the seaside view of the English Channel at night through his window. He uses the waves on the pebbled beach as a metaphor for the sadness and uncertainty that he feels when he realizes that the world is moving away from religion.

A road trip is the ultimate getaway. It’s the journey‚ not the destination‚ so don’t hurry. Absorb the scenery‚ visit unusual attractions‚ eat in roadside diners‚ knock back a few cold ones in local taverns‚ and strike up conversations with strangers. The unexpected is part of any memorable road trip. During 4 1/2 decades‚ the two of us have driven more than 250‚000 miles while touring the USA in a variety of vehicles including four VW campers. We have motored through all 50 states (we flew to Hawaii)

One of my first and most enjoyable trips would have to have been my trip to North Carolina. Our family had gone down north for a wedding‚ our uncle was having.

I have great appreciation for my grandparents and parents because they gave up everything to come to America. They did this to give their children a better life and education. I still remember the day that I left my country; it was a beautiful memory that I won’t ever forget. The plane took off at 5:00 am‚ so we had to arrive at the airport at 3:00 am. All of my family was there

My future trip to Thailand I’d like to travel to Thailand‚ a beautiful country in South East Asia known as ’The Golden Land’‚ to view beautiful landscapes‚ enjoy the tasty cuisine and experience the rich culture. My first stop will be the capital of Thailand‚ Bangkok.

There are not very many big things in my life that have changed the person I am now but I think that my first trip to Hawaii may be one of the very few events that have. I think that through this experience I have since loved exploring and traveling to new places which is a quality that I think is a big part of who I am. On the night of my birthday in December of 2014 as I finished opening my last present my mom went upstairs‚ when she came back down I noticed she had something in her hand. As she
