Over the past few months, I have been working diligently at my part time job. After saving every last penny that I earned, I now have a total of $3,000. What better way to spend my summer earnings than to treat myself to an extravagant vacation? To make my extremely difficult decision of where to go easier, I have narrowed down my choice to only two destinations: Brussels, Belgium, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Although I have simplified my selection to only two vacations, the decision is still quite difficult; after comparing my transportation costs, the price of my hotel and other essential accommodations, average meal prices, and the exciting excursions I have planned, my decision should come much easier. Every child’s dream, including mine, is to be surrounded by chocolate for a week; this dream of mine has lured me to consider Brussels, Belgium, as a lavish vacation spot. Before I can begin my journey there, I have decided to organize a detailed plan of my exhilarating vacation. First, my family generously offered to drive me to the Memphis International Airport in Tennessee, where I will board my first flight to Belgium on June first. Aside from my flight’s estimated time to be fifteen and a half hours long, I was able to find a good deal of $1,114.00 on tickets and stay within my budget (“IEagle | Cheap Flight Ticket”). After arriving at the Brussels National Airport, I will take the free airport shuttle to my hotel. Because of the unique views and the many
Many things will affect people’s decision to travel, the destinations they choose and for how long they stay. Different destinations are affected by different factors, here we will explore these factors and the destinations they effect.
• Elastic, vacation time is most certainly a luxury and although at times needed for mental sanity one can live their entire life without one and still be fine. As with the local gas station comparison-shopping is king, which becomes the substitute for one hotel versus another.
When the word “vacation” is mentioned, everyone instantly thinks of a great time. There are no classes, no work, no chores, and most importantly, no worries. However, this isn’t always the case, especially with my family. We decided to set out on an adventure to Virginia Beach this past April. The events that took place were benign but, the trip itself was a little bit of a struggle due to the chain of unpredictable events.
My mom and dad have always told me to do what makes me happy, and worry less about the cost. Ever since I was ten years old, my family has decided to take a vacation every year right before school starts. We have been to Disney, on two Caribbean cruises, and Mexico twice. I realize now that it was one of the smartest decisions my parents could have made for us kids. Growing up and being able to see places such as Aruba, Florida, and Lake Houses in Wisconsin is something that I will always be grateful for; visiting these places has taught me that there is so much more that comes with vacationing besides having
Going on vacation is never cheap by any means, but it is totally worth it to get away. The amount of money you spend on a house/condo, food, groceries, accessories, gas, or flying tickets, is crazy. If a family would sit down and average the amount of money they spend in a week they are on vacation, they would probably be scared. I know that when my family goes on family vacations, we probably spend close to that. It is totally worth the money to get away and enjoy a relaxing week with no

The reason I choose this job shadow, was some family friends work there and it has always interested me. This is like a teaching job, but they focus on difficult classes that many parents can’t teach at home. HERO is a program that is for homeschooled children. So when I job shadowed it was near the end of their year getting grades put in and reviewing for tests. I think what was the most surprising is how similar to highschool it was. I have always gone to public school so I wasn't sure how different being homeschooled was, but in this program it is very similar. I think that if someday I ever decided to homeschool my children that this would definitely be an option for me, the way that they really get to interact with the children they teach
March is a special time in every college student’s life. For two short weeks every spring we are given a break from all of our school-related responsibilities with the hope of tapping into our parent’s bank accounts for the trip of a lifetime before we are financially cut-off and sent into the “real world” following college graduation in a few short years. A spring break trip must be planned far in advance in order to get the best deals on flights, resorts, hotels, etc. before everything books up. Within the next few weeks to a month, I will be negotiating with my parents on where I will travel to for spring break, hoping for a 5-day Carnival cruise. I know my parents may not agree to this, but I plan on using some of the strategies and tactics

The chocolate rises 27 vertical feet from the floor to ceiling mesmerizing onlookers as it flows
While vacation may seem like a week away from home, traveling has so many positive aspects. Whether one travels for a few days, or for a year, it can open the eyes of many people and change their views. While on the road, people often discover who they really are and create relationships with people they will never forget. During this adventure, people learn new languages, and connect with the world in a new way. Traveling is beneficial to both a persons mental and physical health; it makes the mind more creative, and it's a great way to exercise .
“A penny saved is a penny earned.” “A job worth doing is worth doing right.” We apply both of these sayings to the working world all of the time. Why not apply them to our vacationing world as well? Like most people, I look forward to a vacation, but planning it can become overwhelming if you’re not prepared. Planning a vacation should be fun and exciting. Vacationing is not always a priority to many families due to economic distress, but as little as a few hundred dollars you can plan a weekend getaway that’s inexpensive but a lot of fun!
The first step in planning your vacation is choosing the destination. Make sure that it is somewhere that you and/or your companion are going to enjoy. If you are planning to go out of the country, don’t forget that you will
Almost everyone has their own idea of a dream vacation. It's the perfect place to get away from the reality of every day life and the stress that goes along with it, and the choices and ideas of the “perfect vacation” are as varied as the people who dream about them. Some fantasize about lazing on a warm, sunny beach with soft ocean breezes and a cold exotic drink at their side. Some dream of forests and wildlife, cool running streams, and fresh mountain air that is thick with the scent of pine. There are those whose ideas of the perfect dream vacation involves the thrill of stock car racing mixed with the roar of the crowd, the smell of fuel and hot asphalt that's
"Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing." says Phil Jackson, a former American professional basketball player. People always whine about how their first job experience was terrible and there’s only one reason which is not getting enough amount of money for their work. I think people need to think that job is not always about money as I discovered from my first job.
