...Pacific Beach Pacific Beach in beautiful San Diego California, is filled with nothing but surf, sun, entertainment, and good times. The water is always nice and the surf is usually always up; so there is always a chance at some point during the day to catch some good waves. Since Pacific Beach is located in sunny Southern California, chances are you will be able to work on that tan when laying on this beautiful beach. Around this entire beach area, there are many establishments to stop by to grab a delicious bite to eat or even consume a few refreshing adult beverages. You can even cruise the boardwalk, check out the gift shops, and all of the outdoor equipment rentals. Pacific Beach is the little strip of paradise that has everything you need in walking distance. Pacific Beach is the beach in San Diego is the beach that has all the trash, drunks, bums, and high police activity. The water is usually freezing cold, filled with mounds of kelp, and if you are not careful an ignorant surfer can take your head off with his board. It is nearly impossible to sunbathe and relax on the shore. There are too many loud, obnoxious and usually intoxicated college kids running around and causing a scene. Since you can no longer sip on your own beer on the beach, you can get one at the overpriced establishments surrounding the beach. One can always get lost on the boardwalk as well, the crowds of people and all of the pan handling bums can be overwhelming just to look at some...

...her everything. Her mum said “See that is because you don’t wash." That night Tina had a bath so the next morning everyone played with her in school. That was because she washed and got clean and smelled nice. My Trip to the Beach A long time ago I went to the beach. Before we left we loaded all our beach gear into the car. Continuing down the road my sister and two brothers and I sang songs to keep from falling into the depths of boredom. Deciding where to stop for dinner was a real challenge. Everyone wanted to eat at a different restaurant. Finally Dad stopped at Cracker Barrel. I chose green beans, potatoes, and steak for my dinner. We all drank hot cocoa and whipped cream for dessert. Initially we had hoped to reach our destination, Pensacola, before midnight, but it seemed impossible. Just after we crossed the Georgia/Florida border my dad stopped at a hotel. Keeping quiet not to wake the others staying at the hotel, we tiptoed out at 6:00 A.M. Later the next morning, we arrived at the house in Pensacola. My mom's friend and her family were staying with us. Never is there a dull moment when we are together. Of course we were very tired from our trip, so we rested all day. Plenty of fun in the sun was in store for us the next day. Ready to get out on the beach I had forgotten...

...All of my life I never imagine that I would have an opportunity to go on a trip that I would go to such an amazing place that I would remember for ever. Going on fishing trips and going to the beach was truly something special that I could experience with my family.

...I got a taxi to the beach. It was so nice that day. I met some people and they were actually in the same hotel. They were nice. So I decided to take them to Subway with me. They had never been! I was so surprised. So we walked to the subway, and this time I got a flatbread pizza. With pepperoni, olives, jalapenos, and cheese. The next day I went to the hotel pool for a little while, then got subway and took it to the beach with me. The birds ate some of my sandwich, so I was mad. I went back to Subway. I was going to buy another sandwich. The worker said “Why are you buying another sandwich?” So I told her why and she said, “ Oh, this happens all the time. Why don’t you come get a free meal? Whatever you want.” I was so thankful. I said thank you and headed back to the beach. After I chilled and went back to the...

...During the week of Spring Break, I had a very successful workout. I think so far this is the week where I was able to work on my behavior change in a more effective manner. My schedule changed and I had more time for myself to complete tasks and relax. My goal for the week was to maintain a solid routine and instead of exercise three time a week or so my goal was to exercise every day of the week. I started off on a sunny Monday morning. I was feeling tired and unmotivated but I knew that this was my opportunity to relax and relieve the stress of school and work. When I woke up I was feeling tired and decided to be on my procrastinating attitude saying “eh, I’ll do it later”. However when I woke up I checked my phone and my friend had already...

...The Chaotic Streets to the Calm Beach “Everything has beauty, but not everyone can see.” (Confucious) The famous Orange Beach found in Gulf Shores, Alabama is very beautiful as well as the busy streets of New Orleans, Louisiana. Many tourists go to New Orleans because it is one of the most interesting places. Many “snowbirds” go to Gulf Shores to escape from the winter in their home towns. New Orleans and Gulf Shores are similar, but are also very different in many ways. Many tourists go to Gulf Shores and New Orleans every year. In 2012 research showed that 9.01 million visitors visited New Orleans, and that was the highest visitor numbers in nearly ten years.

...Dubai: a playground for the rich and famous? Sex and the City… one of the most famous and fabulous series and movies ever since. Ordinary women can not resist the luxury, glamour, fashion, sex and gossip the four SATC girls are involved in. The first movie was a great success, the second even more. `One week in Abu Dhabi`, as Samantha said, turned out to be more glamorous as one can think of. Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha visited Abu Dhabi, one of the seven Emirates. In this movie everything is soaked in luxury and charm. The Emirates are almost presented like an illusion. But is it actually an illusion? Are the Arabic Emirates to good to be true? Too expensive? A dream to the regular crowd? Dubai, also one of the seven Emirates, is considered to be the most touristic one. According to (bronnen), Dubai has a lot to offer. Architecture, tropical beaches, shopping and culture are just a few examples. Dubai is booming, every year millions of people from all over the world visit this state, 30.000 of which are Dutch (www.ontdekdubai.nl). It is very unlikely that all these people are engaged to a “Sheik” like Samantha was. It seems that the Emirates, and Dubai in particular, are not that inaccessible to the regular crowd as we first thought, are they? To answer this question, the Dutch tourist will be point of reference. Getting there and around Dutch people are very keen on summer holidays. The weather in the Netherlands can be relatively depressing during winter...

...The sneetches, who lived on the beaches, were a group of sentient animals minor resembling birds. There were two groups of sneetches, the Plain-Bellied variety, and the Star-Bellied Variety. Both varieties of sneetch are a pale, pollen yellow, with large abdominal regions, long, fur-covered arms and legs, and a long neck with two small rings of hair on them.

...The beach is my favorite vacation spot. It’s not just a beach, it is Virginia Beach. It makes memories with my family every year. The first time I went there was about three years ago. It was the best experience ever from staying in a beautiful waterfront hotel to going out to the best seafood places in town to walking on the beach. My first time there it was beautiful. The only beach I ever went to was Seaside Heights New Jersey which is nice but in Virginia you can see through the water and you see dolphins peeking there head and body out of the water. It was exactly like picture you see on the internet and your senses goes everywhere from the scent of the salty water, the sweet scent of ice cream from the ice cream cart going down the boardwalk, hearing music and people chatting, the sand getting stuck in your flip flops and the sight of a beautiful blue ocean with waves crashing on the sands....

...My Favorite Memory ENG 101/102 January 30, 2013 My Favorite Memory 1 I have to say that my favorite memory has to be going on our family vacation to the Bahamas. We went on a five day cruise. There were eighteen of us in our group. Including my Daughters’ dad, co-mom & her little brother and sister. We drove down to Port Jax in Jacksonville, Florida to catch the boat. My mom, son Chance, my daughter Kayla and I went down early, so we could enjoy our drive. The trip down was great. Spending time with my family is always nice. We did some sight-seeing on the way down, we sang songs together like we were a quartet and tons of other things. After we arrived in Jacksonville, we checked into our hotel. We were there a few hours before everyone else arrived. When they all got settled in, all eighteen of us met up for dinner. This was a great time to celebrate our big family vacation. The group included nine adults and nine children. Ranging in age from almost two to sixteen. The next day we loaded all of our things up and headed to Port Jax. There we so many people and long lines. Customs was a little stressful, but we all made it through save and sound. After taking pictures, we finally got to board the ship. It was amazing!

...fantastic summer vacation! My family and I spent a lot of time at the beach. We also went on a trip to Disney World. We ended our summer by traveling to southern California for a soccer tournament. It was nice to be able to spend so much time with my family this summer. In the beginning of the summer, I went to the beach with my kids at least once a week. We were so lucky because every time we were at the beach I saw the dolphins splashing playfully in the surf. We would usually arrive around 12:00, when the sand was as hot as coals in a barbecue. Sometimes we would stay until 7:00 in the evening. At the end of the day I loved to watch the flaming red ball creep slowly down into the shimmering ocean. Going to the beach is my favorite thing to do in the summer. Towards the middle of my summer vacation, my whole family and I flew to Florida to visit Disney World. We had never been before, and I could not believe how big and beautiful the Disney property was. It was like being in the center of a rainbow. Everywhere you looked, there was loads of color. The weather was hot and humid. We were soaked with sweat the entire time, but we were able to refresh ourselves in the beach-like pool. We stayed at a hotel called The Beach Club, and the pool there actually had sand at the bottom of it. It was fun to travel all the way to Florida. As my vacation was coming to an end, we made a trip to Huntington Beach for my daughter’s soccer tournament. It was the first one we had ...

...Cannon Beach A warm sunny day. The sea tickling your feet as they sink in the sand. You hear the faint sound of the seagulls and puffins in the distance. Kids laughing, dogs barking, and the faint roar of the Pacific. As the tide lowers, you get up slowly. Taking in a deep breath of ocean air. Walking out to the famous Haystack Rock. You peer out seeing the brave people who have walked out what seems like miles out into the ocean with the water at there knees. You peer at the rock which is covered with colourful starfish and barnacle. The warm water at your ankles, the very wet sand massaging your feet as they slowly sink. The history of how this all came to be. The uniqueness of this place. The many things you can do here. Cannon Beach, being one of the best vacation spots. It all started 17 million years ago when the volcanoes were erupting. Some of the largest lava flows run over the Columbian Plateau, to the Oregon Coast. Once it reaches the ocean it starts to cool, becoming basalt rock. When the sea levels went down the rock formation all around oregon’s coast appeared.
