my dream vacation
So for my dream vacation I want to go to Cozumel, Mexico. For many reasons, one being the great weather they have there year round. Going to a place that usually has a really high temperature is really easy to pack for, for the most part all you need is trunks, t-shirts, shorts, and socks. Living in Massachusetts, you never know what the weather is going to be like. Another reason I want to go to Cozumel is to see Mexican soccer, they have a monumental stadium thats very historic. Seeing it in person would be a great experience not many people can say that they went to Mexico and watch the Mexican national team play. On to more important things, this trip is not cheap you would have to pay a good amount of money. Seeing as though there is not a direct flight to Cozumel I would have to take two planes, one from Boston to Chicago then from Chicago to Cozumel. The Flight from Boston to Chicago is $376, from Chicago to Cozumel is $466. This is not cheap in any way almost having to pay a grand before even getting to Cozumel. The hotel I would stay at for 3 days would be the Park Royal Cozumel, where its $86 dollars nightly, they feed you and its rated a 9.0 on a scale of 10. On top of these costs I would would have to bring safe money just in case I get into any trouble or if something went wrong. So the total cost of my trip would be a total of $1,400, so I need to start saving up now. :0

My Dream Vacation
 |
| The Bahamas |
My dream vacation has always been to go somewhere beautiful. I think my prayers were answered just a couple weeks ago when my grandpa asked me if I wanted to go on a cruise this summer. He told me he was planning a cruise to the bahamas with his girlfriend and asked if I would like to come along with my cousin. Lets just say I booked my room that night! Come June I will be in the bahamas on an amazing cruise with my family, I could not be any more excited! To get ready for my trip I browsed upon this website about the bahamas that let me explore all the islands, find things to do, and get a good package!

Who doesn't love going on vacations? This is a time away from all the problems, stress and worries you left back home. Everyone needs time to relax and just enjoy life. I know the perfect place to do this! Why not spend a week in Jamaica, where the water is clear and everyday is a hot beautiful day.
Jamaica is a mountainous island that is known for its natural beauty. It
is also know for its philosophy “Don’t worry, be happy.” When visiting Jamaica
you will find that there is always something to do. From just walking along the
shoreline of the beach to rafting the rain forest, feed the birds of the
island, take a glass boat ride and even listen to voodoo legends. There are
also main attractions like Montego Bay, where you can climb the falls and at
night see the glow of the lagoon. One of the main things that I would like to
experience if I was to ever visit Jamaica is swim with Dolphins. I love
dolphins and it has always been my dream to be able to swim with them. These
events cost can vary but I do think that everything is worth the money. It is
an experience that you will always have for the rest of your life.
With
all this excitement and relaxation of vacations comes the stress of money and
the cost for things. If really interested there are places to get deals for
such an expensive trip. I chose to see what deals Hot Wire would be able to
provide to me for a plane and hotel. When looking at prices I found that
$343.80 round trip is the best deal from Hartford, CT to Kingston, JA. This
flight would layover in Cleveland both times. The flight is not a very long
flight. When the flight is done and ready t is time to find the best hotel to stay
at and while looking at Hot Wire I found that Beach house Villas hotel housing
is available for $58 a night. These are the best deals that I was able to find
but I am sure that even better ones can be found too. So why not take a
vacation? At the end you it will all be worth it!

My dream vacation would be going to Orocovis Peurto Rico. It
is beautify there and since I have family there I would not have to pay for a
place to stay. Orocovis is known as the mountains. While in Orocovis I would
like to go on the Zip line.
The Zip line is 600 feet off the ground they start at 800 feet long. There are eight different zip lines and the price for this day trip is between $65-$100.
I would also like to go hiking at the Dona Juana
Waterfall it is so beautiful there and It would be a great experience.
As well as going to the beach for the day and hanging out by the water. It would roughly cost between $160-$350 for a round trip.

If I could go anywhere for vacation it would have to be far
away from Connecticut or the New England area. The weather here is ridiculous
compared to other places. I would have to vacation in Florida. If I could go
vacation I would go to Key West, Florida. It is such a beautiful place and
great for summer times. If my family decided to move down there I would have no
problem with that.
To travel there from Connecticut and back, the air fare and
hotel fee for eight nights would be about $2,300.00. For those eight nights I
would never be bored. There will always be something to do while I am out
there. I could visit FORTZACHARYSTATE PARK which is found to be the best beach
in Key West. After a long day at the beach I could stop at ANGELINA'S PIZZARIA
which happens to be a very entertaining pizzeria. During the day, if I didn’t
want to go to the beach or if I wanted to visit places I could visit MALLORYSQUARE. Mallory Square is where vendors set up shop for customers and pedestrians.
Mallory Square is also a great place for a little entertainment.
There is a list of things to do in Key West. For sports, I
could go to Key West Golf Club & Key Colony Beach Golf & Tennis. For girls
there is Bikram Yoga Key West and Key West Yoga Sanctuary. For performances you
can visit Key West Burlesque Theater, Key West Burlesque Theater, The Cabaret
At La Te Da, and Red Barn Theatre. For the best professional theatre in Florida
you can visit the Waterfront Playhouse.
Key West is mostly attractive for their Museums. There are
about 19 museums in Key West. Not only can you have fun down there but you can
also learn something while you are there. This is a great place for tourist.
There are many clubs and bars, spas, sightseeing places, farms, etc. No matter
what time of the day it is you can find something to do. There are not a lot of
states that are like this. Going to Key West, Florida would be my dream
vacation.
Machu Picchu
Finding a perfect vacation is not an easy thing for me to do. I do not enjoy the traditional vacation to a big city area. I want to go somewhere far away that I will only have a chance to visit once. A place with great scenery and breathtaking views works best for me. Machu Picchu, Peru is a destination that meets all my requirements in a perfect vacation spot. It is very hard to travel there because of restrictions the Peruvian government have levied against tourism. To make best of your time here are a few tips that anyone considering traveling to Machu Picchu should know:
1.) Make sure to have plenty of reading material handy. Buy pamphlets, guidebooks, and magazines having to do with where the best places in Machu Picchu are located. Remember also to buy the most recent material because they are updated frequently.
2.) The only way to purchase tickets to visit Machu Picchu is at the IPERU Booths in Peru's airports. They can be purchased online but it is a very unreliable way. Having a back up plan is a must, plan out other places to visit if you are unable to get ahold of tickets.
Traveling to Peru can be very expensive and only those who truly want to visit should consider going. Tickets getting into Machu Picchu itself usually sell for $80.00 while an airline ticket getting to Peru will run you about $1000. If you are interested in purchasing a package deal for airline tickets and a stay at a hotel you can expect to spend around $1400. For anyone who wants to visit Peru but is not interested in seeing Machu Picchu here are some other tourist attractions:
- Arequipa City
- Chiclayo
- Iquitos
- Lake Titicaca
- Lima
- Nazca
- Paracas
- Tambopata
- Trujillo
Machu Picchu is a breathtaking place that any adventurous person should put on their bucket list. It is an almost magical place located against one of the beautiful backdrops in the world. There are many wonderful vacation spots but none can give you the same experience that Machu Picchu can. Take a chance and see something amazing by taking a trip to Peru.
Dream Vacation
For a five night stay at the Hideaway Cove Wilderness Lodge it is 1,399 dollars for a five night stay, with fishing, hunting, kayaking, and taking a float plane to see some of the most beautiful views in all of Alaska, and the world. Alaska is one of the last places on Earth that is barely touched by the modern world, the water may be ice cold but the views on the top of a mountain. The sunrise is said to be one of wonder if witnessed on the open ocean, I made my dad a promise that one day he and I will spend two weeks, just him and myself will, and that is why one day this will be our dream vacation. People I have talked to that have been there in the summer say it is a place that should be on everyone's bucket list and right now it's on the top of mine.
I have read so many reviews and they all sell Alaska as the final frontier and most beautiful land in the entire United States. It's untouched and one of the last places that is. I can't wait to spend this trip with my father.http://www.frommers.com/destinations/alaska/A33648.html
