Tortola

Tortola is a part of the British Virgin Island and it is a United Kingdom territory. I will be taking a vacation there with my best friend and her family in July. Tortola is an island that is warm all year round. 

The place we will be staying is called the Limin House. It is a luxury four bedroom and four bathroom Caribbean villa. The Limin House has its own pool and is only a couple feet away from the luxurious beach. When staying here, food is prepared and cooked for you and you can see St. Thomas Island from the distance. The Limin House has air conditioning, cable TV, internet access, house keeping, and more. To stay at the Limin House it costs 500$ per night. 

Some things we plan on doing on our vacation include zip-lining at the Limin House, go shopping, and visit different bars and restaurants. We also want to snorkel, spend time on the beach, and go sailing.

Tortola is a very secluded island but is a high rated island with much to do. It will be nice to get away from Ohio and experience new things in a warm climate with cultural differences. I recommend Tortola, or anywhere in the Virgin Islands for anyone looking for a fun filled and warm vacation.

Italy

Sometime in my life I would like to take a vacation to Italy. Some of the cities I want to see on my vacation are Rome, Venice, and Florence. Italy seems like it is a beautiful country and many people vacation to Italy. It has some beautiful cities and sites to see.

The first city I would visit is Rome. One thing I would like to see in Rome is the Vatican. I think that would be a very interesting thing to see and experience. I would love to see what the Vatican is actually like. A second thing I would visit is St. Peters prison. St. Peters prison is very mysterious and has a lot of history and I would love to experience a trip there. Finally, one of the last things I would visit is the Coliseum. I would take many pictures in front of the Coliseum.

The second city I would visit on my trip to Italy is Venice. Venice is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in Italy and I would love to visit Venice. Something that I've always wanted to do if I do visit Venice is travel around in a gondola. A second thing I would enjoy is taking a tour of the Grand Canal. Finally, I would love to try all the Italian food in Venice and everywhere else.

A third city I would visit is Florence. Something i would definetly do in Florence is take a river tour on a boat. I think that would be beautiful and great for pictures. A second thing I would do is take a hot air balloon ride of Tuscany. A hot air balloon would be an amazing way to see sights from a birds eye view. Another thing I would love to do when I am older is wine tasting. I feel like it would be very interesting.

Italy is a beautiful and popular country. I would love to vacation there sometime in my life and take my family and friends with me. It would be a wonderful experience.

Hawaii

Hawaii is an extremely popular place for vacations. In the future when i take a vacation here I would like too go too Honolulu/Oahu and Maui.

Honolulu is warm all year round with tourists who visit all year also. Any hotel in Honolulu is luxurious but the one I would love to stay in is the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. Something I would love about this hotel is that it offers a shopping mall in it so you wouldn't have too go far to spend some money. Another great thing about this hotel is it offers amazing suites with ocean views. This hotel also offers five star restaurants surrounding it so you can experience all different types of foods on the vacation. There are two pools included in this hotel and since it is right by the beach there is easy access for a nice beach day.





Some things to do in Honolulu include swimming with dolphins, visiting volcanoes, hiking, go to concerts, attend a luau, and many more things. I'd love to do all of these things on my vacation.

The second place I would visit on my trip to Hawaii is Maui.  Some things I would do in Maui include zip lining, swimming with dolphins, go on a helicopter tour, visit Pearl Harbor, and try scuba diving. 

Any hotel in Maui is luxurious just like in Honolulu. The hotel I would love to stay at would be Andaz Muai at Wailea. This is a five star hotel with amazing features. This hotel has a 24 hour market and an amazing restaurant called Morimoto Maui. The interesting thing about this restaurant is that it is known for Iron Chef, so I would love to try the food there. Some other luxuries in this hotel include a fitness center, 4 outdoor infinity pools with a separate adult pool and a poolside bar, and Mokapu Beach.

Brazil

Brazil is an extremely beautiful country in South America. No matter which city you choose to visit, you will have a great experience. I have first hand experience on taking vacations to Brazil because all of my relatives live there and my parents were born there. I usually go to Sao Paulo, Brazil every two or three years. Some things that I find extremely entertaining to do when i go to Sao Paulo are too shop! The malls in this city are extremely large with many different things to buy than the American malls offer. Although these things are amazing, they are often very expensive which is upsetting.

 Something else my cousins and I enjoy doing that i recommend to anyone visiting Sao Paulo is to go out to the clubs. Clubs in this city are very different from clubs in America. In American clubs most people want to get intoxicated and party all night but Brazilian clubs are different. In these clubs you do indeed go out in the late hours of the night, but when you get to these parties at the clubs there is food, interesting music, many people to socialize with, and many things to do.

Another place that is interesting in Brazil is a city called Riviera De Sao Lourenco. My uncle has a condo in this beach city so we always go and  spend a couple days on the beach. Brazilian beaches are also different than American beaches, and in my opinion, they are much more fun! Brazilian beaches have small stands all down the beach of people selling coconut drinks, corn on the cob, jewelry, body products,clothes, and almost anything else you can think of. Something interesting about sitting outside on the beach all day is that you don't realize how much the sun is affecting you. The clouds usually cover the sun so it's not as obvious when you are getting sunburn, so you have to be careful.

I look forward to the next time I take a trip to Brazil because I enjoy seeing my family and having a great time. Brazil is a fantastic place to visit for anyone interested in different cultures and having a great time.








Tulum

Tulum is a resort in Mexico that many people take a vacation to every year. Tulum is sunny and warm all year round and is in the Mayan Riviera.

Tulum has many affordable deals offer. One of the most popular places to stay is the Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa. This resort is very popular among vacationers and I would definently be interested in staying there if I were to take a trip to Tulum. Some of the luxuries that drew me too the Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa are the high class rooms, the gourmet food, and the poolside service they offer.

Some things I would love to experience on my vacation to Tulum are taking a trip to the Tulum ruins, the eco parks, the Sian Ka'an, and swimming with the dolphins.

A tip to Tulum, Mexico is something that is on my bucket list. I'm attracted to the warm weather, interesting culture, and all the fun things that I want to experience.

Turks and Caicos



Turks and Caicos Islands is a British Territory. This is a wonderful vacation place that many people visit. Turks and Caicos is located near the Bahamas. The weather there is extremely warm year round which I find very pleasing. Since I love beach vacations so much, Turks and Caicos is one of the places I plan on visiting when I'm older and can travel the world.
Turks and Caicos offers many activities that attract me to vacation here one day. They offer luxury spas, scuba diving which i would love to try, a private horseback beach ride, swimming with dolphins, and nightly beach parties.
Although Carribean vacations can be pricey, Turks and Caicos offers deals. If I were too purchase tickets now, I could save up to 65% off. This shows that you can save a lot of money because these luxury vacations always offer deals.

Barcelona


Barcelona is the capital of a community called Catalonia, in Spain. Many people are attracted to vacationing to Barcelona for many reasons. One day I will definitely go there to experience many new things. One of the main things that attract me to Barcelona is soccer. Since I am a big soccer fan, I'd love to see FC Barcelona play live one day.

Some things I would love to experience is some of the tours Barcelona offers. They have biking and walking tours where I could see the history of the wonderful place and meet new people.
A third thing I would have to visit is the Picasso museum.

Anything I chose to do in Barcelona in the future would be extremely interesting to me because I love to travel and learn about different cultures.
