...Best Vacation I Always Have Last year I had the best summer of my life, because I got to go on the vacation of my dreams again. We rented a bright blue Jeep, and headed to the beach in Destin, Florida for a week of extremely relaxing rolling waves, and very fine white sandy beaches. The first night there I was sitting by the blazing fire having a fruity adult beverage, and the sweet smell of the air reminded me of my childhood vacations to the Port Aransas beach in Texas with my parents over summer break from elementary school. I will never forget the outstanding memories I created with my parents on my childhood vacations. I could see the constant waves in the ocean from across the crowded beach, and I would always be so excited to step on the soft, white, sandy beach. As a young child, the first thing I would do is change into my one piece lacy swimsuit and run out to the beach. My cousins and I would spend the day splashing in the salty water, until we were too tired to keep our heads above the water. Then we would sit under our yellow umbrella on the soft damp sand and eat a bite of our favorite foods. It felt so good to have the bright sun blazing down on me. Our favorite thing to do was build the biggest sand castles on the beach. My cousins and I would have contests to see who could draw the best artwork in the sand. The grains of sand glistened in the sun like glitter on our newest handmade T-shirts. I will never forget how the gigantic boat would...

...Brianna Fernandez Professor Glaser Communication Studies 1A February 29, 2016 Paradise Gone Wrong Specific Purpose: to entertain my audience with unusual and unfortunate events on my non typical Hawaiian vacation. Central Idea: Hawaii is supposed to be all about paradise and a getaway from a stressful life, not cause you more stress, which it did to me. Introduction I. When you picture Hawaii, you think of a peaceful paradise and endless rounds of Hawaiian mimosas while your feet are in the soft sand, am I right? But when I picture Hawaii, I think of something totally different. II. Every time I found out my family and I are going to Hawaii, I’m not as excited. I fear of going to the beautiful islands, which is quite ironic to say. III. But this is just from a bad, first experience, and my first trip to ended up being a horrible one. I hope this doesn’t change anyone’s decisions about not visiting the amazing islands soon. Body I. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii as a little kid. A. I have family there so that is why we go every year, or try to at least. B. In the summer 2008, I was on my first trip to the islands. We landed in Oahu. II. The first activity we wanted to do was a no-brainer; we wanted to go to the beach. A. My cousin Malik and my Auntie Beth (my mom’s sister), took us to Bellows Beach. * Bellows Beach is “known” to be the best beach in Oahu B. We got fruit smoothies, got buried in the soft sand and played in the...

...The Land Of Smiles The mere thought of a tropical vacation in paradise brings peace, calm and relaxation to mind where you will experience warm sandy beaches, the breeze filled with the fragrance of exotic flowers, as well as pampering fit for a king. I think you should take a trip to Thailand with the whole family because of the priceless experience that would far exceed that of a more expensive Caribbean or European vacation. You will enjoy exotic food that will satisfy your taste buds. The beaches are second to none where you will experience vibrant and brilliant colors that fill the sea as well as the sky. You will be surrounded by beautiful contagious smiles that seem to adorn everyone you meet. In my opinion, the first reason you should consider a vacation in Thailand, known as the “Land of Smiles”, is for the wonderful people where you can experience a culture much different than what we are used to. The people are so friendly that you can hold an entire conversation with someone while neither of you speak each other’s language. Using gestures or impromptu sign language, like a game of charades, seems to get each other’s points across. Yet not a single spoken word is understood by the other person. You can get a sense of culture in the big cities where accommodations can be expensive, but the level of service, luxurious and gorgeous hotels are something you would never imagine in a near-third world country and worth every penny, but to really experience the culture...

...Veronica Caruso Cozumel: A Paradise Worthy of a Visit I have been fortunate to recently travel to faraway places like India, Argentina, England, Germany and Mexico due to my husband’s job. One of the places that caught my attention was the island of Cozumel. Cozumel, part of Mexico, is located on the eastern coast of the Yucatan’s Peninsula in the Caribbean Sea between Playa del Carmen and Cuba. The island, contrasting the endless blue of the Caribbean Sea along the coast with the emerald green of the tropical jungle, is the most beautiful and warmhearted place to visit in Mexico. When I think about a vacation, I look for an all-inclusive resort with outstanding customer service, a place with a variety of activities to explore, and a downtown area for shopping with fine and casual dining; the island of Cozumel offers all of these. The Palace Hotel is an all-inclusive resort with outstanding customer service. The staff at the hotel is friendly and offers exceptional service at all times. From the moment I got off the plane until I arrived to the hotel, everything was done for me. The taxi driver, who greeted me at the airport, knew my name and my hotel destination. At the hotel, I was welcomed by the receptionist with a fresh rose and a wet, warm towel so I could refresh myself. Wherever I went and whatever I asked for, I was greeted with a smile and friendly attitude. The hotel accommodations far exceeded anything I ever imagined...

...Paradise I stepped off the hot, crowded plane and into the bright, dazzling sun light. The humid hit my face as if I were getting into a sauna; while the thick, moist air filled my lungs, I could feel the heat of the black pavement comfortably warming and basking my legs like a heater. My family and I finally made it to Hawaii. I was not always a fan of family vacations; somehow, something always seemed to go wrong. However, this vacation, nothing could ruin my fun. I took a deep breath and smelled a sweet, flower scent of intoxicating aromas. As my family and I entered the doors leading to the terminal, three girls in grass skirts approached us; they placed beautifully colored leis around our necks. I buried my nose into the damp, cold petals. I breathed in the exhilarating small of the pink and yellow flowers. We pushed our way through the crowded terminal, which was full of anxious and restless tourists waiting to get a glimpse of paradise. My Dad managed to get our luggage through the mobs of people, and we proceeded outside where my Aunt Rose was waiting to pick us up. My Aunt Rose was known for her crazy style of clothing and her big feathered hair. And to my surprise, off in the distance, a I little petite woman wearing a short pink dress stood across the street waving her arms. My aunt nearly tackled me to the ground as she hugged me, screaming in my ear and whip-lashing me from side to side. She always smelled of cigarettes and her perfume reminded me of a cheap brothel...

Conclusion: Kristina Yanakieva EN 102 Prof. 09/10/2013 Buy it! It will make you feel good. Nowadays, it is amazing how the public is so easily manipulated to buy different kinds of products. Various marketing strategies are being successfully used to talk consumers into purchasing a great number of products, which they think they need, when they actually do not. A typical example is buying bottled water instead of simply consuming tap or fountain water. It is true that great majority of the population is indeed in favor of consuming bottled water, because as Zak Moore, the author of “Defying the Nalgene.” states “if...

...Decisions in Paradise One The purpose of this paper will be to analyze preliminary considerations for the development of a new Wyndham Resort on the South Pacific island of Kava. Development of a new resort on Kava will further establish “Wyndham Worldwide as one of the world's largest hospitality companies across six continents” (Wyndham, para. 2, 2011). The paper will examine potential issues that could hinder the establishment of Wyndham’s presence in Kava. Wyndham’s mission is to “be the global leader in travel accommodations welcoming our guests to iconic brands and vacation destinations through our signature Count on Me! service” (Wyndham, para. 1, 2011). Decision-making and analysis pertaining to Wyndham’s presence in Kava must be sensitive in context to internal and external stakeholders needs. Wyndham is a very profitable company. On August 11, 2011, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation announced $500 Million increase in their Share Repurchase Program (Wyndham, 2011). Kava is one of many strands of islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Neighboring destinations such as Fiji, Cook Islands, Tonga, Samoa, and Vanuatu attract many tourists in search of island paradise. Kava’s population consist of an ethnic mix of native South Pacific tribes, Spanish, French, Asian, African, and an increasing number of Americans. Local inhabitants speak various languages including French, English, Spanish, and indigenous dialect. The downside of Kava’s populations is over 50% of the residents...

...not only a wonderful place for diving, but an ideal beachfront location. For ten years’ operations, Coral Divers’ annual revenues are as high as $554,000. However, situations get worse reflected directly by continually declining revenues. Critical issues, key decisions, opportunities and challenges The biggest issue for Coral Divers is the lack of specialized features to distinguish itself from the competition. From Greywell’s perspective, Coral Divers has not provided any different services in aspect of diving or resort. Accordingly, Greywell has proposed three main choices to improve the current dilemma. As families are a growing market segment, engaging in family diving vacations would be a feasible solution, with the aid of Rascals in Parades; a travel company specialized in family diving vacations. Another potential strategy is to develop adventure diving. Although associated with threats that other resorts in the Bahamas also offer adventure-oriented dives, Coral Divers Resort enjoys natural underwater attractions such as Shark Wall and Shark Buoy, which are popular and close to Coral Divers. The final option is to leave New Province and relocate elsewhere. But he is still wondering whether it is worth to give up his company lasted for ten years . Situation analysis External analysis Broad environment Coral Divers Resort is located in the southwest side of the New Providence Island, where tourism is well known, especially in Nassau.

...Decisions in Paradise, Part 1 Shauny MGT/350 April 01, 2012 Instructor Decisions in Paradise, Part 1 Nik recently received his college degree and successfully landed a job with Hewlett-Packard (HP), a multinational information technology Corporation. The organization markets to governments, consumers, businesses, and schools worldwide. Hewlett-Packard strategy is to bring the depth, breadth, advantages, competitiveness, and innovation of the company portfolio to consumers in every country (Hewlett-Packard Development Company (2012). Approximately two-thirds of HP’s revenue is retrieved from outside of the United States (Hewlett-Packard Development Company (2012). Nik has been assigned to assess the potential benefits of conducting business in Kava, a small island country that resides in the South Pacific. After Nik landed on the island of Kava, he realized that his perception of the island was not what he had perceived it to be. However, Nik was sent to Kava to complete a mission; not to enjoy a vacation. The geographic location of Kava presented an issue that could pose as a reoccurring threat. Based on the location of the island, there is no way Kava can avoid the threats of floods, tsunamis, typhoons, and cyclones. Although Kava is an island, fires have occurred in the community. Kava’s community also suffers from avian flu and HIV/AIDS. The threats on the island may pose danger to the locals as well as the entire island. Damages caused by tsunami’s and typhoon’s...

...How I spent my school vacation How I spent my school vacation??? First of all, I have to say I hate the word spent. It is like I wasted my time, like I used up my vacation. Everyone LOVES their summer vacation. Who doesn’t? Because after a longggg time of coming to school every day, doing homework and facing terrible tests, we all need a break. After a long time of studying for my end of term semester exams, I was in desperate need of a good, long break. So when our holidays came around, I was so excited and relived. Holidays generally mean, waking up late, playing with friends and relatives, going places, eating lots of food and watching a lot of cartoons on TV. That was the way it was for me… but in addition to that we went a on a trip too. My father had his vacation that same month and our whole family was over-joyed. We decided to spend the month in Kandy at one of our relatives’ house. It was the most AWESOME Vacation we ever had. Their house was soooo beautiful and their garden, like a paradise. The house was small, but that was another reason why it was fun, because I had to share rooms with the son at that house who was the same age as me. We were so mischievous and were up to all kinds of fun. At nights after our parents had told us to go to sleep, we would secretly play video games or fighting games, or pillow fights, or act like we are camping until the late hours. His name was Mustafa. Anyways together Mustafa and I went on bike rides and helped his mother in...
