Las Vegas Sands

I've been thinking about the beach, waters and the sands for weeks now realizing I haven't even shared our Canyon Cove getaway yet. It is something that is worth sharing for and I can't believe I almost forget to blog about it. So without further adieu, here is the story of our first long drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip. January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all…

Enjoyable Most probably, one of the things that top your travel bucket list is taking a desert safari. As many travelers say, it is the most fun activity that you can do in the desert. If you are going to a destination that is known for having great sand dunes, then it is something that you cannot miss. However, keep in mind that such kind of trip is that all comfortable and convenient. Here are some tips that you can follow to make a desert safari more pleasant and enjoyable: • Wear clothes…

Growing up on Long Island I believe, is a gift. There's no other place like it, the beaches, the farms and the city it has it all. To many Long Island is just a name or a place on the map, but to me this lovable fish-shaped island is home. In a small town called North Babylon, I grew up, made my closest friends and memories I'll have with me forever. I established the person I am today because of that town and the environment I grew up in. I've been in the same house all my life and I couldn't…

(SAN). Postcard Beaches San Diego is home to more than 30 beautiful beaches, including the popular Pacific Beach, the family-friendly Moonlight Beach, and the iconic Mission Beach, featuring the Giant Dipper roller coaster. For water sports, visit La Jolla Shores, a gathering place for surfing, scuba diving and kayaking.…

Time is constant, it will always be moving forward. Making the hour and a half long drive to the beach does not seem so bad now but as a kid it seemed like an everlasting eternity in the backseat. At least, that’s the way I remember my families trips to the beach. I especially loved our Pismo camping trips because we would always leave on Fridays to beat the traffic and I would never have to go to school that day. I was nine years old turning ten this weekend and I was extremely excited. As me…

stretched in an endless horizon; it was the most spectacular sight, while the first tear drop allowed the rest to create a stream. With tears rushing down my face, I could not do anything but sit across the crawling waves drenching the sand. I reached out for the golden sand and sifted a handful of small worthless stones through the gaps of each finger. The droplets of salty water stung my wounds in my bloody barefoot, as the waves slithered its way up. The pain was numbed by the exhaustion,…

Setting: Soil symbolizes the setting in the novel “Witness” because like the soil is the base of a plant, the setting is the foundation of where and when the story takes place. The specific setting in the book is in “Vermont” and the time period is “1924” (Hesse 1). This provides the reader with a very general and basic idea but does not fully explain the setting. To enhance this, a social setting also exists and it is the main conflict, discrimination developed by the Ku Klux Klan entering…

Generations of Reliability With his fishing rod in tow, an elderly gentleman waves goodbye to his wife and embarks in his Subaru. In another scene, a young man drives along the highway in the early morning with a surfboard attached to his roof. Their stories diverge when they both arrive at the beach to share their love of surfing and the dependability of their Subarus. The commercial for the new Subaru Crosstrek utilizes an effective combination of compare and contrast, pathos, and ethos…

Florida, is the most magnificent place that anyone could ever hope to go. Although it is not often thought of as a primary vacation spot, I believe this marvelous beach has helped to develop my identity into who I am today. The mesmerizing silvery sand; the dreamy sea its own master; the angelic pink palace on the beach; all small components that take part in the alluring beauty of the beach in St. Petersburg. However, simply calling this beach beautiful would be a disservice. Not only is the…

Often times we talk to individuals about their favorite vacation spot or where the place they feel the most at rest is; the response we get most often is the ocean. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening. This is the case for our friend Lettie Hempstock’s…
