Where I Want to Visit

     The United States has so many places to visit, but if I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Hawaii.  Hawaii has so many cultural experiences that would be great to encounter.  There are many things about Hawaii that make me want to visit.  One of the main reasons is the climates.  The temperature is always just right and its great to go the beach.  Which is the second reason I would want to visit, the beaches.  I love going to the beach and spending all my time on a tropical paradise with beaches all over the place would be like heaven.  It is a great place just to relax.  Another reason is because there are so many great tourist attractions, like volcanoes, scuba diving,  tropical water falls,  and even snow-skiing.  Hawaii would be a great place to visit.
     On this trip, I would do many activities.  I would go to the beach almost everyday.  I would also go visit the volcanoes and go scuba diving.  I would be a great experience.  I would have to somehow get their.  I would have to get on an airplane and fly their.  It would take a long time.  I think it would be totally worth it though.  I would also have to pack before i went on the trip.  I would have to bring all the essentials first like toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, makeup, shampoo, and conditioner.  I would also have to pack the right type of clothes.  I would pack shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, flip flops, bathing suits, and maybe even a light jacket.  I would definitely need plenty of sun screen.  All these things would help make my trip more enjoyable.
     When I go on this trip one day, I expect to have an amazing time.  I want to go with my friends so we go to the beach and hang out.  We could also go out and party.  We could go and do other things like scuba diving and site-seeing.   I know my experience there would be amazing too.  I would learn a lot because there is a lot of culture there.  I could learn how they live and what day to day activities for them are like.  Going on this trip would be a great way to be in a new environment and experience new things.  I cannot wait to go to Hawaii!

     Into the Wild is a book by Jon Krakauer that was written in 1996.  It is about Christopher McCandless and his 2 year journey from 1990-1992. He came from a wealthy family.  He gave up everything.  He stopped talking to his family, gave away his savings, and abandoned his own car.  He invented a new life for himself.  He even gave himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp.  Four months later his decomposed body was found next to a moose hunter.  This story is all about his unforgettable story and journey of how he died.  I think it will be a great book for me and any other people by age to read!
