THEME PARK HEAVEN IN ORLANDO

Me and my mom went to Orlando, Florida. We stayed at the Delta Resort. There is 6 hot tubs and two swimming pools. We stayed there for 4 days and 5 nights. It was so much fun. We went to Disneyland, Islands of Adventures and Universal Studios. Those places are so much fun to go to.

DANCING AWAY IN COSTA RICA

My best vacation was when I went to Costa Rica. . .the people there were really nice, caring, and funny. Also, every night fro 8:00-10:00 there were awesome comedy shows. Basically, what people did was sing to a song, that has dancing to it. I also made great friends there that will last a life time.

EVERYTHING FOR KIDS IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC

I'm 5 years old and love Myrtle Beach. They have an awesome Kids' Club at Sands Resort with games, lazy river, indoor & outdoor pools, pizza parlor, ice cream station and a water park. They have Teen Night for my 13-year-old sister and you get a cool Kids' Club t-shirt and other gifts just for being a kid.

SAN FRANCISCO TROLLEY TIME

My best vacation is when I went to San Fransisco,CA! It was so much fun riding in the cable cars! The malls and shops there were cool too. Fisherman's Warf has good fish. Chinatown is fun and looks like a town in China! Also in San Fransisco is the Golden Gate Bridge(you should take a sweater if you walk on it. It gets a little chilly) Another thing in San Fransisco is a place called the Metropolitan. It is really fun. There is an arcade in it, stores in it, play places in it, and lots more. Since I liked San Fransisco so much I am going again in August! San Fransisco has something for the whole family!

WHITE CHRISTMAS IN NY

My favorite vacation was when my family and I went to New York. We stayed at a really big hotel. It had a gym and a pool. In our room there were three rooms a kitchen a living room and a bedroom with three beds. We went to the toy store which had three floors!! We went to the park too. Since we went around Christmas we saw a tree all lit up. There were statues of angels all around they were lit up too. There were so many people my dad lifted me on his shoulders. We also went to see a play "Beauty and the Beast". It was so neat there was real fire and everything. I really liked it since I was 7. At the hotel we would swim in the pool but I was to little to go in the gym and hot tub. But I still had a lot of fun.

RESORT RECOMMENDATION

One of our best vacations was during Spring break at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin. We had a great time. The resort was beautiful. It had a great indoor waterpark. It is a must see. Over 13 indoor waterslides. Go check it out. You won't be disappointed.

AROUND THE WORLD!

I went to Paris, France. The plane ride was 7 hours long but it was worth it. We stayed in a very fancy hotel and went to the Eifel Tower (we climbed it), the Arc du Triomphe (we climbed it), Notre Dame, Monet's house in Giverny, Versailles and a very fancy restaurant for dinner. We went shoping along the Champs Elysees and this summer I am taking a trip to Greece. We are going to spend a couple of days in Athens and Olympia and then go see the Greek Islands, I can't wait! Vacations out of the country are better than vacations traveling within the US I think.

SEA SHELLS & SAND CASTLES

My best vacation ever was going to the beach in Florida. My whole family stayed at Indian Rocks Beach at a fun cottage. It was like a house on the water with a pool and everything. I can't wait to go back to The Blue Heron Cottage to find lots of sea shells, and make sand castles.

SUNNY PARADISE

July 2000 vacation to St. Thomas, USVI - with crystal clear, blue water and soft, white beaches, I knew I was in paradise. My Mom taught me to snorkle so our daylight hours were in the sun and water. We lounged in a hammock on the beach and ate at some great places. We toured the Island and did a little shopping. Best of all was the snorkling. I am, of course, spoiled now - where else can I find such beautiful clear waters and white sand?

It was also only a few miles away from Disney World. My family of 13 people went incuding me. We flew down to Florida. This was the GREATEST Vacation ever. Thank you AAA..

IT'S ALL ABOUT DISNEY

My family went to Disneyland. I have been there three times since then. I am going to live near Disneyland because that is where my sister lives and I am going to college there. I recommend you go there if you haven't. I haven't got lost there yet but its bound to happen. I get to go there about once every six or seven years, five if I'm lucky. So go any time you get the chance.

MAGICAL WEEK AT DISNEY

The very best vacation that I had, was when I was four years and went to Disney World for a whole week. We stayed at the Dixie Landings Resort. It was a cool place to go. They had a food court with food even kids would like. I enjoyed Magic Kingdom too. My brother is now four and he would like to go. I entered the contest this month and hope I win the trip to Disney World for my family.

CASINO WHIRLWIND TOUR

For my best vacaition I went to Las Vegas, Nevada. It was so much fun. I stayed at a hotel called Circus Circus. But I wasnt sapousto go to the casino so I stayed in a kids place on top of the casino area.I had $200.00 to spend there.It was like a real circus with actual shows!I also went to other casinos like for example the MGM Grand,Ceasars Palace, Excalibur, TreasureIsland, Mandalay Bay and last but not least Lexus which was a giant pyramid. At night Las Vegas looks beautiful.I went in an airplane and from there I could see The Grand Canyon from Arizona.Well that's all. I hope you liked it. I think that my vacaition to Las Vegas was the best vacation ever.

SMORES IN OREGON

We went to Lake Quinalt Lodge and had a great time. We had Smores one night and Sundaes one afternoon. This was free and a part of their programs. They had a swimming pool and we were the only ones in there most of the time.

LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA !!!

This is in Carlsbad, CA, north of San Diego. I love legos and this is a theme park built out of Legos and all of the rides are modeled after legos. It is a great place to go!! There is only one park like this in the United States and two in Europe. The best part were the mini-cities built entirely out of lego building blocks. They had Washington DC, New York CIty, New Orleans, San Franscico, and more. We also went to The San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Disneyland in Anaheim and to Tijuana, Mexico.

TEXAS HEAT!

Me and my mama went to Texas to visit her niece who is my cousin. The other side of my mother's family went with us and we had a good time. We went out to eat at an all-you-can-eat pizza place and played free games. I've never been on a vacation before and my mother promised that one day we would go on one. We had so much fun outside in the garage because up their it was so hot you could cook hotdogs in a tray outside in that heat. Texas was a pretty place and I hope some day that me and my mother and the whole family can take this trip again one day.

EXPERIENCING A DIFFERENT NATION

My best vacation was a trip that I and my family took to Japan. Just getting there was an experience, we flew in a 747-400 airplane, a very large plane for a long period of time; approximately 16 hours. We were entertained with a few movies and I recall at least three meals. We visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Tokyo is a very modern city with lots of great culture and interesting sites. My best time was visiting the shopping center called "Ginza". On our way to Kyoto by Bullet train, we saw Mt. Fugi, it was an awesome site. Kyoto was a very hot place - the temperatures reached the 90s. It had lots of temples and it had lots of traditional Japanese architecture. Osaka, an older city, was much different because it had a mixture of traditional and modern styles. Our hotel was a thirty story building in the middle of a traditional neighborhood and above a six story great department store called "Takashimaya" which was located over the modern subway station. The most interesting place was the "Kansai" International Airport it is built on a man-made island in the Pacific accessible by the airport subway which took us there directly from our hotel. I can't wait to go back hopefully as an exchange student. I hope any kid out there may have the same chance I had to go and visit a great place in our little planet.

LESSONS LEARNED IN PARIS

Christmas 1999, my family (all 5) went to Paris, France. The first day we went to Notre Dame Cathedral and I got lost from my mom & dad. When I couldn't find them, I walked six blocks by myself back to the hotel. I know I was really lucky to get there by myself and won't try that ever again. The next day, at the Louvre, I wouldn't go down the escalator alone!

CABIN-BY-THE-LAKE FEVER!

Well, my family and I go to a small resort in Merrifield Minnestoa. It's called Sun Set Bay. It's RIGHT by a lake (ten feet away from the small cabin we stay in.) My sister and I love the water. We have a speed boat we take up there with us. My sister likes to tube and I love to water ski & tube. We stay up there for a week and sometimes we get my parents to let us stay for an extra day. It is $500.00 for a week. The fishing is great! The deepest part of the lake is 39.8 ft deep (We have a water/fish reader thing on our boat). You can see the bottom of the lake - it's that CLEAN!!! My dad and uncle like to get up at 4:00 in the morning and go fishing. Well, I've said enough, but IT WAS GREAT!

WILD RIDES AT KINGS DOMINION

My best vacation was when I went to Kings Dominion with my family and one of my friends. We had so much fun. I even got to ride The Volcano. It is the best ride at Kings Dominion. We spent the whole day there and belive me when I say that when it was time to go my friend and I were not ready to go. I also rode the Anaconda, it really shook us up. Oh, I forgot I also rode the Outer Limits - it is one of those rides that definitely gives you a headache. This was my best vacation ever.

SPECIAL TIMES AT DISNEYWORLD

This past spring, my mom and dad took me to Disney World in Orlando Florida and it was great!! My mom was getting ready to have my baby sister soon and they took me somewhere special to show me how special I am. I loved it! I know it was the best vacation ever! We stayed in one of the Fort Wilderness cabins and took the shuttles everywhere. We went to all the parks and even went to some places two and three times.
