Personal Narrative-Year-Round Vacation
Have you ever taken a vacation and fallen in love with the place? You actually find yourself so at home that you decide there and then that you are going to pull up stakes and relocate so that you can live your vacation year round. Whoa, hold on there. Vacationing is one thing, but living that vacation year round – you better do some online, and offline, research first.

Whenever we travel and go on vacation, we leave our everyday stresses behind. After all, that’s the reason for the vacation in the first place. We actually become a different person when we can fully relax and enjoy ourselves. When we are at that vacation spot we tend to feel that it is the place that is defragmenting us. In reality, the place has very little to do with our

While that was in progress, I researched businesses I wanted to contact. Once the research and resumes were ready, I wrote and sent letters of introduction and my resume to the different places where I thought I might like to work. So, before I packed up to return to my vacation paradise, I already had an itinerary of interviews lined up.

Returning to Hawaii to Live as a Native, Not as One Who Is on Vacation

For this return visit I decided to rent a car and efficiency for two weeks. That way I could live as a native to be sure I would be making the right decision. As I said, a vacation is quite different from day to day living. Also, making a huge relocation move from New York to Hawaii, I had to be sure I was being wise. There would be no moving back if I hated it.

I must say that those two weeks I spent interviewing, meeting some wonderfully interesting people and, yes, taking some time to vacation, turned out to be two of the best weeks of my life. Through several of my interviews I was introduced to other places where I also interviewed. One of the local radio stations on Oahu liked my track of employment so much that they began working on a new position at the station for

    It was 2009 and I had been in sixth grade for a couple of months. I was on the phone with one of my friends from school when my mom called through my door for me to come out into the living room. I ignored her and kept talking for a few minutes when she called me out again. I rolled my eyes and told my friend I would call her right back. I walked into the living room and it seemed odd to me that both my sisters and dad were all out there too. I watched my mom take a deep breath with my dad by her side. As she began to speak her voice shook and gloss covered her eyes. “The doctors found a lump in my last mammogram.” she said. “It came back as cancer. I’m going to have to get treatment but I’m going to be okay.” No one else said a word, we all…

    This is the first time I was in American and also I lived alone. Due to that, lacking of caring from parents is obvious. Fortunately, I met and stayed in your family at Christmas Break.

    Things finally started looking up for Hawaii; on August 21, 1959 it was announced that Hawaii was now a part of the United States of America.

    The feel of 80 degree temperature, the sound of splashing water, and a super long car ride? Everything but the car ride was awesome! On my spring break this year we took a very long and boring car trip down to Arizona. It was a 18+ hour car trip just going there! I mostly slept and read the way there. First, we visited Arizona state and Arizona University. Then, we stayed at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house. But, what I mostly liked about my spring break was in Arizona there was 80-90 degree temperatures!…

    My great great great grandfather migrated to Hawaii during the colonial period (1900’s) due to cheap labor. He was recruited as a sugar cane farmer. He believed that the island offered better opportunities, a paradise of happiness and prosperity.

    California has been my home for many years and I don’t plan on leaving it anytime soon. Ever since I was little in Pakistan I would always hear stories from relatives who’d lived there on how diverse and beautiful it was. I love nature and greenery, I have relatives who live in New York and when I was there it was really cold and snowing heavily and that’s when I made up my mind that I could never live in a place like this. If I did want to migrate to another part of the United States it would probably be Hawaii, which would be after I’m done with college. There is so much Hawaii has to offer from it’s beautiful weather to its warm beaches. Anyone that’s an adventure seeker or spectator will love Hawaii and its iconic scenery. There many unique…

    I returned back from vacation this week and it was nice to see all the children’s smiling faces. The parent’s express how they missed me as well as their children. This makes me love my job even more. This week there was a two year old child who had a seizure at the center; this was scary for the children, staff, as well I. 911 had to be called out to the center.
