Have you ever went to Maui for a vacation? When I was around seven years old my family and I went to Maui for a vacation. When I found out that we were going on vacation I was so excited, I was super excited because it will be my first trip out of state besides Vegas and Texas. This was our first actual family trip. I’ve always wanted to go to some what of an island. When we were packing up to leave in a couple of days, I was never this excited. That night I couldn’t go to sleep at all. When we were ready to leave my House I couldn’t stop talking about the beaches and the hotel we were going to be in. When we were arriving at the airport I just wanted to bolt to the airplane. When were going into the plane and heard all the engines and other things I couldn’t get my smile off my face. When we were taking off I was jumping up and down in excitement. It was going to be the longest flight on an airplane that I’ve have ever been on. I wanted to eat so much junk food and watch the tv shows on Netflix. When we had an around two hours remaining I took a tiny nap and told my dad, “wake me up when we have around one hour left.” When I woke up I could see the island far away from the airplane. It was so pretty. I could tell the water was warm because of the nice light blue waves crashing along the outside of the island. When we landed my mind was blown. I could smell the fresh beaches and all the fish. Once we signed into our hotel I first saw a pond full of fish with flamingos next to it. Once we got up to our room I looked out to the nice beach and saw a couple water slides where we were staying. We were so tired so we all went to go get diner and than go to sleep. The next few days were amazing we went to go snorkel around the clear blue ocean. The last couple days we were staying their we went to the water park and I didn’t know that the pool was really deep. So when I jumped in I was super scared. I was scared for my life and I didn’t want to look down. I felt like I was being held down into the water. Luckily I was an ok swimmer so I slowly went back to where my mom was. After a couple of great days goes by. It was our last day at Maui and we wanted to explore. Me and my family have loved this amazing trip, so our last day we went to the beach and swam with turtles. The turtles were huge. My dad and I thought they were rocks at first but then it started moving. It was my first time every seeing a sea turtle. When we got back to the hotel, I was super sad that we had to leave. I’m so glad we took a great trip to Maui, it was one of the best experiences of my life.
