This week we are going to be looking at Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The plot is based on going on a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is a trip to a religious place. Tell about either a funny childhood trip that you have been on or about a trip you would like to go on some day.
When I turn forty, I am going to Scotland to play The Old Course. A buddy and I have been planning this trip for a year now. I can't wait. Only 8 and 1/2 years ago. We are going to golf every day while our wives go shopping or whatever they want to do. It's going to be awesome.

I would like to go on a trip to California. THe reason is i really really get out of the east coast at all. The beaches and warm weather are enough reason to go but just getting away from home would be nice. Next year year for my business class, if we perform well in is huge competition we could make to nationals and nationals is in California. So hopefully it happens.
My sister, I, and two of my best friends and both of our families used to go to Twinsburg together for a couple of days. Twinsburg is a huge festival where tons of twins and triplets and ect. go and hang out, meet each other, and some put on a talent show. When we get out of high school, we have planned to go to Twinsburg with just the four of us, and we can't wait.
When I was younger my dad, sister and I went to Florida. I asked my dad if I could go look for shells on the beach and while I was on my walk my dad and sister went into the ocean. I could not find where our stuff was nor where my family was. An old lady took care of me, while the police and helicopters were looking for me. Lets just say my mom was not happy that my dad lost me on our first trip alone.
I would like to go to a trip to Ireland. It just seems like a very pretty place and it has a lot of coo lthings there. I plan to go there when i graduate and get a steady job to pay for and i want to go with my best friend. Me and her would have so much fun there together and it doesnt matter if we do nothing we'll still have fun.
I would really like to take a ski trip to somewhere in the West. I have always loved skiing but unfortunately the only close place to go in Perfect North which hardly counts as skiing. I would especially like to go to Lake Tahoe, but anywhere in the Colorado or Utah area would work.

Even though I didn't go far, one of the funniest "trips" I have gone on was last year to Perfect North Slopes for my first time. I went with two friends who were pretty good at skiing. I thought it looked fun and easy...not so much. Lets just say i fell a minimum of 10 times. I ran into a group of kids who were taking a skiing class (which i probably should have been in) and then literally took out a China dude at the bottom of one slope and landed on top of him. It was embarrassing but I have never laughed so hard.

I would love to go to Italy or Australia. My grandmother is from Italy an my dad was born in Venice,then they moved back to Sydney where my grandfather is originally from. My dad and Papi tell me stories all the time about living Australia, and how different it is than America. My GiGi makes the best Italian food EVER, so it would be neat to experience it on my own someday.
I would love to go to Mexico one day. Its always warm and never cool which i love that, and everyday there is something no to do and your never left bored at all. I hope one that i can go over for a cpuple of days just to say i been over there.
My family and I have planned to go to Hungary sometime. I have Hangarian roots and we all thought it would be cool to take a visit there sometime. Hopefully it will happen in a couple years but we have not figured out the details of our trip yet. I can't wait because I have never been to Europe.
i would like to take a trip to England.My family was going to go to Camberly England this summer but we decided to go to Florida instead. Hopefully i can go someday. England is different and beautiful. Going there would be an awesome experience. I would love to go on the big eye thing which is a farris-wheel that overlooks London. My buddy from England told me about that.I cant wait.
Iv been on alot of vacations but they werent really funny, but i think that it would be pretty fun to visit hawaii. Its somthing new and i bet the culture and people are fun there too.
I have always wanted to visit New Zealand. When I was younger I did a project on it and ever since I have wanted to visit. All of the pictures I've seen look unreal and I think I'd have alot of fun.
I would like to go to South Dakota in the future. I researched a national park there for history class and found it very interesting. I would like to take my family for a family vacation.
In 7th grade my extended family and I went to Panama City, Florida. The hotel we stayed in was a disgusting hotel to say the least. So, my brother and I made the best of situation and stayed in the car for two nights. My parents didn't really agree with it, but let us do it anyways being they felt as if they let us down by choosing a horrible hotel. We still had fun and got to jump on a huge trampoline in the middle of the ocean, it was an interesting trip.
When I was young, I lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil. One year my family and I went on a trip to the Amazon. We stayed in the Brazilian rainforest in a treetop hotel which we had to share with huge monkeys. If the screen doors to the cafeteria were left open, the monkeys would run in screaming and try to grab all of the food. It was a lot of fun and very adventurous. I got to look for alligators at night, fish for piranha, and hold an anaconda. It was an experience I will never forget and I hope I will be able to return someday.
One of my favorite places in the world is Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Our Scout Troop goes there every couple years to hike mountains and do other high adventure things. This coming summer I am going back hopefully as a crew leader and I will be hiking the remaining two mountains I haven't hiked there. The entire place is amazing and absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to get back.
I don't really have anywhere in particular that I would like to go. Going to Ireland would be interesting I suppose. Maybe Sweden, Finland, or Norway would be nice places to see as well. I don't really know.
When i was in seventh grade, my mom took me on a cruise in Mexico. It was such a great time because there was literally everything to do there. We got bargains after bargains in Mexico and we bought countless little items like, an onyx chess set, paper weights, Columbian coffee, and polished sea shells. Also the food was incredible, and i even tried snails at dinner one night.
My Family and I have a lake house at Indian Lake. When i was about ten we were on the boat and i was bored of just driving around so i kept on asking to go to the beach. My uncle was sick of hearing it so he through me out of the boat, while it was going.
One tip that I am looking forward to is when I graduate. I have choosen to go to Florida. On my trip it's going to be me, one of my friends, my sister, mom, and claude. I choose to go to Florida because the last time I went with my family I had a good time. When im there I get to swim with the Dolphins and Manatte's both of which are my favorite animals. In Florida I also want to go the all the Diseny Parks. I have been looking forward to this tip for a year now and i cant wait to graduate next year.
I am going on a trip to Seattle, Washington this summer. I have an uncle that lives out there and he has been asking me to come visit for a while now. I am mostly excited just to be leaving the east coast for a while. Ive lived here my whole life and i'd like to experience change. If I end up enjoying myself in Seattle then i will most likely be moving out there when i turn 18.
I would like to go to Italy and visit Rome and vneice. I think it would be cool to see all the neat things there.
I have always wanted to go to California. I love beaches and have always wondered what it would be like on the west coast. My family and I always go to the same place and I would like to go somewhere new. Hopefully it will happen someday.
i would really like to go and visit Africa, becuase it seems like a pretty neat place to stay for a few days. I would love to see new places and meeting new people.
I would like to go a beautiful snow resort in the mountains of colorado and just spend time looking at the gorgeous views of the snow covered mountains. I would like to try and ski while there and i would enjoy just being in the mountains and the feeling of looking at the amazing landscape around me.
When i was in second grade, my family and i moved to Costa Rica. We lived there for two and a half years. I had a great experience in Costa Rica. I loved the country, the culture and the people. Both my brother and my dad have had the opportunity to go back to Costa Rica and visit, but my mom and i haven't. Ever since we moved back to the united states i've wanted to go back there for a couple of weeks. I want to stay in the city where we lived, and visit my old house. After that i want to travel across the country and go to all of the different beaches.
I have never been on any really interesting trips, but I would like to someday go to the area around Turkey or The Czech Republic. There are a lot of interesting things there I would like to see and it could be a very fun trip.
My favorite that I have been on is to Canada. I went with aunts family and my family. When the parents planned the trip we didnt think it sounded to fun. We rented 2 house boats and stayed out on a lake for a straight week. It was so much fun because all we did everyday was swim and fished. We were all by ourselves which I thought I would hate but actually it was so much fun being able to be loud and to for it to be just us.
some day I would like to go to somewhere out of the country. I want to see and learn about other parts of the world like their culture and how they live. When I get out of High School I cannot wait to travel, it's something that I always have wanted to do.
A place that I think would be cool and would like to see is either Ireland, Poland and/or Germany. Also I would like to go to Canada and European countries would be fun to see :)

This past summer i went on a missions trip to the Domician Republic. That was probally the most fun i ever had a on a trip, there was a lot of interesting people that i went with. I met people from all over the united states and of course a few people that live in the DR. I plan to go there again after high school with the same group of people.
This is Drew. A trip that my family and i went on was to North Carolina. We were visiting my grandparents in the mountains. I was about 13 and we drove to Grandfather Mountain to hike to the top. At that time I was afraid of hights. My dad told me at the start of the trail to not look down. I had managed to clibe almost the whole way. We had reached the last ladder that led to the very top of the mountain when I saw a hawk gliding at eye-levle. Then, for the first time in the hike, I looked down. I got so frightened that I couldn't climb the last ladder. So I ended up hiking down with my family being the only member not to reach the top. The end.
When i was about 7, my dad took my two sisters and I to Chicago. We were waiting for my dad to get ready as usual. I was playing with my 10 year old sister... i have always been the dominant figure in our relationship. We were playing "fetch" with an invisible bone. I told her to "fetch the bone" she ran into our woods searching for the "bone". Just as she went into the woods my dad came out and yelled at us to get in the car because we were late. My dad didn't realize my sister was missing until we were on beechmont, almost on the highway. He thought i was faking when i was balling that we had left my sister. When he finally realized she was gone we turned back and went home to find my sister on the curb crying thinking that were weren't going to come back. Now that i think back on it, it was the funniest thing that has happened. It may not have been that best vacation but it was that funniest way to start out a vacation.
My favorite trip I have been on was when I was 13 and my grandparents took my cousin and I to europe. We went to Italy and France and we saw many different historical and religious sites. It was very interesting and memorable and I want to go back some day. The Italian food was the best part of the trip.

I would like up go on a trip to new York city. I have always wanted to go there ever since I was a litle kid. I have heard a lot about it and how cool and interesting the city is. I also love fashion and since new york alot of big fashion I think that I would love it. I am actually going there next summer and I cannot wait to go!
My two friends and I have been planning a trip for the summer after our senior year. We are going to take one car and everything we can carry on hour backs and just travel all over the U.S. We are going to camp and live out of the car to save money. Needless to say we hope the gas prices stay down.
This is Craig Leugers, and me and my dad and his friend went on a fishing trip to Canada. We stayed there for a week and every day we waould go on the lake for most of the day catching all sorts of fish. However I got pretty bored and kept bothering my dad about doing something else. So to keep me quiet he said that after every hour I could play my game boy for thirty minutes. Needless to say, things got very quiet.
Last summer I went to Florida and stayed in a Disney Hotel. For a week, my family and I visited Disney Land. Although Disney Land is meant for kids, I had an awesome time. Honestly, the hotel was the best part. It was a five star resort and the nicest hotel I have ever been to.
Some day soon I would really like to go deep sea fishing somewhere.I love to fish but I have never been fishing in the ocean. I usually just fish for largemouth bass and I am perfectly content with catching those. But I want to have the thrill of catching a huge fish and fighting it as I reel it in.
Someday i would love to go to Austrailia. It would be so pretty and the beaches would be amazing. I really want to hear the locals talk and i love to be tan.
Some day I want to go to Europe and visit my cousins and other relatives. Some of my relatives have made the trip to the states to see my family and I. I would like to see how the culture is different from ours and try all the different kinds of food.
One year we were staying in our house in the outer banks in north Carolina and my little cousin was there. He is really really annoying and spoiled because he is an only child and gets whatever he wants. He had some money his mom gave him and was waving it in front of my face telling me to take it from him. So I proceed to punch him in the face and then take his wallet. I walk out of the room happy, and of course he is crying. My family comes in and asks what's wrong and I just say I did what he asked of me. He cries and I get in trouble. Later I punch him again and then go to bed happy from a good days work of beating my obnoxious cousin silly.
Someday in the future i would love to travel to australia. I used to live in Europe and i have been to a lot of different places. Australia is one of the places that i haven't been but i would like to someday. Australia and maybe Brazil because i have never been to SOuth AMerica.
I went on a trip to Notre Dame my freshman year. It was through a Notre Dame fan cluband we took a nice charter bus up there. Notre Dame is the coolest place ive ever seen, or been to. It also is the farthest west ive been. So anywhere west would be fine

My two best friends that are twins and my twin and I have gone to Twinsburg, Ohio the past couple of years together. Twinsburg is a place where they hold a festival for twins, triplets, and etc. Thousands of brothers and sisters meet there one time a year and have contests, talent shows, and games. We have a great time each year we have gone and hope to continue to keep going.
I would love to go to a Island in the middle of the ocean. I would love to get a raft and float out on the sea until I found land. I would bring a tent and supplies. Hopefully I could find my way back home or get help. Either way I think I would have the time of my life.
In 2007, my mom and grandmother took me and my friend Michael on a Spring Break trip. We went to Hilton Head, South Carolina. The drive was long but well worth it when we got to the beach. The beaches were clean and the sand was soft. The weather was kind of chilly, and it rained one day. We went to some cool restaurants. My favorite was The Salty Dog. All in all, it has been my favorite trip so far.
I havent been on alot of trips but i am extremely excited for my upcoming trip to NYC. I only have two weeks left then i will be going to New York for the National Orchestra cup. I have been to New York but not for awhile so it should be very fun to go back and see everything again.
I would really like to go to Hawaii. I want to leave the east coast and it sounds like fun. The island being so isolated and the beaches so nice looking i want t go just to see it. My uncle went there and it was one of the best trips he said he ever took and he has also been to Europe so I will take his judgement.
My family and I go down to Little Gasparilla Island at least twice a year. The island is located off the west coast of Florida, about half way down the pan handle. I really like it because there aren't any roads or cars. Instead there are sand paths and golfcarts. There aren't many people on the beaches.
My favorite trip was last spring break when my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. The people who live there are so different than here in the US and they are all so nice and incredibly friendly. I also really like their accents and the music they would play throughout the streets.
I go on a trip every year to Ocean City, New Jersey with my whole family. I love going there because I get to see my grandma and all my aunts and uncles from my moms side of the family that live there. My grandma lives two blocks from the beach so we go everyday.At night we go to the boardwalk and do lots of things, I love going there and can not wait for this summer.
I would really enjoy going on a trip to Yorkshire Moors, National Park. And after high school, I plan to spend a year in Buffalo with my friend Kelsey. But I guess a cool trip I went on was taking a train to Washington DC, I was little and terrified of going over the tiny bridges on this huge train and it would always freak me out, that I almost didn’t go.
I would like to go on a trip to the Grand Canyon. I have always wanted to go there since I was a kid. My grandparents and aunt and uncle went and they all said that everyone has to visit it at least once in their life. I have done a couple projects on it and I would really have a good time there.
I do not really get to travel a lot but I enjoy going on small trips camping and fishing and doing other outdoor activities. Someday I would like to visit another country just to see different places and meet different kinds of people. I would also like to fly on an airplane someday because I have not done that either.
I would like to take a trip to Colorado. My cousin lives up there and i think it would be a lot of fun. I would really like to snowboard on their more challenging slopes, and see how it is up there. I might take a college visit to Colorado University over the summer, so that should be nice.
When i was about 10 years old my whole family went to panama island in Florida. One day we decided to go out onto a boat to swim with the dolphins. My brother jumped in and while he was in the ocean a jellyfish was floating 1 foot away. My mom shrieked and jumped in after my brother. He did not get stung but i will always remember the shriek.
One place i would like to go to is Italy. I have already been once, but because we have family who still live there i would like to visit again. If we go again I would hope to spend a majority of the time with them. Hopefully we will go back in the next couple of years.
I would like to go on a trip all across the U.S. There are tons of cool places to see and stuff to do. My dad took a trip to the west coast going through the south and came back through the north. I would like to to the same a visit as many places as I could along the way.

Over the summer, My family and I went to Italy and France. I loved Italy. There we went to Florence and Venice and in France we went to Avignon and Paris. Italy was amazing. I loved the people there and just the feel of life there. France, seeing as we went to Paris, was too comercial-y for me. I wanted to see what a foreign country was really like and I saw that in Italy. I can't wait to go back.
I would really like to go on a trip to the shelf off of the coast of Mexico. Supposedly this scuba diving spot is one of the best in the world. I have only been scuba diving around in my pool at my old house but it seems like a great time. And of course the weather there is amazing. Although, supposedly there is some sort of violence going on there right now so this would have to be some sort of future trip.
One place i would love to go is Sydney Austraila. The main reason i want to go is to dive in the great barrier reef. I hear its a great place to go in the summer time. It would be cool to have a hotel right on the beach with a room facing the ocean. Also knowing you could just walk outside anytime and you would be on the beach.
Someday I would like to take a trip to Dubai. I saw pictures on the internet about all the new things that they are building. It would be really cool to stay in their underwater hotel and have to go by boat to get to the city.
I go to Gulf Shores Alabama every year with my family. We always rent the same house in a very nice neighborhood with no high rise buildings in sight. I spend the whole week out at the beach and driving around the town. I look forward to this vacation every year.
I would like to take a trip to Arizona. I know that it is probably not a popular destination for vacations, but I would like to see the desert landscape. I have been many places on vacations with my family but the south west is a place that I still have to visit.
I would like to go to Italy someday. My sister went a few years ago on the Latin trip and she loved it. All of her pictures were really pretty and I think it would be a lot of fun.
