Journal #4 - Perfect Vacation

Purpose: To practice your newly-honed descriptive skills by imagining the perfect vacation.

Directions: 

Note: The journals are intended to be a way for you to explore ideas that you might later wish to refine in a paper or a discussion.  I will not censor these journals in any way, nor will I grade them on content or grammar (though, like the seminars, they must be coherent and display some measure of critical thinking about the question at hand). You do not have to answer all the questions, nor do you have to confine yourself to these questions. Write about whatever is on your mind. 

Ideal Vacation.  Now that you've done all the work, congratulate yourself with a perfect vacation. If time, money and responsibility to others in your life were no object, where would you go and what would you do? Treat yourself with this imaginary vacation: include all the sights, sounds, textures, tastes and smells.  Let your imagination run wild; you are on vacation, after all.
