Where I would like to go in the United States



If I could go anywhere in the United States, I would go to Hawaii. Hawaii would be and amazing place for me to go because I love the beach. I would get there by airplane. If I went there I would have a few expectations. One expectations I would have would be that the people there would be nice and friendly. While I were there, I would go to the beach everyday.

In order for me to get to Hawaii, I would have to travel there. The way I would want to get there would be by airplane. There would also be a few things that I would have to pack. I would have to pack my clothes. I would also have to pack my laptop so I can have a computer for Facebook. I would also pack a tooth brush, tooth paste, mouth wash, and my retainers. A few more things that I would pack is shampoo, soap, deodorant, and a towel for drying off. I would also pack a few things for entertainment. One thing I would pack, is my laptop so I can get on Facebook and watch You Tube. I would also have to bring my ipod for music and games. I would also bring a few DVDs and a DVDs player so I  can watch movies on the way there and back. The final things I would bring is my skim board because I can't go to the beach and not skim board.

While I were at Hawaii, I would do a few things. The first thing that I would do is go to the beach. I would probally go to the beach the first few days because I like the beach so much. After I would go to the beach, I would go and see one of the volcano's. The main volcano I would want to see is the Mauna Loa volcano. One reason that I would want to see it is because it is the biggest volcano on Earth. Another thing that I would want to do is a zip line in Hawaii. The zip line is called the Flyin Hawaiian. It is the biggest zip line in Hawaii. It reaches speads over fifty miles and hour and it also reaches over 250ft high in some parts. Another interesting fact about the zip line is that it is over 2 miles long! The final thing that I would do in Hawaii is that I would go snorkeling. The place that I would go snorkeling would be at a beach called  Molokini. Molokini is said to also have one of the clearest waters in all of Hawaii. These are the reasons that I would want to go to Hawaii and what I think makes Hawaii great.

The book into the Wild is about an Alaskan homeless man who roams the wilderness. For many years he is on the road and he meets and affects the lives of many people. He tries to return to society and is unable and he on his final days, was weakened by hunger and the cold. He ends up spending 100 days in the wild. He stays their of being suspected of causing damage of a local cabin owners' land. He eventually dies and his body is found by Alaskan hunters. This sounds like this could be a good book.
