Orientation

Last summer, my family and I went to a fun vocation to Paradise Island, a beautiful place in the ocean. We were excited to go there and have a great time together.

Series of Events

When we arrived at Paradise Island, it was so sunny and nice. We saw palm tree and the water was blue and clear. Then we went snorkeling and saw lots of colorful fish and coral. After that, we played on the sandy beaches and drank coconut water. Next, we also explored the island's forest. Finally, the day becomes a night and we sat around a fire on the beach and listened to music, it was so much fun

Re-orientation / conclusion

We had so much fun on Paradise Island! Even though we had to leave, we were happy because we had lots of special memories. Our vocation there was the best.
