Here is a list of my five favorite places to go in my spare time. They are not in any specific order because I can not seem to choose one over the other. I like them all equally.

1. New York City, I put this one first because I just so happened to go there this weekend. I love New York City, where else can you walk down the street and find all sorts of crazy stuff for under twenty dollars? The beauty of Chinatown. “You want bag? Coach, Prada, Gucci Chanel?” How could anyone not love it? If you want it chances are they have it in Chinatown, if its too expensive chances are you can get them to give it to you for 5 or 10 dollars. The perfect place for Christmas shopping.

2. Ocean City, New Jersey. Despite the fact that you can’t buy any alcohol in the city, I surprisingly enjoy it there. Ocean City is one of the most relaxing vacation spots I have ever been to. Vacating there consists of five things:

• Laying on the beach all day, with mixed drinks consisting of alcohol purchased outside of the city.
• Shopping at the cutest shops you may have ever seen.
• Eating dinner, it definitely helped that I was on vacation with a man that was so concerned about dinner that the first thing he did every morning was plan out what we were having for dinner.
• Drinking games in the house we rented, keeping the people up downstairs, Oops.

• Going to bed, resting up to start the fun all over again.

3. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – I haven’t been there since senior year of High School, but from what I remember I had a great time. My favorite place to go when I was there was the Karaoke Bar, I’m not sure what it was called I just remember that it was on the back deck of one of the hotels. I had a blast singing “Barbie Girl” with my girlfriends with the sounds of the waves hitting the sand in the background. I enjoyed Myrtle Beach because while all of my friends were staying in dirty, run down, cheap motels, my friends and I were staying in a suite in the Hampton Inn. Although this experience was once in a life time I believe ifI went back there I would still have a lot of fun.

4. Boston, Massachusetts, I love the Aquarium there, I have been there so many times I can’t even count but no matter how many times I go I still get excited about it. My favorite exhibit is the panquins, they are so cute.

5. Home, no matter where I go and how much fun I have while I’m away my favorite place to travel to is back home. I realized this when I went to Plattsburgh State. Plattsburgh was never my favorite place, in fact I hated it more than anything when I was there, so when I finally got to go home that horrible two hour drive with nothing to look at for 2 hours suddenly felt like heaven. I guess there really is no place like home.
