As a university student, I see the next few years of my life as being very busy, stressful and unpredictable. My dream vacation is not simply a trip to Las Vegas to unwind and spend all my money on a few nights I may or may not remember. Needless to say, a trip to Las Vegas during my ‘university years’ would not be such a bad thing. However, Las Vegas or any other 'party' destination is not my dream vacation.

| Island Seclusion |
I dream of sandy beaches, clear blue skies, and the smell of the salty ocean wind while I relax on a peaceful, secluded beach with my husband at my side. My dream vacation will either be my honeymoon or the next trip that my husband and I will go on. Therefore, depending upon when I get married (which seeing as though I am still single, is not going to be happening anytime soon) will determine when I take this trip. I do expect that this trip will not happen until after I graduate and have a steady paying job. I estimate that around ten to twelve years from now I will experience my dream vacation.
Unlike most tourists, I prefer self-exploration. I am not one to wait in a line for a trip through a museum or to sit on a crowded beach with only two feet between beach towels. I am the kind of tourist that enjoys observing the culture and trying new things while on vacation. I grew up boating in Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. It seems only fitting that my tourist vacation shapes that aspect of my life. On my dream vacation to the British Virgin Islands (BVI), I do not want to stay at the fanciest five star resorts and be forced to conform to a particular type of tourist experience that the islands cater to (for instance, exploring the islands while being limited by the distance from the hotel). Instead, I plan to rent a motor yacht and explore the inviting BVI by cruising through the Caribbean Sea.

| Ocean tranquility |
On this trip, I plan to relax, bond with my husband and discover all the activities the BVI have to offer. In the hustle and bustle of life, I want to be able to go somewhere and escape. I want to be whomever I want to be, and do whatever I want to do. With a new setting, I can learn more myself and my relationship. The main motivation for going on this trip is to make new memories together in a relax and tranquil environment. The memories that we make on this trip will shape the rest of our lives. Imagine a memory of jumping off the boat into the cool topaz blue water to escape the heat and once tired of swimming, absorbing the sun on the vacant sandy white beach. These are the memories that last a lifetime.
