The long awaited-dream-vacation was no fun at all, much to my disappointment. in fact, it was down-right horrible! We decided to aim for as much adventure as possible and went to Fiji. Fiji is a collection of hundreds of islands in the Pacific Ocean, known for their renown beauty. My family and I had planned to relax on the beaches and enjoy the warm weather everyday. We also hoped to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the ocean while we were there. The water is usually warm, soothing and inviting. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and dashed our dreams. It rained and poured freezing rain all day, and everyday. A strong wind lashed at everything in its path, and created a soggy scene. With nothing to do, we were miserable the whole time we were in Fiji. My family and I were more that relieved to go back home.
