My Dream Christmas Vacation

 

The Christmas vacation of my dreams would be bringing my mom, dad, brothers and sisters to Honolulu on a Carnival Cruise Line ship while taking my break from working in San Francisco as an electronic engineer which would provide me with the money to pay for the trip and the condo I bought in Honolulu where we would stay for a couple of weeks.

We would spend Christmas Eve on board the ship watching pop stars such as Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, and Bette Midler sing lovely Christmas songs enjoyed by everyone. We would follow this with a lobster dinner and a good glass of $500 champaign. We would be in Seventh Heaven!

On Christmas day, after arriving in Honolulu, we would immediately go to the Aloha Bowl where we'd watch the 49'ers kick the heck out of the Dallas Cowboys. After the game we'd be worn out so we'd get in my Ford Explorer and go to my condo to open presents and have a pepperoni pizza dinner.

Since my parents would probably want to go home on the day after New Year's I would make New Year's day a blast for all of us. I would rent a bunch of wave runners and jet skis and we would all spend the day riding around in the beautiful warm ocean until sunset. The next day I'd fly back to Marshall with my family and check out the square dances with them. I'd be sure to play a little city league basketball too. Then I would head back to my home in San Francisco, California.
