Dream Vacation



Ever wish you were on vacation? In today’s world of being connected 24/7 to work and to people, vacation is something this that is viewed as a luxury. This luxury could mean different thing to different people. Some people prefer to have fun filled excitement on their vacations, while others prefer a relaxing time with nature. But because this society is always connected, vacation is meant to be time away from everyday life.

One place in the world I would love to go is to the Azores Islands. These islands are somewhat of a secret as they are not highly publicized and they are in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. These islands are owned by Portugal. There are 9 islands that make up this area. How I even heard about this place was from a documentary that was on NOVA. The beautiful natural landscape and the idea that it was not completely industrialized made it a place I want to visit.

The coldest it gets in winter is approximately 10 C and the hottest is approximately 25 C in the summer. The ocean is always warm by the islands, which makes it great for swimming. The small amount of tourism has been focused on golfing. The culture seems quite fascinating. The islands have natural hot springs located everywhere and has over 30 waterfalls.

This seems like the perfect place to go to get away from the attachment of being connected. Check out this site about Azores, to see this beautiful and hidden place in the Atlantic Ocean http://www.azores.com/.
