ESSAY ON HOW I SPENT MY LAST SUMMER VACATION – ESSAY 5 (600 
WORDS)
Introduction
Summer is the most awaited time in any student’s academic year. Despite the scorching sun 
and blazing heat, these months for me have always brought a peculiar type of calmness to 
my soul that oozes freedom from monotony and dullness. As it is time for vacation, it is the 
time to explore, wander, plan and much more. Summer vacations are always fun but my 
summer holidays were especially memorable. What made it special was that it was my first 
advent on a foreign land or I might say “lands”.
My First Foreign Trip
The year 2017 was my last academic session in school. So, before going to the college a 
complete family gateway to exotic lands was the gift I got from my family. I could not have 
asked for more. Our travel plan was a perfect mixture of fairy Disneyworld and glamorous 
Hong Kong and then to the multi ethnic country island of Malaysia.
On the very next day when my summer vacations began, I found myself on the terminal 2 of 
Chhatrapati Shivaji airport, Mumbai, looking for my flight boarding pass and posting stories 
about it on my social media accounts. My parents, siblings and cousins surrounded me. 
There was excitement on every one’s face. Being a full extended family vacation with all my 
cousins, aunts and uncles it seemed super fun from the time we set out in cabs to the airport. 
It was not my first time being amidst the clouds but it was my first international flight giving 
a magnificent view of night lights of the complete city and looking at that I knew that this 
trip was going to be a one of a kind experience for me.
Landing at Hong Kong, I was taken aback by just the mere sight of their airport. I think they 
indeed lived to the fact that the “first impression is the last impression”. I was definitely 
amazed beyond imagination but somewhere I knew this was just the beginning. The first day 
at this beautiful place mainly consisted of exploring the streets of this breathtaking city 
which was rich in fashion, food, tech and everything that screamed modern and at the same 
time archaic in their way of life.

The next place we visited was what all of us had dreamed of visiting since long. IT was the 
mesmerizing Disneyland. The very first thing that caught my attention was not the people 
around dressed in Disney characters or the marvellous expanse of the space and rides and 
shops but the castle at the far end – The Disney Castle. It was just spectacular. The very 
charm and enchantment of it knocked me out of breath. The fireworks at night after a 
complete parade show especially makes you wonder if you really had crossed a line and 
entered the fantasy world. It had been a lot more than I would have imagined even in my 
make-believe.
The next was a travelling day as we moved to our next destination Malaysia. The City 
gateway was complete opposite of where we came. This city did not have many sky scrapers 
but the beautifully spread horizontal city was very rich in culture and diversity. The 
exquisiteness of mosques, museums and heritage sites perfectly blend with the modern 
lifestyle and modern layout of city. The hill top parts of the country like Genting Highlands 
could be definitely called heaven on earth. The beaches here offered a perfect place to relax 
and rejuvenate. I am glad we choose this as our last destination during this trip.
Conclusion
This has been one of the best holidays I have ever gone on. I saw so many beautiful places, 
had great experiences and spent a lot of time with my loving family. My last summer 
vacation was indeed the best so far.
