Final Travel Essay Proposal

For my final travel essay, I think I'm going to write about my trip to Turks and Caicos this past spring break. The characters will be my best friend, Nichole, and her family, mom, dad, sister, Leah, and brother, Zach, as well as my dad, mom, and I. Specifically, I may add to my story I wrote and work shopped in class about sitting around the table for dinner on the patio. If I don't write about that, I may talk about snorkeling, going along a similar theme as Bicycle Love, where if I wasn't with other people I wouldn't have gone as deep and far out to sea. I would highlight the specific moment when I got to the edge of the coral reef on one side and I just looked ahead and saw complete emptiness and vastness of the ocean. It was terrifying and I was reminded of the beauty and expanse of the ocean. I'll never forget this moment.
