Quickly writing thoughts and leaving spaces between the lines for revision. The third step to the process is revising. This is where you make any additions and/ or deletions to your draft. You may even want to elaborate your ideas and reread the draft. The fourth step to the process is editing. this is when you correct any grammatical errors, mechanical errors, and polish the writing. The final step to the process is publishing. Whether it is hung on the wall, in a newspaper, magazine, read out loud, or blogged, then the composition is considered published.

My Dream Vacation

As I lay there I can feel a sea-sprayed breeze blow and the warm sun on my skin. I watch my three children play in the surf and build sandcastles. Meanwhile, my husband brought us a couple of Mai Tais as we relax in this paradise. Coming to Hawaii for a week is my families dream vacation. Just resting and relaxing at the beach without any schedules to follow. The island is beautiful, it reminds me of my childhood in the Philippines. Hawaii is full of lush foliage, beautiful flowers, and the sand that just falls off your skin.

When we first arrived at the resort, my family took off to the beach to explore the sand for shells and look for live animals. While we walked along the beach, a local told us about a scuba diving trip. So before long, we were in scuba gear flipping backwards off the boat into the ocean. The world under water is so peaceful and wonderful. We saw colorful coral, various fish, and dolphins that approached us. It was amazing.

Another day was filled with shopping and sight-seeing. Afterward, we ended up back at the resort. The two girls and I enjoyed facials, manicures, and pedicures. My son and husband joined us later for massages. At sunset, the Hawaiian sky was full of vibrant colors as we took part in a Luau. There was a large feast of Hawaiian food among lit torches, beating drums and our necks filled with fragrant leis. We watched the various Polynesian dancers but our favorite performance was the Samoan fire dancers. It was all muscles and swirling fire.

Furthermore, on another excursion, we went on a Hawaiian volcano tour. The experience was breathtaking, we saw magnificent waterfalls, spectacular lava flowing into the ocean, and the steam as it hit the ocean waters. Not only was it a learning experience for the children, it will be an adventure we will never forget.

But one life changing event happened. During our shopping expedition, my husband and I purchased a winning lottery ticket. It was worth $75 million. With that money we returned home to Texas, built a 5,000 sq. ft. home on 75 acres of land with a large outdoor living area in the backyard. Then suddenly, as I lay there, I feel my two year old climb into the bed and I realize my vacation is all a dream.
