Question #2:

What are places to cover in Puerto Rico in 6 days? Im planning a vacation & having a hard time figuring it out?

Me and a couple of friends are planning on a vacation to Puerto Rico for 6 days. We are having troubles in planning a itinerary. We all want to do all sorts of activities like scuba diving and all and also maybe do bio-tours. Anybody who lives there or has been on a vacation and can give a real good idea would be greatly appreciated.

Question #3:

I don't know what to do about my parents and me?

Ok to start I should say that financially we're ok. By no means rich, but definetly not poor. Middle class, maybe the lower tier of upper middle class.

So I'm 17, and all along since I when I was younger, I would hear stories of my friends going to different states, or countries, or even just camping out. I have lived in California and Washington, and the only place I have gone on vacation was to Vegas for two or three days with my dad (in retrospect a horrible idea. I got sick and it wasn;t very fun. What idiot dad has a 9 year old choose a vacation destination, and then later act like it was the best thing ever?). Or how their parents would have a really cool skill or interest, like skiing or running, soccer, scuba diving, etc, and my friends/their parents could bond over that.

My parents and I have not gone on any vacations together, let alone a camping trip, and my parents don't have any interests....at all. Basically all they care about is the life/day to day crap and our dog. So I've been able to deal with this, but now it's break and pretty much all of my friends are going on some cool vacation....and I'm not. I asked my dad once why we never went ANYWHERE and he said "I've already done that", and then I asked him why we've never been on a roadtrip or camping or anything, and he answered "I went camping once before"....that was for a cubscout trip that we went one of three days for. He never answered the roadtrip.

And then I continued to look at my friends. Maybe this is self defending, but I am very intelligent, tons of people come to me for help/school work and for intellectual conversation, but I have a much lower GPA than all of them. And then I looked and their relationship with their parents.....all of their parents had some kind of bonding activity with them, or were a big part of their lives, and then me......I have nothing. Even kids who I know are lower income than me had a better relationship with their parents. Everyone who excels at something or is smarter, seems to have been helped by their parents in some way. And that makes me envious and angry at the same time, because my parents have NEVER tried to do anything of the sort.

My mom is slightly better than my dad. She used to drive us to amusment parks and the such. But that wasn't exactly mentally stimulating, and it hasn't helped to sculpt me into anything worth while. My dad does no housework, doesn't drive us, all he does is walk our dog twice a day. He doesn't cook or clean or anything.

So here I am now, admittedly in teenage angst, but I think I am justified. My parents have never made it a goal to mentally stimulate or nurture, or physically nurture me. It honestly seems to me as if they thought parenting just meant keeping a kid alive....honestly, they've raised our damn dogs better than me, they often drive it with them because it "likes to go on rides", or "walk it because he's bored", and I can't even fathom how much money they've spend on medical stuff for them....where as for me it's been basic shots and stuff, and one issue where I needed three stitches.

So basically here I am, a rather unfullfilled 17 year old with only so much to offer. I have not traveled outside the country, or outside the west coast. My family has never taken a single vacation together, my mom/sister went on one to Italy together, and my dad/I went to vegas. We are far from poor, and I know the issue has not been money, because we've had enough money to buy new appliances, get a yard which goes unused for my dog, medical bills for said dog, etc.
And then my parents have really not cared about my grades, or outside school life. Basically I have parents who help me sustain life, but take absolutely no interest in generating bonds or a relationship.
Oh yes, also recently I was really depressed about this. My mom wanted to go get something, and I just said no/that she could go. So then she said "it has to be done" (referring to the task), punch me on the left side of my face, and called me a loser/said I had to friends.......and she was yelling a fair amount and then said our dog didn't like to hear yelling.

And my dad is pretty volatile too. Once when I asked if I could go on some trip he said he'd never spend that much/it was stupid, then I said he spent that much on my sister's trip and he said an explitive to me. Then my mom said something, he got up as if he was about to hit her (later he said he was just going to get in her face), I defended her my throwing my foot in front of me, he then jumped on top of me and tried to smother me or something. After he said he'd "hit me when she wasn't around". And he has yelled alot too, and hit my sister a few times (pushing and the such, nothing horrible, but nonetheless).
Ok, this also seems to be some confusion so I'll clear this up. I wouldn't care if my parents took me to Europe, or took me to some nearby national park, the point is they blatantly refuse to do anything to try to bring us together, because we are pretty damn disfunctional.

I submitted a poem before for a scholarship, and my mom accused me of plagerizing it. I of course didn't, and when I got the scholarship she asked what it was for, and she still thought I stole it.

My dad has always refused to do anything with us, whether it's going to disneyland when I was young, or whatever, it's nothing new. And when I've asked him to go to a football game or a college game, he's said no. And he likes football/sports.

And I've asked them to try all kinds of new things, all have been met with "I;m too busy", or just straight no....

Question #4:

English to Spanish translation?

Dear Alyssa,
I am very happy we chose to go to Mexico for vacation! I hope we stay here for two weeks. Although I doubt we will. We’ll probably only stay for a week. As soon as we have checked into our hotel and have unpacked, we are going to the beach! I’m very excited. After that, we are going out to eat. A man at the hotel recommended a few restaurants he thinks are very good. The weather right now is wonderful. It's warm with a light breeze. My parents said that we might go scuba diving while we’re here. I couldn’t believe it at first. Later, when we go to the beach, will be the first time I’ve even see the ocean in person. I hope you’re doing well. Maybe you can come along the next time we visit Mexico. I’ll write you again later this week.
Your friend,
Leanne

Thank you!
oh, and please don't use an online translator.

Question #6:

Where do the commas and or semicolons go?

I'm not good with commas or semicolons so if you can help then thanks. Each number contains one or two sentences which may have one or more commas or semicolons missing. Some of these omissions may be correct.

1. My English teacher is so strict! At the beginning of the quarter she said “If you miss three classes you will get an F.”

2. During my summer vacation I went to the beach. My favorite beach activities are swimming scuba diving parasailing and jet skiing.

3. Georgia Southern is a great school but I wish Statesboro were a bigger town! On the weekends there is nothing to do.

4. Although Lucretia is an excellent hostess she was somewhat nonplussed when she stumbled down the stairs falling face-first into the clam dip.

5. I told my friend whose name is Anne that I have homework to do therefore I must leave the play early. She understood but she was sad that I was going to miss the last act.

6. Jan my best friend cannot go to the movies with us. Her mother said “Young lady you aren’t going anywhere until you clean up your room!”

7. I want a cute brown puppy but my mother won’t let me have one. She says that puppies are noisy messy and loud.

8. I like basketball better than football because basketball is more exciting and fast-paced than football.

Question #7:

Any ideas for a vacation destination?

So a few friends and I are looking into going on a tropical type vacation near the end of this year. None of us have ever gone anywhere before so we all have ideas of where we should go.
Here's a list of what we are looking for:

beach, all inclusive package (if possible), activities like scenic hikes, scuba diving, etc...and if possible someplace with a interesting history. We are students so nothing extremely extravagant resort wise, we also want someplace with a nightlife so we can have a little fun too.

As you can see its a fairly tall list, we want to be busy but enjoy some luxury too. Does anyone know of or has been to any where like this. Or any ideas of a good area of the world to start looking? (also we are coming from canada)

Thank you in advance!!!

Question #11:

What is a good itinarary for Tahiti?

I'm going on vacation to Tahiti for about 2 weeks, and I was wondering what a good itinerary was.
I love scuba diving and snorkeling.

Question #12:

Where is the best place (city) to stay at in Costa Rica?

My friend and I are 18 and we are going to vacation in Costa Rica for 2 weeks at the end of May and I was just wondering where the best place to stay is (city, hotels, etc.)? We would like to try some surfing, snorkelling, scuba diving, laying on the beach, etc. We would also like to go somewhere that is relatively safe and that has a pretty good nightlife. We both know Spanish pretty well so that is not really an issue for us. Any suggestions as to where we should go and/or stay in Costa Rica?

also, we would like to stay somewhere that has some other activities or that is within driving distance of other sites or activities (ziplining, hiking, shopping--- those sorts of things) if possible.

Question #13:

Question #14:

Where is a good place for two teenage girls to vacation in May/June?

My friend and I are both 18 and will be graduating in mid-May. We want to take a vacation for a couple weeks in the end of May but aren't sure yet where to go. We would prefer to go somewhere in Mexico or Central America-- preferably not somewhere within the continental US. We have looked into Cancun and a couple other places so far. We are mostly looking to go somewhere with great beaches and snorkelling or scuba diving opportunities, a very active nightlife, reasonably affordable flights and hotels, beautiful people, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to where we should go?

p.s. we would really like to go somewhere that is pretty safe because it will just be us two girls and we're both able to speak spanish so that isn't an issue if we go somewhere with limited English.

Question #15:

where is a good place to vacation to...?

where is a good place to vacation where the waters are really clear and blue, the sand is white, you can snorkel/scuba dive, there are lots of marine mammals to see, and just lots of clear pretty ocean and animals?

thanks!

Question #16:

What is your favorite vacation spot? Why is that your favorite? And what did you or can you do there?

Please answer all of the above questions, the last one to specify.. I am asking what is there to do there? Is there Hiking or Skiing or Scuba Diving? Also for why is that your favorite i'm asking why do you like it or how does it attract you more then other vacations you have been on? Thanks!

Question #17:

Vacation Puerto Rico/Jamaica?

Sometime after we get our taxes back, my husband and I wanted to go on vacation. Puerto Rico and Jamaica were both options. What we would like to know is where is the best place to go for a couple on a budget for fun. Not nightclubs- more like snorkeling, scuba diving, learning to surf, and just be outdoors trying new things. Any ideas for the best locations?

Question #18:

Can someone PLEASE translate this paragraph to Spanish for me?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :)?

My family and I went to the Bahamas for a summer vacation, we went on a plane that took us from San Antonio to Florida, and from florida we got on a smaller plane that took us to the Bahamas.
