| Map of Mackinac Island and The Grand Hotel ( Pictured above) |
Can you imagine being on a peaceful island,
with no cars? To get around the island you are pulled by horse drawn carriage.
The water is a clear crystal blue. This is Mackinac Island. The main attraction
on the island is the Grand Hotel (pictured above). The hotel was built in 1886
and has been a popular vacation spot ever since. The Grand Hotel boasts a large
porch and beautiful flower gardens. Vibrant geraniums, roses and peonies fill
the gardens with a mystical aroma that takes you away. No room is the same at
the Grand Hotel. Each time you go is a new discovery. When I went to Mackinac
Island, I actually stayed in Mackinaw City, which is a short ferry ride away
from the Island. If I were to go again I would stay on the Island. I feel like
it would just be a better experience, you would wake up and be in this gorgeous
place. There is plenty to do on the Island and in the City. For instance my
family and I rode bikes that we rented all around the island, stopping at
different points of interest, like arch rock. In the afternoon my mother and I
rode horses along a trail. It is such a peaceful place to go. In the city there
is tons of shops and restaurants and entertainment, most hotels had a beach
attached so you could go swimming in the water.

Refection
I chose to do this piece of non-fiction because I felt that I could have done a way better job of it. When I first did it I didn’t really understand what a travel review should be like but after looking at my peers work I realized that I could have made my work way better. It frustrates me when I do a piece and afterwards I figure out that I could have done more detail and improvements. So while doing this I had the chance to fix up my old work. I added in my experiences on my trip, because how is anyone supposed to get something from your review, if you aren’t actually reviewing what you did etc. A travel review is supposed to help others decide if they would want to go to that place or find out what the place is all about.
