Run Elif Run - Funs and Trips

We made a 14-day road trip from Chapel Hill to Miami in winter break in December. We visited seven different beautiful towns such as Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Key West.  I recorded our daily expenditures and analysed them at the end of the trip. The total cost of the trip was approximately $1,900. Meanwhile, the average daily cost was $136. We spent $1,000 for hotels and it was 53 percent of total costs. The second highest cost was entertainment cost which included ticket fee of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and entrance fee of parks, beaches, and other facilities and shopping.  Cost analysis of the trip I generated a table and a chart to show the cost analysis of the trip.

In the last day of our trip, we just only turned back to home. It took almost 7 hours from Jacksonville to Chapel Hill. Therefore, we did not want to visit anywhere else. We just made a quick picnic in a small park in Jacksonville on the morning and ate our breakfast. Later on, we began our 1.

Our last day in Miami, we visited the North Beach that was less crowded than the South Beach. While we were going to the North Beach, we saw the luxury residents and neighborhoods of the island which was amused us. Luckily, it was sunny and the ocean was not wavy. Therefore, we could swim for hours. Additionally, Elif found a friend and played with her in sands and water. After swimming on North Beach, we began to our trip to turn back home. Because it was a long trip from Miami to Chapel Hill, we decided stay one night in Jacksonville. Thanks to the rewards of Hotels.com (1 night reward for 10 nights booking) we booked our hotel in Jacksonville in an affordable price.   1. Activities North Beach (Miami North Beach) 2.

We spent the entire day in Miami Beach also named The South Beach. We had a chance to swim thanks to sunny and warm weather. In contrast, the ocean was too wavy, and swimming in the ocean was too dangerous. Even we witnessed a sad accident that one guy sunk while he was swimming. The rescue team tried to save him for a long time. I hope he could survive.  We continued our day on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach at night for new year's eve and to watch the fireworks show. However, the show was canceled due to the heavy wind. Therefore, we just made the count down and celebrated the new year.  Meanwhile, both the beach and Ocean Drive was too crowded. I have never seen such a great number of people together since the pandemic began. 1. Activities Star Island Bayfront Park Bayside Marketplace Miami Beach (South Beach) Ocean Drive 2.
