The place I want to go in the United States

If I could choose any place in the United States , I would probably go to Miami , Florida. Miami Is known to be the most fun and exciting city in Florida. Miami is known to have beautiful beaches with palm trees and crashing waves. Also two thirds of the population in Miami is hispanic. Miami is very hot occasionally. The average temperture year round is 80-90 degrees , except around the winter time.
      The way I would get there would probably take a plane to Opa-Locka airport and get off and drive the rest of the way to the Hampton hotel on Miami beach. On my travel I would need tons of clothes , mostly for the beach. I would also need to have a job , because I love to buy and spend money on things , and I would need a job to do that. I would need beach supplies for the beach. I would toothpaste and all the things to keep my hygeine up to date. 
      One of things that I would expect and do in Miami is go to South beach. South beach is known as the hot spot in Miami. This place is always filled with people , it is also known as the place to go shopping , where you can party , and meet people. All things I like to do, Another place that is very popular in Miami  that I would expect to do is go to the Everglades National Park. The Everglades is known for about  1.5 acres of swamps, saw-grass prairies and sub-tropical jungles. It is home to about 14 endangered species. mostly the American Crocodile , the Florida Panther , and the West Indian Mantee. I would expect to see alot of great sites and be able to walk on amazing beaches. Miami should be fun.

Into the wild Intro

Into the wild is a non-fiction book written by Jon Krakuer. The main character is a boy in college that lives in Virginia. It seems like a good book to read. Has a lot of facts and struggles that the main character faces. For example living through 119 days in the Alaska wilderness. Overall I cant wait to read it.
