Traveling is an exciting experience．It makes us feel pleased，and enjoy new wonders and new part of life that we've never known．A single holiday trip can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow．It matters little where you go on your holiday；it is all in what you make of it．Any travel can be interesting and attractive，and give you memories to last a lifetime．
Having those memories is truly what travels are all about．Many people say that a bit of planning and research before you leave can make sure of those long﹣lasting memories．But why not try something unexpected？In fact，the most unforgettable moments of a travel experience are the ones that you don't plan for．Yes，maybe you'll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place．But these experience will make sure you discover little﹣known shops or an open﹣air theater production that is only advertised in the local paper．
You'll find the enjoyable moments happening all around you：a wonderful sunset or a small child playing in the puddles（水洼） of a cobble（鹅卵石）road．The magic will truly be in the trip you take．Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place，which will allow you to listen，smell，and see the different culture and sights that your busy life may stop you from enjoying．

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady told him the price.
The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
