Neoxian City: Writing Prompt #7 – Toppers

Dear Hivers,
Some people like vacations – others don’t. That was apparent from the entries during this 7th edition of Neoxian City writing prompt.

Although a selection is made for the winners and honorable mentions - everyone was a "Topper"! Thanks for your participation.

Reminder - please do not forget to adhere to the Guidelines. Your effort is appreciated. AI content is easily detectable. When selection is difficult - Guidelines matter.

The Toppers!!

These top posts receive an equal share of the posts rewards - 6.65 Hives plus 500 neoxags!!

My Best Family Vacation... by @george-dee

"It's your turn," Olujay told me immediately after he returned from the HR office.
My annual leave was approaching and it was the company tradition to sponsor
the worker's vacation.
"Welcome, you can have your seat."

A vacation that I will never forget by @dapomolaaaa

I'm actually not the type of person who likes travelling and this is not because I don't like adventure or going to a new place but one of the reasons is because I'm weird. I have foods I don't eat because they make me uncomfortable due to my lactose intolerance and many more so in other not to allow people to make me feel it's a great sin not to eat some type of food

My best vacations by @rosmiapure

For me, vacations represent the opportunity to travel somewhere and enjoy time with family or friends. Ever since I was little and lived in Amazonas, I got used to traveling during school holidays, often to Apure. Once there, my aunt would enroll me in a course or take me out to eat something delicious or go shopping.

Vacations on 2 wheels by @verdesmeralda

I have had the opportunity to travel to beautiful places, beaches, mountains, moors.... However, my best vacation was when I decided to spend a few days in my sister's new house, 2 hours away from my current home. Also my mother would be there, you can see her in the next picture, in the background, at the door.

An enjoyable vacation that ended up in a hospital bed by @vickoly

Going on vacation is always a pleasurable experience that promises exotic sights, relaxation, time to meditate, the beauty of nature and infrastructural designs, and the like. As someone who loves to travel and behold new places at every given time, I've got loads of experiences I could possibly write about, but for this prompt, I've decided to write about one of my vacation gone wrong experiences.

Memorable Beach Vacation With A Close Family Friend. by @udezee

Vacations are trips or outings that allow individuals or families to take time off from their various jobs to indulge in recreational activities like camping, traveling to beautiful tourist destinations, or road trips. They typically serve as periods of relaxation and exploration of other areas of interest for individuals who embark on them.

The perfect Holiday by @b0s

"It's going to be the best holiday ever." I told myself as I was packing my luggages. My wife said I needed this so much, and in truth I really felt like I did. I had been working so much recently, we made some big money moves in the company and it meant I had to work more to make sure everything was perfect. I'd been told many times I was a perfectionist, but I didn't believe that, I still don't believe that.

ONE OF THE WORST VACATION EVER... by @quduus1

I am about to share a story I have never told anyone apart from my family members, this is an event that happened about five years ago and because of how everything unfolded back then, I have never been able to get over the trauma of that terrible incident…
The truth is that I regret the time I said yes to this so-called vacation

The Long & Scary Vacation Became Memorable by @merit.ahama

I thought I was going to write about a vacation I enjoyed when I saw the prompt but once again, I'm reminded of what happened years back the first time I visited grandma as a teenager, not as a baby when mum had to carry me there. That time, I went myself along with my siblings in hopes of spending a holiday with grandma before new session started at school.

THE WORST VACATION EVER by @eunice9200

This is the worst story of my life concerning vacations, I had listened to a gist from my friends about vacations, and they always give me sweet stories about their vacations, visiting places, and having fun even some will show me pictures of how their vacations went through.
