A Week in Paradise - Wednesday

DAY SIX

Today was the saddest day of all. It's the day we had to leave the wonderful paradise.

Our flight was at three, so naturally we showed up to the airport at twelve thirty. Check in and security were completely painless. We quickly got to the area with food.

I ate a turkey wrap with onion rings and grape juice. Once we all finished with lunch, we went into the executive lounge. Mostly it was because we wanted to be away from the small crowded area that everyone gets shoved into.

Eventually it was time to board. Once on the plane at the window seat, a couple with a baby sat in front of us. This made the flight a little more painful than necessary, but over all the flight went well.

Once on the ground however, things got hectic. Over an intercom, a man said that our bags would be in Terminal E. However my father didn't hear him and took us to Terminal A which is outside security. After waiting for our luggage to show up, we asked someone where it was. This kind person told us that it was in Terminal F - the international concourse. This made my father very upset because we landed domestic. We tried to go through security again, but we needed a ticket FROM Atlanta not TO Atlanta. We then asked the Delta workers what we should do. They told us to use the bus that would take us the the international concourse to pick up our bags. As my father got the car to pick us up there, my mother, two brothers, and I picked up our bags and waited.

Once we retrieved our bag we drove home to have dinner. My brother drove me to Panera. He ordered a cinnamon crunch bagel, and I got a sour dough bread bowl. Both were delicious.

This is the end of the week in paradise however. Now it's back to school and work...

A Week in Paradise - Tuesday

DAY FIVE

Windy is the one word to describe today. From the time I woke up, until I went to sleep I could hear the wind. I could hear it through my windows and I could hear it rattling my door.

This terrible wind made me stay inside most of the day. Except I did escape for about ten minutes. In those ten minutes I was able to see a rainbow and discover an easy way to walk to the hotel pool.

For the rest of the day, I was trapped inside as I didn't think going to the beach or pool when it was that windy would have been wise. I was able to get some YouTube stuff done though which was good. I also was able to just lounge around and be lazy which was nice too.

Tomorrow I fly back to Atlanta which is disappointing. However all good things must come to an end.

A Week in Paradise - Monday

DAY FOUR

The morning was very nice and warm. I expected it to be rainy all day long.

Around noon I went to the pool and swam some laps. Once it started raining I went back inside.

For dinner, we ate in the apartment. My dad made chicken with mac and cheese. It was delicious of course.

Then around seven thirty in the evening, we went down to the pool again. It was so beautiful at night. Across the bay, two lighthouses were shining their light around. The lights of the city looked so bright against the dark night sky. It seemed that the island had the only light in the world. The moon looked so beautiful. As the clouds covered and uncovered the moon, it became even more beautiful. 

A Week in Paradise - Sunday

DAY THREE

In the morning, I was able to relax outside, catch up on some YouTube, and just take in the amazing view.

We went down to the beach once again. As the three boys played soccer and played in the waves, I finished reading Girl Online. Now that I've finished the book I can give my full review of it!

I love they style of the writing. I transported me straight to the places described. I like how the characters have a lot of depth to them and change with what's going on. The plot twist was amazing. I would have never guessed it would happen. However I do wish that the ending wasn't cut short. It seemed to me that it was rushed compared to the rest of the book. I loved the strong friendship between Eliot and Penny. I also love that in the end it had an overall good moral that was clear and easy to point out. Most books today have their morals covered by fluff and big plots with even bigger words, but the message was very clear with Girl Online. Overall a very good book, and I can't wait to read the next one!

After the beach, I decided to go on "and adventure". Basically I walked up a little street without parental supervision... So adventurous I know.

But the little houses were so cute and quaint. I love the architecture of them. The pastel colors - blue, yellow, pink - always look so lovely against the beautiful Bermuda blue water. The beautiful flowers gave the area the tropical vibe I love so much.

After my short adventure, we went to dinner. I ordered fish and chips which was very good. Then I went to sleep despite the fact it was only about nine thirty in the evening.
