Fall Vacation 2022

At 3 am,  October 16 we got up and got dressed. I went outside after getting ready and saw the moon it was very bright. we also saw mars using our planet app.  Afterwords I got into the car and we left the house around 4.😥. We got to the airport and went to check a bag. after we went to security and met up with daddy. We went to the plane train and went on our gate! we got hungry and stopped by a bakery. I got a Cheese and sausage sandwich and it tasted really good. It sorta fell on the floor afterwards tho 🥹. They called at 6:30 to board, we got on the plane and waited awhile. They came over with snack. I got cranberry juice and for snack they gave us   A snack mix, we arrived in Florida/Tampa and I looked out the window and saw many body’s of water which is really cool. The view from the plane onto Florida is so nice. We arrived at the Florida Airport.  We waited 20 minutes and  we saw Grandma, and Pop Pop. I was so happy!  I was shocked.  Then we, took a van, and got to the hotel. It was one of the nicest hotels I’ve been too yet.

We got some food and came back to the hotel. And took a nap. Afterwords we, walked around and  it was very nice we also got some dinner.  We came back home, checked out the pool. The pool was pretty nice tbh.  I went to bed, woke up and got ready to go to the cruise… I’m so excited to go on the cruise!  We road the tram. The tram is going to take us to our cruise ship.

We’re almost here, and I can see the tip of the ship! 

Bye bye tram. 

I had to put on my sunglasses because it got so hot.

I’m waiting in line to do security now and I’m so ready! We got on the cruise, we ate with Grandma and Pop Pop. Afterwords we got to our room. We looked around and decorated it a bit. Afterwords we checked into our daycare. 

Then, after we did that we went back to the hotel and changed into our swimsuits. We swam, and went on some slides.  Then, while at the swimming area we ate a burger and the burger was quite good.  We did another water - slide then went back to our room. We got dressed for dinner…

… We ate then went to a show. It’s really funny.

After the show, RJ was knocked out so we went to the room. We put him to bed, afterwords we walked around the cruise a bit, we got really tired, and went to bed. In the morning, we ate breakfast and then me and RJ went to camp. I met a friend named jade, and some other people. Afterwords I went for lunch I saw her , then got ice cream. I went to the Dr. Seus show, then went back to camp ocean. At 3, I got changed then went to the water slide, we played for hours on the slide. Then I went to dinner and it was my dads birthday, we sang happy birthday to him at dinner and they gave him a cake.  I went back to camp ocean for 30 minutes then , I checked out and went with my friend to get a meatball sandwich, and some ice cream. I got to my room, and tmr we go to Cavman Island. I woke up,  got dressed, put on my swimsuit and stuff. I went up to elevator and got some breakfast.

Afterword, we waited quite awhile then went on a boat to go toward the Cayman Island. 

Once we got there, we sat on a bench and waited till 9:00 am to go on the bus. 

We got on the bus, and the person driving is talking about the history of Cayman Island and everything that happened.

We got out the bus, and went on the bus. We had to take off our shoes before we got onto the boat.

We got off the boat, and went into the water. 

I saw fish, and coral. It was so nice.  I got back up on the boat, and headed to the stingray bay.  We went to the stingray bay. It was so fun!!! 

There was so many of them.  Next we went to the starfish bay. And it was so cool. It kept sucking onto my hand.

After we did that, it was time to go back to Cayman island. we drove back (it took 40 minutes to get there).  Once we got there, we went to the bus. The bus picked us up. Once we got off the bus we went to the shop. It was a couple minutes to spare, but after we got to the boat to go back on the cruise. 

Some photos from Cayman Island …

Once we got on the cruise,  we ate lunch and then we slept, and after I went to Camp Ocean. 7-10.

The next day, was Cozumel. I woke up and put on my swimsuit. We left the house, they told us it was raining, we got outside and looked around the downtown area.  We rented a jeep and drove, we got some coconuts from the side of the street.  I don’t really like coconuts though. We got into the car and went to a restaurant, we got tacos and had chips and  Guacamole. The guacamole was really good and so was the Tacos. Afterwords, we kept driving and we saw an area. It had a bunch of shops, and stuff. We went to a place, and looked for stuff but everything was so expensive, the people kept bothering us and trying to give us sales. 

Then, we kept driving and went to a snack place with local snacks. I got a mango drink, and a cookie. We, kept driving and saw a place. We went inside and it took card, so we sat down. We got 2 batch’s of fries, beef nachos and guacamole and chips. once we got our food it was so good!’ While we were sitting someone with local candy came up to us. Sariah pulled out a 10, and bought 2 gummy bear candies for RJ and her. We kept driving, and stopped at a shop and got some lotion and some candy. We drove back, we got on the ship, people were cheering and stuff because the fun is sadly over. After I went to camp ocean from 7 pm to 10 pm. 

The next day I woke up, ate breakfast and went to camp ocean. I checked out in the middle of it because I was very bored. At 4, I went back for the Halloween party. I ended up dressing as Mickey Mouse. I wore my Mickey Mouse shirt, and put my hair in two buns.  After I grabbed Jade and we went to the scavenger hunt, we got some candy they kept giving us peppermints and tootsie rolls.  Afterwords we went to 02 to party. We had a dance party, and they gave out rewards saying who had the best costume, funniest costume and stuff like that. 

Then, I went to camp ocean at 7. I got pretty sad since today was the last day. When my friend Jade left, I got pretty emotional because she doesn’t have a phone and I won’t see her ever again. :(  I went to my room, put my suitcase outside. I went back out and grabbed some pizza and water. After, I wrote in my journal and went to bed.  Today is the last day, and I’m very sad :(  I have to leave all my friends. I woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. we  waited for our number to be called, it got called we  went to find our bag at number 12. We found all four of our bags they were all together, so we didn’t have to look different ways.  We waited in line for the customs. 

The line was really long. After we got out that really long line, we got on the bus that took us to the airport. We arrived at the airport, and went to line up in the delta line to check our bag. We waited in security, we got into TSA Pre . We went to Gate E 64. We waited till it was time for our plane to board.  I went on the plane and the view in the sky was very nice.

Then, the airport people came around and gave us Biscoff cookies and a drink. I love Biscoff cookies on a delta airline they’re the best. Once it landed we got out the plane, got our bags and did everything. Then we got on the bus and headed to our area where to pick up the car. We got home and I was super tired. That is the end of our trip.
