We were running down the airport corridor, as I was yelling to my mom,
”Hurry up or we’re going to miss the plane!”
It was one of best day of my life. We had gone to Barbados before and we had a fantastic time. But this time it was going to be awesome because my whole family was going to be there! So here we were rushing as we always did when we were in an airport.
“We don’t really need to rush!” my mom yelled, as she was ran along beside me.

I yelled back, “Oh sorry. I just get so excited when we go to Barbados.”
So once we checked in, got through security and arrived in the waiting room, the voice of a lady came on the intercom and said,
“Tracy Caunning please come to the desk at gate 24.”
She took a really long time so after a while I started to worry and I couldn’t see her so I went over to the booth and my mom was there she said,
“I was just about to get a first class ticket, I was going to say I was alone!”
I frowned and both, the lady at the desk and my mom laughed.

After that my mom and me went back to our seats in the waiting room. I started to play Gameboy and my mom tried finish off her book. Then the lady came on the intercom and said,

“All passengers wishing to board flight 124 who require assistance or have small children please report to gate 24”

Then I started to get really excited so I (stupidly enough) decided that I would go and check our e-mails before we left.

In the airport they have these neat yellow computers that you have to pay to use. You get something like 15 minutes for 50 cents. So, I ran to the nearest computer that was 5 minutes down the hall. Then I put my money in the computer and turned it on. On the computer I checked all of our e-mails. We have about 4 of them so it took me about 10 minutes to check them all. Then I played a few games. I was right into one game when all of a sudden I heard,

“Calling all passengers on flight 124 to Barbados. We are now boarding all passengers. Please report to gate 24.”

So I ran down the hall as fast as I could. I thought I was too late but then I saw the small end of the line coming from our gate. So I went back to our seats looking for my mom. She wasn’t there! Then I panicked. And I almost started to cry but then my mom came running over saying that she was just over waiting for me in the line.

Once we finally boarded the plane and got settled the movie Harry Potter started. So we watched the movie and we arrived in Barbados.

It was extremely hot in Barbados and since it was so hot we walked across the runway to deboard the plane. Then we got a cab to take us to our resort with my grandparents. At the villa my Nana, Granddad, Aunt Joan and Uncle Mike were waiting for us.

As soon as we did our hugs and kisses we went off to the beach. We played Frisbee and made sandcastles together. After the sun set we walked back to the villa, unpacked and went to sleep for the night.

The next day my Aunt Kimberly arrived at the villa. She arrived late because her plans were delayed by 2 days because of flight problems. Once she got settled in we all went down to the beach for another day of beach fun. After we got back and we all got showered and were clean, I went down to the courtyard and saw some kids playing. The boys name was Crisdence, and he was from Latvia. He spoke a little English and his first language was Latvian. It was cool playing with Chris because he didn’t know muck English and I didn’t know any Latvian so he taught me a little of his language and I taught him a little of mine. After that Chris and me played a lot.
