Today officially began at 7 AM when we woke up to commence our island session. Yesterday when we arrived, I was assigned the closest room to the resort office. I have to say, this has exceeded my expectations. We gathered at the designated spot assigned last night. We boarded "Speedy's" taxi, which then took drove us to eat breakfast. ...

Yesterday was a long, long day that involed a sprint to the gate, a flight next to a kid who didn't understand the idea of personal space, and an epic boat ride to the island with the lightning blinding us. Today was just as long, but just as fun. My day started at four fourty five with a rooster crowing...

We're finally here! After much anticipation, we arrived at the Virgin Gorda airport last night and checked in to our hotel last night (the Guava Berry Resort).

When everyone had arrived we went down to the guavaberry offices and talked to Tina (hotel manager) about the rules and regulations of the complex. After we finished talking to Tina we then headed to...

Today we started off eating breakfast at a nearby resort and then we had orientation and stuff which lasted like 3 hours. Afterwards we stayed at that same resort and had lunch. Right after lunch we got into the boats and went out on our first dive. Our dive site was Pond Bay and it was really cool...
