Becoming British in the BVI, Day 1

Well the flight from Dallas was fun, or as fun as a flight can be I guess. and I slept on sections of the last two flights (the one from Puerto Rico to the BVI was a propeller plane, which I thought was cool). But talking about sleeping on a plane would make a boring blog, so I guess...

Islands and the Wide Open Ocean

Long day of travel yesterday but I enjoyed the company of my classmates. Despite the long day of travel, I had a hard time falling asleep due to the anticipation of today's activities and the wildlife welcoming us (not so) graciously. Sleeping here is different than back home, mainly the sun rising at 5:30 and the rooster outside our...

Aquatic Endeavors day 1 and 2

Woke up with adventure on my mind Rolled up to the airport before the sun hit the sky Met up with the men for others from Dallas And then we headed off to the tropical palace Miami to San Juan to Tortola then Gorda, Those were the connecting flights in order Three planes and a boat, it took to arrive At guavaberry, the mosquito paradise.

Boats ‘N Bros (2)

I was woken up at exactly 4:37 to get ready to go to the airport. So, I took a shower, packed up and left my house. To sum it all up I travelled until 4:37 to 9:30. Once we arrived at the lovely resort that goes by Guavaberry, I took a shower and went to bed. The next morning...

I’m On a Boat

My trip to the BVI began at around 4 in the morning. After two relatively uneventful flights to Miami and then San Juan, which were spent attempting to catch up on summer reading and sleeping, we walked onto the tarmac to board our flight to Tortola. The plane held at most 30 people, and had two spinning propellors...

Day One: “I Become a Chimney Sweep”

I Become a Chimney Sweep By Alex Magee Yesterday... We arrived at Virgin Gorda at night and went to bed, only after eating microwaved macaroni and cheese and granola bars. (I only microwaved the macaroni and cheese, not the granola bars...) Today... I woke up at about 6:15 to hundreds of mosquito bites on my legs, which is a very itchy way to...

The Beginning of Paradise

The first night was a late night because I couldn't fall asleep because I couldn't stop thinking about the next day. I was looking forward to it so much that I just laid in bed for hours just starting at the ceiling fan going around and around. Later on however I was just so exhausted that I passed out...

Boats N’ Bros

I woke up at 4:00 A.M. yesterday exited for my trip. Those feelings of excitement were eventually put to rest after three plane rides and a boat ride with my bros to reach my final destination of Virgin Gorda late at night, and the only feelings I had left were exhaustion and a sharp pain in my butt....

Day 2 of the trip (Wednesday): The first real day

I was so tired after I got off the plane last night that I did not think that the boat ride was going to be fun or that when we met the instructors, who were driving the boat, that they were going to be happy because it was ten o'clock and they were having to pick up rowdy teenagers...
