My first day at Catalina Island began as a tired blur and
ended in laughter. After waking at the despicable hour of 3 am I half walked
half dragged myself to the car. I said my good byes at the airport and boarded
the plane. I am not scared of a lot of things, but of my fears plane rides are
featured prominently at the top of the list. I spent the plane ride in a state
of terror thinking of everything that could go wrong. None of my scenarios were
realistic (engine failure, freak accident, angry vampires) and we landed safely
in LA. After an uneventful bus ride we arrived at the dock, waiting for our
boat. I spent the whole ride on the deck trying to touch the turquoise water. After
that everything was new and exciting, too much to keep track of. Exiting the
boat, the spray of the sea, loudly singing Disney songs, volleyball, food,
snorkeling, cabins, and fish. Through it all one thing became clear; this is
going to be a trip to remember.
P.S. Hi mom! I love you.
