Sad To Say We're On Our Way

Monday Feb 19,

Gabriella and Kiara back again.

Sorry we missed you yesterday, but we were really, really busy. Sharlene helped us make the neatest tiedye outfits. We did sand drawings, and leaf drawings apart from all the other activities. We had a great time with our new friends playing with some hermit crabs and we even named the crabs.

With some other of our new friends, we went fishing, fed the goats and swam.
Our Nanny Sharlene stayed late with us last night and she took us to the kids buffet for dinner . We had a bonfire on the beach and roasted marshmallows. (Shh... we each had four ...shhh!)

Our grownups went back to the Italian restaurant because they had enjoyed it so much on Friday night.

Now it is Monday and we are going back to Canada today.

Sad to say we're on our way
Got to go to Montego Bay
To catch a plane and go back home
After we've gone jumping in the foam.

Today the sea is very different. The water has a lot of waves and foam and people are having fun jumping in the waves. We got up early so that we could do a walk on the beach and get more shells to take home. Mommy said that we could each get two hair braids. Do you like them? We had our last swim just before lunch.

Our Nanny Sharlene had lunch and stayed with us and helped out while Mommy packed. Sharlene was with us up until the minute we left the resort at 2:30pm to catch our plane at 6 pm.

We are all going to miss Sharlene and we hope that she will be here when we come back. We are coming back! Mommy promised. Daddy has to come to FDR and we want all of our family from England to come too.

We left Pebbles on time and Kiara fell asleep as soon as the transfer bus took off. I cat-napped a little. Montego Bay airport is new and very beautiful with lots of lovely shops. It was very busy and packed with people catching all kinds of planes. You have to do a lot of walking so you don't want to have to carry too much. A stroller is very usful in airports Nana says. We agree.

We were supposed to leave at 6pm. Guess what? CanJet was on "Jamaica Time". So what time did we leave??? Right. We left about 7pm, arriving in Toronto at 11pm. We said goodbye to Sonja who had been so much fun to travel with.

Nana had booked two rooms at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel right in Terminal 3. We were able to put our luggage on a trolley and go to our rooms without even stepping outside. The next morning we wheeled the trolley with our luggage still in place right back to check in at WestJet for a 9AM departure. The flight left right on time. But we miss being on Jamaica Time and we want to go back very soon.

Thanks for travelling along with us,

Gabriella, now 6 yrs old and Kiara, 3 and a bit.
