?Mexico? Wow!? I thought as my parents informed my 14 year old sister and I as to where we were going. I was 18 at the time and had never traveled anywhere outside of the United States. I pictured these amazing beaches and daydreamed about meeting a cute guy, not pausing to even think about the fact that if I did meet someone, they would probably live a million miles away. And who knew what my mom and dad were going to adventure into once we arrived there?they always like to have something planned for each day, this doesn't bother me too much because our vacations usually end up pretty interesting.

My dad has already begun to come up with some things we must do no matter what…”I've been reading up about deep-sea fishing, you go out in the middle of the ocean all day and…” My sister and I have already made up our minds about this little idea, as we roll our eyes my mom nudges us, “Dad really wants to do this…don't ruin it for him, you know if he thinks you guys don't want to go, then we won't go and this is something he has been wanting to do for a long time.” My sister and I agree that we will let him have his fun too, it's not easy living with three other women, so we put on a happy face and act interested.

Months go by and the departure day has finally arrived. My sister and I feel confident that the trip is going to be awesome, we have both saved up what seems to us like a lot of money and are readily prepared for whatever awaits us. As we get off the plane I feel as if someone has thrown a damp blanket on me, “Will I be able to take this? This is annoying…“ I think to myself. Right away I realize that my tee-shirt is just simply not going to do…it is sticking to my body like paint, as soon as we get to our hotel I'm changing into a tank top and my shortest shorts. As we arrive at our hotel I am already contemplating what the heck I am going to do with my hair! It is frizzing and going flat, a bad recipe for finding any mildly cute boy. My family is excited because the first night we are going to be there, my aunt Jacki and cousin Keith are also going to be there! It will be there last night in Puerto Vallarta, so we decide to all meet up and have dinner.
