my holiday

It was the place of my first "true" family holiday. The excitement would build up for weeks before my flight but its not until I board the plane when I realize how truly amazing this experience will be. To have all of us in the one beautiful place, wow!
I land at my first destination, the place I consider home, but this is not where the holiday starts, not at all. there's still another journey to partake.
as we arrived at the true destination, I gasp at the site. I had been somewhere like this before, Id seen the palm trees way above my height and I had felt the sun warm my body but never had I experienced such serenity. once we had settled in I started to wonder. I wanted to see what the beautiful place had to offer. the relaxed layed back feeling was infectious, and then the people made it magical. It was as if the whole place had been taken over by us, Aunties, Uncles and Cousins everywhere, and all for the one lovely lady. our grandma!
