On the second
day of our trip, which was our first full day at the resort, we had a fun day
planned ahead for us. The plan was to walk down to the beach and do water
activities with one of the resorts workers (inclusive). Everybody slept in
because of the long trip we had yesterday, so we finally headed down to the
lobby to eat breakfast at 11:00. The breakfast buffet was still up and
running, so we all got a variety of food such as pancakes, cereal, muffins, and
cinnamon rolls. We sat at our table for about a half an hour after clearing our
plates to rest our stomachs and spare time before our activities reservations
for 12:30. When
we arrived on the beach, we saw our guide named Keaton preparing all of the equipment such as the boats
flags, jet skis, the ropes, and the boat itself. He asked us what we would like
to do first, and we all agreed to go wake boarding first. Emily went first,
followed by Shannon. They both got up on their first try and had a blast with
it. Next up was Nicole, who was scared, so Keaton was nice enough to hook up two boards at once to
the boat. Renee went with Nicole. It took them a couple tries to get up, but
they finally got the hang of it. They also enjoyed wake boarding. Last,
was Emma. She hopped right out into the water and was so excited that she
didn't follow any of the tips Keaton gave her, so she fell face first into the water
on the first time! We all got a laugh at that. She gave in to following
directions eventually and got up on the board and cruised around for a bit. It
was nice to see the beauty of the bright blue Jamaican water while cruising
around on top of it. After everyone had taken a turn, we went tubing next.
Emily, Renee, and Shannon all went together first, and then Nicole and Emma.
After this we switched it up so we could all get a share to go with everyone.
After some fun wipe outs and jerks around, we moved on to the next
activity! Next up was jet skiing! We had three jet
skis to use. One person would always be on their own, and
the other two jet skis had two people on them. We took turns
of partners, and jet skis. We liked to go in circles a
bunch of times which we called “donuts”, creating waves in
the form of a circle and then going over them! After speeding
around the ocean, we were begging to get tired so we went parasailing. Parasailing gave us all a nice breeze and a good chance to
really examine the beautiful place we were. After
finishing up and putting all equipment away, we went up to the resort and ate
some inclusive/unlimited pizza and ice cream cones while sitting by the
pool. When we finished we all went up to the rooms and
showered, relaxed, and got ready for dinner. We ate at the
Mexican restaurant in the resort called Arizona’s Mexican Cooking, followed by karaoke night at the resort.
After a few long hours of fun our night came to an end where we went back up to
the room, watched TV, and went to bed.
