Today was an odd day; after waking up, we packed and then relaxed while waiting for the others to arrive. When they arrived, they inspected the house before allowing us to leave. We then took a taxi to the ferry dock. We asked the cab driver where a nice place to eat was when they removed our luggage, and he directed us to a gas station deli near a pizza shop and a bouncy house restaurant. When we've finished dining, we return to the ferry pier and wait for a while. When they started boarding, we got the best seats, which gave us a good view of the ocean. When we arrived in Utila, we waited for a man named Angel to come and pick us up. We had to make two journeys because there was so much luggage and we could only fit two persons with all of the luggage. Lorin and I did the first trip, and when we arrived, we had to wait beneath the house since people were still staying in the Airbnb. Finally, my dad Morgin arrived and we were able to go inside, but our driver, my dad, and Lorin had to go get groceries for us, so they didn't get to complete unpacking while we got to unpack and just chill for a little while.

Today was a good day; we began by packing because we needed to leave for Utilu. We slipped on our swimsuits and headed to the ocean after we had finished packing. They removed our things and we plunged into the sea as soon as we arrived. We went above the sea grass when they were in the water, and my father and I saw a gigantic fish.

Today was not as adventurous or thrilling as some of the others; instead, it was largely a relaxing day. We began by playing some games before getting ready to go snorkeling, but instead of just bringing a few small items, we brought electronics and other items so that we could spend the entire day at the beach. When we arrived, Morg and I went straight into the water and had a great time for about four hours. But then we were both exhausted and tried to do things on our phones but couldn't see anything, so we returned to the Airbnb. We did our own thing for a couple of hours until Lorin came and told us that we were going to go for dinner at Beachers, and I was excited because I love their burgers, so I got dressed and we all had an amazing night.

Today I had a quite fantastic day today, we needed to do these tests in the morning, so I had to do them around five minutes after I woke up. I gave Morgan the Chromebook after I did my part of the test, and she finished her tests while I played games. We were going snorkeling after that because it was a beautiful day and we needed to get our belongings organized. We went to the beach and snorkeled for at least 3 1/2 hours, but the parents became weary after a while, so me and Morgan continued to play in Ward while they sat down and watched us and enjoyed the view. When we were all exhausted, we went home, and while they were doing their thing, I watched TV for a couple of hours and enjoyed myself as much as I could. After a while, they told me that we were going to have dinner, when we were ready we headed to a bar and Grill next to the restaurant that we went to pretty frequently .When we finally sat down and looked at the menu, we realized it was rather expensive, so we got up and left without saying anything, leaving menus on the table. We wandered about until we discovered a restaurant that met all of our needs. The parents ordered ribs, Morgin ordered tacos, and I got a large pizza with bacon.

These past few days have been a thrilling journey, with monkeys, zip lines, and a lot of snorkeling, but I'm only going to write about my favorite things that we've done so far. The first one was on the second day and it was in the morning, we were walking the beach and I was getting really bored because we kept stopping and talking to people, but then towards the end of the beach the water was not as choppy and it was much clearer. We all put our stuff down, put on our masks, and jump in the ocean. Because of how clear it was when I wore the mask I could see far away. Second, there were the zip lines, which we did on the fourth day. Because it was so close. We walked all the way to the gate and then hopped on a long golf cart to the gift shop, where we payed to participate in the adventure. When the guides arrived, we boarded a shuttle vehicle and arrived a few minutes later. They assisted us in putting on our harnesses and instructed us on what to do. The first was the second slowest, so it wasn't as much fun, but it was still a lot of fun. Then, on the second one, one of the guides hooked me up next to him, and I did something similar to a superman move. Finally, on the fourth one, he did this new thing where it was kind of the same but he made me go upside down for a couple of seconds and then break me back up, which was the most exciting and worried me a little bit.
