Goodbye I waved, to my mother as I shut the car door. I had just turned 21 I month ago and I couldn't wait move out, not that I didn't love my family but I just I'm very independent and wanted to do my own thing.

My father had always read me these books that talked about a island getaway. and that's exactly where I was going, "Golden tip poco."

Golden tip poco was a lovely island/resort but you could also live there instead of just vacationing.

I had my friend Hanna drive me to the airport, so I was sitting in the passenger seat. "Are you ok Caylin?" She asked me as a tear rolled down my cheek. Yes, I responded while looking out the car window. it was just that I was very nervous and I was moving half way around the world. I wouldn't be able to wake up to my mom making pancakes, and picking on my little brother.

Oh how I loved picking on him, it was our thing, I simple you look ugly today meant I love you, to us.

There it was, the airport... I had just pulled out the last piece of luggage from the car when I heard a small sigh.

I turned around to see puffy cheeks and tears running down Hanna's face.

"Hannaaaa! don't cry!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry it's just I'm going to miss having someone to talk to. She said.....

(Hanna has been my best friend since kindergarten and I thought to myself, I'm moving away from everything I've ever loved and known...... why?.. And then i quickly snapped myself out of it. "NO! This is what I wanted" I told myself.)

I know, but we have our phones, I'll call you all the time. I'll come home for the holidays and any other time you need me. And besides you still have Eric. I said.

(Eric was Hanna's fiancé, they were perfect together. They were planning a wedding later that year.)

She nodded her head and we said our goodbyes, a few big hugs and I was on my way to start MY future.

"All boarding flight 15 please board the plane, the plane will be leaving in 10 minutes" I heard a rather tall but slender figured lady by the door to board the plane say.

I ran towards gate 12 and handed the miss my plane ticket, she checked It all out, then returning my ticket to me and said, "Have a nice flight miss."

I nodded and said thank you in agreement.

"Ahhhh here we are, seat 26 I said as I sat down."

I sat by a rather handsome gentleman whom was older than me, Id say maybe 30. "Names Drew" he said as he held out his hand for a handshake, I'm Caylin, I said while shaking his hand.

"So where you headin?" He asked

Golden Tip Poco..

"Oh!! Me too!" Drew said.

What hotel are you staying at?

Oh I'm not on vacation, I'm moving there, somewhere on the ocean front. I said.

"Oh, wow that sounds nice.. well maybe we can throw some parties and hang out some time when we get there, you look like you know how to have fun," while winking at me. He flirted.

(I hadn't been but in 2 relationships my whole life, I wasn't the player type. If I met a person who I cared for and they cared for me then I was content..)

Yeah I'm not really the partying type, or anything I'm just moving here to follow my Dreams.I said.

He looked at me as if I had just cursed at him, "we'll what kinda dreams could you have going to live in a place like Golden Tip Poco?" He said in a sarcastic tone.

"My DREAM......with a stern look on my face" Is just to live there, but as far as a career.... I want to be a writer." I said with a dazzy look on my face.

Ok, ok, ok he said, can't you take a joke??

"Yeeeassss..... its one of my many great qualities.. I jokingly said."

Drew smiled and then he plugged his ears with headphones and tried to go to sleep for the 8 hour flight..

I awoke to Drew saying "We've arrived" and the biggest smile ever ..

I had never been so excited to get out of someplace in my whole life. Now...we're finally here, I departed from the plane an made my way outside with Drew close behind. "Wow those seats don't have too much cushion in them do they?" I asked.

Drew shook his head in agreement and a slight chuckle.

I had a taxi pick me up and drew had already rented a car. Drew had asked me for my number earlier so we could later meet up.

My father was in the business of real estate and that's how I had found out about Golden Tip Poco. I had gotten my real estate license before I came, and I was working there for my father but also working to pay him back while living in a place I had always dreamed about. It was a great opportunity that i couldn't pass up.

Riding in the taxi to my new home I

took in everything as we drove by. This island looked so exotic. There were many hotels which I wasn't too fond of but, it was in fact a resort so, I should have expected it I guess.

"We're here" the taxi driver with a name tag that said "shane" on it said.

"Finally" I exclaimed.

I stepped out of the taxi, luggage in hand and the smell of sea salt and coconut filled the air.. It was so pleasant, it was exactly as I had pictured it.

My house was small but perfect for me, it had a white exterior with dark navy blue shudders and a black roof.

I already had people send my furniture over to the island and put in my house. Which wasn't much, a sofa, a couple of lamps, a bean bag, my bed, old small tv, and a old childhood bike.

I carried my luggage to my bedroom which was on the east side of the one story house.

Eager to see what I had been missing my whole life, I ran to the back door. "SHUSH!" was the sound the door made as I slid it to the side...

There it was....... The Most beautiful deep dark blue ocean I've ever seen, the waves crashed onto the sand and swooshed back, only to repeat the process. stepping onto the sand was heaven. It was a golden white color and just the right texture. It didn't make that annoying rubber squeaking sound when you walked on it either. Which was great because I never really liked that.

As I ran to the ocean I crashed my body against the waves. Clothes still on, the waves cradled me like a blanket, then I soon was hit with another wave which sent me down to the bottom scraping my body on the sand and hard shells beneath. It took the fun out of my little dream fantasy. But it didn't matter it was still perfect.
