2 girls, 2 guys, 1 destination!

beginning the journey!

There i was, packing my bags to go on the best vacation ever....

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

At this moment I was a little worried, until I saw my best friend, Bethan jumping into my room, screaming loudly. I could see her bursting with excitement, as she ran through my room, tripping over my suitcase, face planting the wall. She was always clumsy. I can recall one time we were playing blind mans buff at roughly 3AM, then she tripped over the bed...

HOW DOES ONE DO THAT?!?!?!

... But we all just sat there pissing ourselves laughing, Bethan included.

I let her jump up on her own turf, luckily it only took about 2 minutes, as she laughed for a shorter period, TOTALLY NOT HER!! She would usually laugh for at least 10 minutes. Perhaps it was the excitement, or the fact she had been up all night drinking coffee, EW, and gulping down as many after eights as she could in 8 whole hours.

Anyway, back to the story, we were packing to travel the WHOLE world, I couldn't wait. This was our first time travelling without parents, we were celebrating my 17th birthday, Bethan was older by a few months, and we had been planning this holiday for a good 3 years. I remember on my 15th birthday we made a promise to save up as much money as we could so we could travel the world one day. And now is the day, just picturing the places we would be going, views we would be seeing, that was enough to make my heart race, I was so excited. And by the look on Bethan's face, I'm pretty sure she shared the same excitement.

Finally, I had my whole bag packed, or at least I was sure I had my whole bag packed, we had just left my dorm room and locked the door, then I remembered my boarding pass sitting on my bed. Once I had finally gotten everything together again, we left for the boat...
