Day One: Escape to Jamaica

Our first day together started at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. After spending our first month and a half of the course learning, researching, and of course - waiting, the day was finally here!

On the flight. The West Jet flight attendants were hilarious!

Together we boarded the plane, and after four and a half hours we landed in Montego Bay. It was dark, but we were excited to get off the plane, and check out our resort.

The resort is beautiful! Upon our arrival, we were offered cold towels to refresh our faces from travelling. We were also served a refreshing pink tropical punch that we enjoyed with our supper.

Our first supper together took place at a magnificent locally-made grand table where we were served chicken, rice and beans, and fresh salad.

After supper we decided to check out the pool. It was dark, so the sky was illuminated by the stars. Some of us were even lucky enough to see shooting stars. We swam together with the radio playing popular Jamaican hits from behind the bar. Some of us stayed up all night talking to the resort staff about Jamaica and listening to music.
