Ms. Dora was very excited about her vacation that was coming up in just a week after the school year ended for summer. Finally Friday the 13th of June came, and another school year was finished. She said goodbye to all her fellow teachers and students knowing that by the end of the summer she would miss them but right now she was eager to get home and relax. For three months she wouldn’t have to worry about grading homework and tests, or chasing students around and making sure they had all their assignments turned in because they were too irresponsible to do that themselves. Ms. Dora was going on a one week vacation to Hawaii on her own; feeling just like a teenager again with all the adrenaline rushing through her body when the thought went through her mind.
As you all know, and for those of you who don’t Ms. Dora has twin boys; Costas and Andreas. She sent them off to camp somewhere in Switzerland that afternoon so now she wouldn’t have to worry about them getting lost or drowning while she was tanning or drinking her pina colada. As for her husband, unfortunately he had to work but they would all get together again soon and then they would have the chance to take a short vacation together before they had to go back to their daily routines.
Everything seemed in place as she put the last of her luggage in the car and took a quick shower just before she drove to the airport. Lucky for her she liked planes because the flight was going to be very long and she’d have to make three stops but that didn’t spoil her mood.
Finally she was boarding her flight and before she knew it she was there. She looked outside her window and saw the beautiful clear beaches of Hawaii waiting to greet her as she got out of the airplane. A taxi was waiting for her and she saw the tall, tanned young man waiting for her; in his hands he held a sign with her name written on it.
The hotel wasn’t far away from the airport. She stood speechless and stared at the beautiful place which would be her home for the next week. Suddenly she wished she would arrange to stay longer than just a week but anyway it was too late for that now, she would enjoy it while it lasted. The taxi driver took her luggage to the grand suit that was waiting for her and she followed him. The room was the most incredible thing she had ever seen. She felt a little jealous she didn’t have one just like it back at home.
As soon as she got settled she went out and lay by the pool to get that tan she was looking forward to while reading one of her favorite books. Later she was going to get a full spa treatment and after that she would go out to dinner. That was her daily routine for the next three days. Then for another two days she went diving and went on an educational tour around the caves of the area to see wildlife and learn how to be cautious about the different dangers.
Everything seemed like heaven though her vacation was soon about to finish. She didn’t want to return back to Cyprus just yet but there was nothing she could do. On her last day she went shopping and enjoyed the last of the breathtaking views and took pictures of almost everything. She couldn’t wait to tell her family and friends about what she had seen and experienced. This was one of the best vacations she ever went on in her life and she was sure she would return next year too. Maybe she would bring her family with her but she was for sure coming back!!
