Once we had dry clothes on, we headed back to the resort for lunch at around 2:30pm. We ate at the Mexican restaurant named Arizona's TexMex. For the rest of the afternoon we went to the lazy river, the beach and just relaxed. We returned to the room at 6 to get ready for our last dinner at The Mill. The reservation was at 7:30. Once dinner was over, we all went to walk on the beach. At 10 we returned to our room and began to pack our bags since we are leaving tomorrow.

Day Seven: Friday May 22, 2015
We awoke very early, around 7am showered and got dressed. We headed to breakfast before 8. Afterwards, we left to go to Dolphin Cove, a place where you swim with dolphins and they have shows. Our scheduled time was 10 so we arrived at 9:45 to meet the trainers Donna and Mitch. They gave us wetsuits to put on and then we sat on the side of the dock while the Dolphins came into the cove. Their names were Kessie, Lola, Steve, and Gerald. We got in the water and the trainers gave us noodles to float on. We fed, and watched the Dolphins preform for us. Then, they taught us how to ride them! You don't ride on their backs, you hold onto their fins while they pull you. Shannon got to have them push her feet with their nose so she went up in the air. I looked like she was walking across the water! It was so fun to get to spend time with dolphins, we all had a blast!

Day Four: Tuesday May 19, 2015
Renee and Emily woke up around 7:30am, and since the others were still sound asleep, they decided to go for a walk on the beach. An hour or so later the pair returned to the room to meet up with the rest of the group. Of course Emma was still sleeping when they arrived so Shannon, Nicole, Emily and Renee headed to the buffet for breakfast. 20 minutes later, Emma comes racing in looking for us and tells us we're about to be late for our zip lining tour which was scheduled for 10:30am. Since there was about a 30 minute drive to we were supposed to leave at 9:45 and it was already 9:30! We raced back to our room to change into some more comfortable clothes, then hopped in our car and were on our way.
30 minutes later we arrived at _____. We met our guides, Pam and Leo. They taught us everything we needed to know before going out onto the course. Renee and Emma were the first two to go, and Emily followed. Nicole was about to go but got a little scared. Shannon went ahead and pushed her off the platform and away she went. Nicole ended up loving it! The five of us saw so many colorful birds and different types of monkeys. It was a really cool experience!
Around 12:30 we returned to the main building. We had lunch at the restaurant that was part of _____.
At about 1:30 we left to go to our next activity: white water rafting. 20 minutes later we arrived at _____. Henry was our guide for this activity. After he had explained what we needed to know, we changed into our bathing suits and got our life jackets. Then we got on a bus to take us to the top of the river. When we arrived at the top of the river, we helped carry the raft over to the water and climbed in. Then Henry pushed off land and down the river we went. It was a class IV course so they were a little rouglh, but that was the fun part! We all bad a blast

Day Three: Monday May 18, 2015
We woke up a little later than expected since we stayed out a little late the night before. We went to breakfast at the buffet around 10am. At 10:45am we returned to the room and changed into our bathing suits for today's activities. We had an 11:30 reservation to go scuba diving. The five of us walked to the beach about 15 minutes early to talk to our instructors Jojo and Timothy. They picked us up in the water with a boat which had a glass floor. This allowed us to see what was below us when sailing out deeper into the sea. About ten minutes in, we stopped and got all of our scuba diving gear on. After we were all suited up, we jumped into the water on the count of three and explored the sea life. We saw many new creatures such as blow fish and pretty classes of colorful fish. We also saw a coral reef, a starfish, and a stingray. There were many more, but too many to remember! Once we got tired and had a good look at everything, we got out of the water and back onto the boat. As we headed back towards the beach we ate our sandwiches that we had packed.
Once we arrived, we had enough energy back to go jet skiing like planned. There were five jet skis left, which was perfect for us! An hour later it was time to get ready for our dinner reservation at 7pm at Kimonos.We enjoyed this restaurant, because they cooked your food in front of you and also provided a show. Once dinner was over, we went to the main lobby where we saw people handing out coconut drinks so we grabbed one and hung out in the lobby for awhile. On our way back to the room, we walked through the gardens, which were lit up. By then it was close to 11pm so we headed back to our hotel room for the night.

Day Two: Sunday May 17th, 2015
On day two we woke up around 9am and went down to eat
breakfast at the resort and 9:30. After that we got our swimsuits on and went
down to the beach where we signed up for the windsurfing and parasailing. We
had some time to kill so we hung out on the beach and swam in the water. First
we went windsurfing which was a ton of fun but difficult at first. It took us a
few times but we eventually got the hang of it and had a blast. Next up was
parasailing which was at out hotel resort and a lot of fun as well. We saw a few jellyfish and a lot of
stingrays while up there, giving us a really nice view.
Our activities came to an end where then we walked back up to the resort and ate pizza and ice cream by the pool. Once again we went down to the beach and hung out there for the majority of the rest of the day. When we got tired we went back to our room where we showered and got ready for dinner at Arizona’s Mexican Cooking, followed by karaoke night at the resort. After a few long hours of fun our night came to an end where we went back up to the room, watched TV, and went to bed.

Day One: Saturday May 16, 2015
We woke up at 5:30am Saturday morning and all got ready to leave for the airport. After showering, eating a poptart or two, and getting dressed, we packed the car and left the house at 6:15am for Raleigh Durham International (RDU). 20 minutes later we arrived at the airport; after finally finding a parking spot, we went to check in our bags. We then went through security, by then we had 45 minutes until we had to board the plane. We then boarded our 8am flight to Miami.
We arrived in Miami a little after 10:15am. As we walked to our next gate, we stopped and looked in some shops. After buying lunch, we arrived at the gate for our 12:40 pm flight to Montego, Jamaica. About 30 minutes later we boarded our flight out of the United States.
When we got to Montego, we went through customs and retrieved our bags from baggage. We then walked to the car rental to pick up our Suzuki Grand Vitara to drive to Negril. Once we had checked out our car, we were finally on our way to the Beaches Resort!
An hour and a half later we arrived at our hotel for the week. We checked in and went to look at our room. Emma and Renee fell asleep, the other three went to go look at the beach. Once Emma and Renee woke up, we all started getting ready for dinner. We put on our nice dresses and began walking towards The Venelian for our 6:45 reservation. Once dinner had ended, we went back and changed into comfortable clothes. We then went for a walk on the beach and saw some crabs. Around 10 o/clock, we went back to the hotel after the long day and went to bed.
