S we stepped onto the boat, that nostalgic smell filled heart with happiness. For the next 7 days, this would be my home away fr
om home. Every summer, my family and I take a week-long vacation by cruising to different islands in the Caribbean, and on this trip, we sailed to countries like Mexico and Honduras. We had never been to these places before, so I was ecstatic! There is nothing quite like sun bathing by one of the many pools and sipping on a Shirley Temple in the middle of the wide-open ocean. When we received the "all clear", we raced down the hall to find our room. My brother and I swung open the door and dove onto our bed of choice. We always acted like it was a big decision, even though the beds were exactly the same. After the most important decision was behind us, I did just as I always do and walked out onto the balcony to breathe in the ocean's salty air. The ocean brings me to a place of calm; all of my worries disappear, and I feel at peace. I sat there for a while to take it all in. I thought about what the next 7 days would bring, and how I couldn't wait to make memories and go on adventures with my family. Just as I drifted off into a daydream, the dreaded alarm for the muster drill radiated through the speakers.
"Here we go!" my mom exclaimed.
"Oh man! I was just starting to drift off into my happy place. Do we have to go?" I whined back to my mom.
