NICARAGUA

Julie had just gotten home from her job as a preschool teacher at Paddington Preschool. She sat down, and looked at an article from The Denver Post about small islands off the coast of Nicaragua. Julie,  finished reading the article and said “We're going to go to Nicaragua this summer, and have a really nice time, as a family. And there will be no cell service so you'll be forced to spend time with us. I mean you Devon"

“Everybody ready to go?” My dad asked

“Yes, Father,” the girls answered. We made our way to the airport and boarded the plane to  Houston. When we arrived we headed to the airport Marriot. It was not very nice. When we woke up, we started a new journey to Nicaragua it took two airplanes and two small boats.

            We arrived at Farm Peace and Love, and we literally had to wade to shore with our suitcases tossed ashore. We arrived just before it was time to go to bed, there was no air conditioning. And mosquitos, yes, lots of mosquitos, mainly because the windows were always open. We woke up and wanted to shower, only to discover the showers were outdoors, once they showered, we went to the beach which would be our home for the next 5 days.  

On our fifth day of vacation on the islands, we traveled back to the big island to Casa Canada.  It was more of a resort and less roughing it, like Farm Peace and Love. That was nice; there was a big bed and an air conditioner, which was a big yay for them! As well as a fantastic pool.  This lasted for 4 days; our days were full of riding golf carts around the island. Then they took the journey back home.
