[January 16th, 2019 Wednesday]
[Belize, 8:00am-5:00pm]
[7:30AM]
Bailee’s POV.
We got up pretty early that morning because Jana bought another activity that we had to meet them at 9am. It was already 7:30am and each one of us got up. We were running a little late. So i went to the bathroom to hurryingly got ready. I wore this yellow loose t-shirt, jdark ripped jean shorts, with some sandals. Then it was Jana’s turn. She went for a rainbow inspired look. She wore a white t-shirt with rainbow stripes in the middle, blue jean shorts with rainbow stripes on the back pockets, and her white sneakers. It was very cute on her. Caroline was next. She wore a white loose tank top with a frappuccino on it, light washed jean shorts, with black sandals. And lastly, it was Payton’s turn. She took a little longer than us. She wore a black and white tank top, dark blue jean shorts, and her black and white converse sneakers.
We all wore our bathing suits underneath our clothes because Jana told us to before we left. Once we got dressed, we made it to the breakfast buffet. Right when we were finished, we ran out of the cruise ship and towards the meeting spot but when we got there, we were already too late. They had already taken off.
[9:00AM]
So Jana went to look for someone who can help us. She met this guy named John who actually turns out to be the manager of the place where we were going.
“We just missed the bus to the cave tubing. Can you possibly help us get to the headquarters?” Jana says & asks John.
John asks, “did you book with Butts Up Cave tubing?”
Jana says, “yes, for four people.”
“I’m actually the manager of Butts Up Cave tubing. I can help you guys today.” John says.
“Thank you so much”, Jana smiles & says.
John says, “we can ride in the company car, let's go.”
Payton’s POV.
We followed John to the company car and he drove us to the site which was 30 minutes long. On the way there, John asked us some questions about our lives. Jana sat in the passenger seat while the three of us sat in the back.
John asks, “is there anything you guys like to see in Belize?”
“We were hoping to do a little sightseeing of the town here but with the activities we’re doing, i don't think we have time.” Bailee says in the back seat.
“I’d be happy to take you guys around Belize after the cave tubing”, John says while driving.
Payton asks, “would that be a lot for you since its not part of the activity?”
John says, “not at all. It’s our companies job to make the customers satisfied with their experience here in Belize.”
“Okay then”, Caroline says excitedly.
“Let’s do introductions of each other”, John asks curiously.
Jana says, “my name is Jana. i'm a teacher and principal for a private academy in LA. i'm currently opening up my own academy there.”
John says & asks, “that's great. Are you married?”
“I’m engaged and getting married next year”, Jana smiles & says.
“Wow, congratulations”, John says.
John asks, “and what you girls in the back?”
Caroline says, “im Caroline. i’m an animation manager for Disney.”
“Animation? Is that like drawing?” John asks not knowing what it is.
“Yes. i draw cartoons for movies, Disney especially.” Caroline smiles & says.
John says, “wow, that's impressive. You must been really talented to do that.”
Caroline says, “i've done it for so long and i really love what i do so yeah.”
“Married or no?” John asks.
“I'm getting married next week. We’re actually here this week for my bachelorette vacation and party”, Caroline says.
John asks Payton & Bailee, “and what about you two?”
Payton says, “i’m Payton. i’m a magazine advertisement manager. I advertise fashion magazines for companies in LA. And i am married already.”
“How about you?” John asks Bailee.
“My name is Bailee. I’m a famous painter and i own an art gallery that was my grandmothers in New York City.” Bailee smiles & says.
John asks, “since the three of you live in LA and one live in NYC, how do you know each other?”
Payton says, “we went to high school together in LA for all 4 years.”
“So you have all known each other for quite some time now”, John says.
“15 years and counting”, Bailee says.
John says, “wow. A sisterhood that never breaks apart.”
Payton says, “we like to keep this going no matter where we are in the world.”
“That's very good to keep your friends close”, John says.
John pulled up to the site where there were so many trees and jungle around. We parked at the parking space and left our bags in the car. We just took our cell phones for photos and that was it. Then we walked up the hill with the tubes on our backs. Once we got up to the cave, we saw everyone who were on the bus there cave tubing as well. We put on our helmets with the lights on it and sat on the tube. John lead us into the cave on our tubes in a line together. When doing so, we took pictures as a group too.
After the cave tubing, we took our tubes back down the hill and towards the car. Then John drove us all around the poor side of Belize. While we were watching other people on the streets and selling stuff to keep their families alive, we felt blessed of what we had in life and the jobs we have now. These families were struggling to get by and helping their families. Right after that, John drove us to the famous Belize sign near the river. It was big letters spelled ‘Belize’ in colorful letters.
Once we were done taking pictures at the Belize letters together, John drove us back to the cruise meeting site where we met that morning. We decided to do something in return for John so we told him to take us to his favorite restaurant in town and we’ll pay for his meal. So we spent an hour talking and eating delicious Belize food. It was so delicious and nothing we can find in the states.
