Chapter 2839 My Daughter's Friends: Too Hot To Resist:>Ep3
- The flight itself was fine; I sat in the middle seat between Alex and Macy, while Rachel, Cari, and Jasmine took the row in front of us. Most of the time I dozed off, but I did have a good conversation with Macy about Dean Koontz at one point. I was surprised she'd read him; besides being an older author, his books carried mature themes beyond what I would have expected an eighteen-year-old girl to enjoy. Her favorite book was The Taking, which was an extra surprise. It was the only book I've ever read that had spooked me so much that I had to put it down. In my defense, I was alone in the house and the power went out during an incredibly suspenseful part of the story. But regardless, I gained a new respect for Macy.
- Once we landed in Jamaica that afternoon, we gathered our luggage and made our way outside. I was immediately struck by overwhelming brightness and heat. I knew Jamaica was a tropical island, but it was quite the contrast to the dark and cool airplane. It took me a second to adjust.
- After some searching, we found the resort shuttle and boarded it. Our driver was an exceptionally cheerful and pleasant Jamaican man. He loved regaling us with stories about Jamaica's history and culture, which I found fascinating. Among other facts, he explained that while English was the primary language in Jamaica, they had developed their own unique dialect. 'Ya, mon' wasn't just a stereotype; it was a legitimate phrase used with the same frequency that a simple 'yes' was used back in the States. Their version of 'no' sounded like 'nee-ee'. Kind of like 'nuh-uh' but with an e-sound instead of a u-sound.
