We packed our bags last night, for we had no time left to pack before the trip.
We packed a swimming suit, flip flops, and we brought a light jacket.
Tammy, nor Ann remembered to pack the beach towels.
Luckily the cruise ship had extra towels, but Tammy and Ann were not to crazy of the idea to use the towels from the ship.
Tammy was hoping that the ship would dock so she could go to the mall, or she could find a small store to buy a new beach towel.
When the cruise ship docked Tammy and Ann went rushing to the stores for new beach towels, yet the stores were sold out of beach towels.
Tammy and Ann ran to the cruise ship unfortunately the ship was gone, so they had to rent a jet ski to catch the ship.
