I had always thought that it would be a really exoctic place to visit and I felt like I needed a break from all of this chaos here. I just need to get away from everything. So, the next morning I booked my flight to Jamaica. The sound of the wheels on my suitcase ringed in my ears. I can’t believe I’m finally getting to go. It seems like it was forever…
