I didn't want to go home. I really didn’t want to go home! My holiday in Barbados had been my best holiday ever and I was sitting at the airport, waiting for my flight home, feeling very depressed. Why couldn’t I stay just one more day?
‘Passengers for Flight 20? to London, please board now,’ a voice came from the loudspeaker. Unhappily, I picked up my case and got on the plane behind my parents. Unbelievably, they were looking forward to getting back. Can you imagine that?
We sat in the plane, waiting to take off for about an hour. People were starting to whisper about the lengthy delay. Then we all heard the pilot’s voice: ‘Unfortunately, we have some engine trouble and we can't take off this afternoon,' he said. 'We are arranging overnight accommodation at the Tree Tops Hotel for all passengers.'
I couldn’t believe it. 'Yes!' I shouted loudly. My wlsh had come true. I had one more day and I was going to stay in the best hotel in the area!
