When (4) they were arriving at the airport, they hailed a taxi. The taxi driver strapped the suitcases to the

top of the car and sped off towards the resort. Along the way, the taxi driver swerved (5) to avoid hit a cat on

the road. This caused (6) Carla' suitcase to fly off the car and crash in the road. Her clothes, shoes, and

personal items (7) had flown everywhere. She yelled (8) anger at the driver to stop immediately. Danny and

Carla rushed out of the cab to gather her belongings. Once they collected everything they (9) can find, they

started again for the resort. When they finally arrived, the driver charged them for the time spent collecting

the week. (12) "Its a popular week for tourists, sir," she replied. Nothing (13) could be done.

Danny, (14) that was trying to stay positive, told Carla not to worry. As long as they kept the windows open,

the smell of cigarettes would not be (15) to much of a bother. The next day, they (16) waked up early to fish

umbrella. Then, they rented a boat to fish. Carla caught only one fish, but Danny (18) catched several

fishes. When they got back, they took a nap on the beach. They finally felt peaceful.

A few minutes later, a large family with six kids took a space right next to them. The kids were loud. Some

of the kids were arguing, while some ran around squealing in delight. Danny and Carla were unable to

sleep, so Danny suggested they (19) went for a walk together. Not paying attention to where they were

walking, Carla suddenly jumped up and screamed in agony. She had stepped on a jellyfish and (20) had got

stung. She was in pain and couldn't walk, so Danny (21) had carried her all the way back to the room.

Back (22) into the room, Danny (23) realizing they had left their things at the beach. Just as he was about to

get them, it started to (24) poor. Danny hoped the umbrella would keep their things dry, but the wind (25)

was knocked the umbrella over and everything (26) were soaked. Their books, phones, and wallet (27) was

ruinned. To make matters worse, the rain didn't stop.

Two days (28) went by. They had to stay in their smelly room, Carla was still in pain, and Danny was in a

bad mood. Needless to say, they (29) gone home early. They thought they might be able to get their money

back from the travel agent, but that was also (30) unsuccessfull.
