abc of traveling (Amber)

Antigua and Barbuda was the destination for this turboprop plane. They didn’t need a large plane given it was a regional flight as she replied “off course it’s okay. It’s not a long flight either”. She figured the end of the flight would be as smooth as the check in here was.

They’d still have a passport check once they got there but hers was easy as she had a US passport. Mason’s new documents came from a newly founded nation so she’d explain that if she had too.

Knowing what Mason actually was Amber would take good care of her. Avery would have her hide if Mason ever became a lab rat somewhere in the world but frankly she doubted normals were smart enough to even realise she was more than a young woman. Also her first flight and perhaps first time of the island too.

“You’ll be fine on the flight. Taking off is a weird experience but after that you won’t have to worry” she replied to reassure Mason. “There’s usually no issues in the hotel complex but visitors are usually warned to be careful outside of that. Usually the same things that happen on our island so nothing we can’t handle”. If you could deal with life on Ashford isle it would take a lot to phase you.

Then they were lifting off and once levelled off the stewardesses were giving out drinks and snacks.

Mason had the right idea on how to live a life. She'd already done a lot in a short time and now she was going on a trip abroad. "You'll be alright Mason. Once we get to the hotel we'll know what tours are going on and can book what we want to go on" Amber replied and the short flight did seem really short. There was just about enough time to eat a snack sized salad and a drink a pepsi cola.

So once they landed and reclaimed their luggage it was off to the hotel. Even airport security and customs ran smoothly and the hotel bus took them there. Just looking out the windows told them this wasn't the ultramodern city they were used to. It felt quieter and not so developed. Once they were checking into their double room it did feel like home.

They were starting in St John’s, the capital city but they’d need a boat to get to the other islands. Hopefully that would be one of the tours on offer as this wasn’t the only island in the nation. “So what you want to do once we get unpacked?” Amber posed. They’d a bed each and a great view from their windows and while it would be active trip there’d hopefully be enough time to recharge.

So Mason had things to get but also wanted food. The latter they could do right here in hotel restaurant so she suggested “we could get into St John’s later and get the t-shirts you wanted. Food you can get here so do you want to get something in the restaurant?”

She wanted to see the city herself but was mindful that there would be the same risks going out here as there was at home. That was life all over.

Having taken a short morning flight they weren’t going to get jet lagged so what they were getting was effectively a late lunch. She didn’t even need to change from the cute sleeveless dress she’d arrived in. “Let’s do that then” she replied and once ready they were only a short bus ride to the city proper. The hotel was slightly out in the sticks.

Finding a restaurant wouldn’t be hard. Neither would t-shirts

Looking back to Mason there was plenty of options about t-shirts. “I’d suggest something that catches your eye. Local and cute works well” she replied as you’d want something you wouldn’t find back home.

The menu would speak for itself once they looked at it. “So do you want food or clothes first?”
