Thompson Holiday USA 08

Day 12

Monday 1st September 2008 7:35 PM

Well today we arrived at the Pacific Palms Resort, a beautiful hotel where we will be staying for the next four days.

The night before, we took a stroll through the grounds of the resort - too beautiful for a camera to capture. But as we walked around we were getting excited about the next four days.

On arrival, we settled in and chilled for a while then headed down for a night swim and Jacuzzi - Awesome! We pretty much had the whole pool and Jacuzzi to ourselves.

The Jacuzzi was so hot; it was like taking a hot bath whilst gazing up at the open skies.

Lisha says:

'Tonight was fun! The scenery was great and I loved swimming at nightime because there were hardly anyone in the pool and the view was amazing! I really enjoyed the Jacuzzi which was hot and steamy and looked over the LA city lights!'

Esther says:

'The view was nice when we went swimming. I loved the waterfalls and the swimming pool was huge. I could not swim in the deep end because the water was too deep for me. I really enjoyed swimming with my sister, Velisha and my mum and dad.'

'After swimming I really enjoyed running on the treadmill with my day. Dad allowed me to'

'We made the most of the night as we heard the pool would be closed the next day as there would be filming of a TV series - The Unit!' Says Steve.

In general, this was a great start to what was going to be a challenging night with Vel's accident!
