I was doing my homework and my parents were watching the news when the
phone rang. I had won a competition. The prize was a trip to Guadeloupe with a
group! The next day, on my way home from school, I borrowed a guidebook from
the library and then I went to the internet cafe to look online for a map. My flight
to Guadeloupe from Dublin was too early to catch a bus to the airport, so my dad
drove me. When I arrived in Pointe-d-Pitre, Guadeloupe's largest city, a taxi took
us to our hotel. It was raining and cloudy when I left Dublin but the sun was
shining in Pointe-d-Pitre. The others in the group were Spanish and German.
French is the language of Guadeloupe but none of us could speak it. So for the next

hotel in the city to a small island called Terre-de-Bas.
