13-year-old Greg Hemingway’s journal
Day 42, June 22nd
This place is AMAZING!! I’ve been here almost six weeks and have done only a fraction of everything available. There are so many cool events everyday. Today was Florgan day! There are different versions of a triathlon for on the top of the mountain and on the beach. Whichever team gets all of their members to the living space first wins! I was on the beach team and the finish was so close that they had to slow the video camera down to frame by frame and still had a hard time deciding who the winner is. But in the end it was…the Beach team! We won by a diving finish .04 seconds ahead of the Mountain team. The Mountain team wasn’t mad though. It was extremely close and nobody ever seems to get very mad at each other here. It’s getting pretty late so that’s it for today. Tomorrow should be just as fun.
Day 43, June 23rd
Another awesome day! The food is always good here but today was “Eat the Best Day.” All the meals were amazing! Five courses of everything you could ever want and personalized to your likes and dislikes. I couldn’t be happier. The people are so nice and treat us so well. Everyone else seems to be having fun too. Well today was fantastic and I think it will be like that for a long time. 35-year-old Samantha Hemingway
Day 76, July 26th
My life has been so much better since I’ve moved here. Greg can just go off and have fun or take the monorail to school everyday. We still are very close but I am so much more relaxed with the spa and in much better shape with all the activities outdoors. Talk about a lot of choices! I’ve never been bored here and it’s been almost ten weeks! I’m enjoying myself more than any time in my life and will stay here until the day I die.
