The plane was small, only about a 20 seater.  It had propellers that filled the plane with an annoying drone. The pilot said we would soon be at our destination. He said it was 11:45 am and it was a clear sunny day.

Finally, I was free, away from the everlasting stress of the office and the city. Relaxation for two weeks, not a worry on my mind, except that old plane.

When I got to his car I was surprised to find it was a Mercedes Benz, and a nice one too. Compared to all the other cars I could see it was by far the best I had seen.

About 15 minutes later we arrived at my hotel. It was set out in little villas, set in groups of five in a circle, it looked very nice.
