Finally made it to the dentist.

Fill up before clean up.
Before the cleaning, just in case.
Today I went to the dentist. I saw my neighbor, she was the hygienist. The first thing she did was took x-rays. Afterwards she cleaned my teeth , she did an awesome job. Some of it hurt a little but I was fine. I love that my mom and dad watched my teeth get cleaned. They took pictures, I was not scared at all. The hygienist thought she hurt my gum but she didn't. I would definitely let her clean my teeth again!
Some of her patients go to my school. I think they feel the same way that I do.

When the dentist came in to look at my teeth and look at my x-ray to give us advice I found out that he graduated from Queen's College which is my school. I think he behaved well in class because he looks smart especially with the glasses. When he came in he looked friendly. Not scary at all.
Be happy enjoy a smile.
Happy about this visit.

He said he had to pull up the one with a cavity. Others had to get filled in. Then I have to have better habits brushing. We stopped to take some photos.


Thank you Dr. Munroe and Ms. Sturrup.

Trip to daddy's homeland: Nassau to Guyana. Pt. 1


Guyana here we come.
Timehri, Stabroek, koker, Linden, channa, roti. These are just a few words I hear when my father speaks about his country. So it was an exciting time for me when the day finally came for us to travel to Guyana. Our trip began around 4 am. My sleeping time, but I didn't mind at all this time. We got to the airport in time, but had to wait for quite a while in the line. Then my daddy tried to talk to the supervisor because our flight time was closing in and she refused to speak to him. Our trip had three legs, Nassau to Miami, Miami to Trinidad and finally Trinidad to Guyana. Let me get right to it, we missed our flight to Miami. All simply because the supervisor didn't check us in, then she went on to put us on a Ft. Lauderdale flight. No remorse and blamed us for it all. We had to get to Miami on our own. Thank God for family, my cousin who lives in the Lauderdale area got us at the airport and drove us to Miami. By this time our connecting flight was on its way to Trinidad. I was hungry, tired and frustrated. My daddy probably was also but he kept going pushing four suitcases through what seemed like all of the airport. Mommy was frustrated and tired also. The folks at Miami whilst wondering why we were put on a Ft. Lauderdale flight tried to get us on a flight to Trinidad but that would have been difficult for us so they finally settled with putting us up for the night. They gave us meal vouchers also. I didn't care where the hotel was, once it had a comfortable bed and a tub...maybe even just the bed. The hotel shuttle took us there, it was called Le Chateau Bleau in Coral Gables, Miami. The bed was very comfortable and that's all I remember of that night, not even what I had for dinner. I prayed that the next day would be better. We all slept late since our checking in time was 1 pm. Some more cousins came by to check up on us. I had fun even though it was a short visit.
Our flight getting ready to board bound for Guyana.
We got to the airport early to make sure nothing unusual happened again. Checked in with the airline...Caribbean Airline, of course my first time with them. We had enough time so we went over to say thank you to the good folks who made sure we were alright. All was well to this point. TSA security checks had long lines. It was a slow process but we finally made it through with no worries. We boarded when they made the first call since am still in the category of 'passengers travelling with young children' even if that didn't work, my mom chose seats closer to the front of the aircraft. My excitement was building even more. The flight was very pleasant, they gave us earphones, blankets drinks and what I liked the most was lunch, I was impressed. I'm not a big eater but by this time I was hungry and I had to taste the food, it was quite good for a makeshift restaurant 22,000 ft above the earth. My mommy had all of hers, washed it down with cranberry juice and went back to sleep shortly thereafter. My daddy kept my company. We played all kinds of games on my Kindle, he might have even been bored but didn't show it at all. We stopped over in Trinidad for a bit before continuing. The captain's voice eventually told us that we were approaching Cheddi Jagan International Airport, in Guyana and I prepared for the landing, it wasn't very smooth, in fact it felt like we dropped the last 10 feet but I was happy to finally land. I was in Guyana, it was night but we were finally there. Immigration scrutinized my daddy'd documents, not even our's but it wasn't too long. Baggage collection and clearance was fast since we went to the one person that was doing nothing else. All the taxis were yellow. We inquired about who was going where and loaded all the luggage and was on our way. Mommy had a scare almost right away when the driver started driving on the opposite side trying to overtake and was only a few feet from the vehicle in front. Daddy told her not to worry about it. We took a bit over 20 minutes to get to the hotel, the Pegasus. My uncles and more cousins came to greet us and to make sure we were well. The language is English, but it sounded a bit different, I had to listen carefully. The desk clerk sounded even more like she was speaking a different language, I really had to listen to her, my daddy's English is easier to understand, I had to adjust quickly. The hotel room was pretty small but we were family so we're accustomed to sharing. The view was lighted by the moon over the ocean with waves splashing. It was past bed time but I was on vacation so some TV time wasn't gonna hurt. Sleep came naturally some time later in the night. I'll leave this as the first part and continue my trip once I get some rest after all the flying. Peace.

One of my new hobbies.

Over the past years my daddy has allowed me to use what he considers one of his valuable toys - his Nikon DSLR camera.

My mommy gave it to him as a Christmas present when I was much younger.

I enjoy using it because it takes very clear pictures and I can zoom in to tiny parts of the 'subject' as he calls it. He showed me how to focus by turning the lenses to get a better picture. Now I think I use it more than he does. Taking photographs is exciting. Everyday things seem to get a new life from the lenses. They look very different sometimes.

I have been taking photos of everything from grass and flowers to unusual rocks to clouds and when my aunt, Grammy or mommy is cooking the vegetables and ingredients become the subject. The supermarket is a good place to take photos also, some folks stop to see if I really can take a picture with such a big camera. Here are just two examples:

Supermarket quick clicks

If ever your daddy lends you his camera and you're visiting the supermarket, the produce section is a great place to start. Have fun and enjoy your new hobby.

Our flight is on Sky Bahamas leaving Nassau at 5:45 pm. I hope it's on time because I'm excited to get to Exuma. I want to go to the beach every day.

I hope to enjoy as much of it as possible, and if you haven't been there yet then you should start planning today.
