Katani's Jamaican Holiday


Jamaican breezes are calling, and one hard-working BSG definitely deserves a getaway! But Katani’s Caribbean dream trip may not be all soft sand and warm surf. When Grandma Ruby learns that her family’s famous banana bread bakery is in serious danger, Katani’s business-savvy is put to the ultimate test.  Meanwhile, her super-cool cousin Olivia breaks the rules and puts Katani in a seriously sticky situation! Can Kgirl help save the bakery without betraying her new friend? A dance with the dolphins, a horseback ride on the beach, and a mysterious old lady add up to plenty of colorful island adventure for Katani and her family!

Guess what? I'm going to Jamaica in November! My Dad has to go there for business trips, and that will be his last one, and we get to go with him! November is hurricane season for Jamaica, but they've never actually had one, and it doesn't cost as much to go to Jamaica during hurricane season!

Hey Katani,

If you don't know how to swim, would it still be easy to swim with the dolphins? It's like my life dream!

Also, have any design tips, esp. for international style? Thanks!
-Beta141♫♥♫

You should def check with the dolphin trainers about that. Olivia and I were wearing life jackets the whole time, but it might be kind of hard to do if you can't really swim.

Well, I'm sort of Jamaican. Part of Grandma Ruby's family is Jamaican, which means part of my family is Jamaican, but I had never been there until this trip! We don't eat very much Jamaican food at my house, so it was really cool and different for me to try it while I was there.

Hey Katani!

How is the weather in Boston? Different from Jamaicas, huh?

I am doing horse back riding still and can jump a meter, how high do you jump?

Yep, Boston is way chillier than Jamaica, but now that's it's almost summer things are warming up. I definitely can't jump a meter! That's awesome. I'm still on lower jumps -- like ones I can practically walk over myself!
