Kaylie's summer is going to be the best one yet. The tickets are booked, the room with a view is paid for, the routes on the new road map are marked in four highlighter colours, each for a different day, the translation book is packed and her best friend will rendezvous with her at the plaza on Thursday. Three weeks of exploration, sun, fun, food and sleep. She can't wait. She's always dreamed of visiting this exciting country and now it's going to happen. Finals are finished, graduation ceremonies completed, family fussing weeks behind her and now she's anticipating an adventure of a lifetime. Kaylie is in for an adventure all right, but not the kind she envisioned, not the kind she pasted diligently together on her dreamboard with clipped-out magazine photos of beaches, tanned men, mountains that ended in volcanoes, platters of exotic foods, and tropical drinks dripping with condensation that begged for a thirsty tongue. Her exotic vacation is, however, on someone else's dreamboard.
