Everyone relized they haven't seen Rodrick in awhile. They thought he was still in the water where the bannana boat crashed. They went back to it and Rodrick was still in the same place. He had severe sun poisoning. Greg's mom thought it would be a good idea if Greg went to go play tennis with the other kids. One kid recognized Greg because his family made the pool drain.

Greg went to see the resort's doctor too see if he was fine. The only thing wrong with him was being a little sea sick. Greg went to lay next to the pool to calm his stomach. While Manny was playing with a bucket; someone found a box jellyfish in the bucket.

Greg's biggest fear in swimming in the ocean was getting stung by a box jellyfish. He read in a book one time that the box jellyfish was the most venomous creature in the world. Greg's mom still wanted him to get in the ocean so they could take a family photo.

Greg had to watch Manny in the pool but when Greg layed down he lost track of him. Greg saw him in the middle of the pool splashing around. Greg thought Manny was in trouble, so Greg used a raft to save him. All the kids in the pool flipped it over and Greg relized Manny was never in trouble. His mom thought it would be a good idea if they all went on a cruise.

Greg's mom told evryone that she was going to go back to school because she is tired of doing nothing. She wasn't going to be home some nights so they had to take care of themselves. Rodrick tried to cook roast beef but he left the plastic wrap on the meat and it was shiny.

Greg's new math teacher isn't happy with her class because they stink. Everyone in her class has gym right before her class. She told the principal about the problem and now they have to shower after gym class. Greg didn't want to do it so he just wet his hair to make it look like he showered.

Greg had a chance to be on his local new channel when he was younger. Rowley and him both tried out for it but two little kids got to be on it instead. Greg starts to relize the older he gets, the less he is the star of the family. His brother Manny is the center of attention for everything now since he is the youngest.

The problem Greg has with trying out for the new spokesperson is his dad hates the ice cream commercials. He always writes the company a email about how the commercials get on his nerves. Greg tells his mom about the new spokesperson for the ice cream and she thought it was a great idea. Another problem Greg faces was she thought he was talking about Manny.

Greg remembers the time Rowley's mom got Rowley new shoes with laces and everytime they came untied, Greg had to tie them. Greg saw an advertisment on a ice cream company needing a spokesperson. Greg thought he would be a great person for it because he loved ice cream and the acting was easy.

Greg was happy he got one of the cool kids math book. He thought he would be reconized by everyone, but that didn't happen. Greg was kind of upset when he would go online and see everyone posting picture of them and their friends having fun. He decided to photoshop himself into pictures to make it seem like his life was intresting.

Greg is having trouble finding friends after Rowley and him had a fight. He sees Rowley in the yard with some kid named Brain.

Greg and Rodrick were left to care of Manny while their mom got a massage and their dad went to the gym. They thought it would be a good idea if they took Manny to the toddler area of the resort. When they got there, Rodrick left Greg by himself with Manny and had to watch him all day.

Greg and his family went to go see turtle eggs on the beach. It got dark very quick and when they were walking around Greg thought he stepped on a egg but it was a seashell. They watched the turtle eggs hatch and Manny took one while no one was looking.

When Greg and his family was eating at a bar in a pool, a monkey was there because that's where it lived. While they were eating, Manny somehow grabbed the remote to the TV and changed the channel to something he wanted to watch, No one at the bar was happy with this so Greg and his family had to leave.

Greg had to go find Rodrick so they go ride on a banana boat.

Greg was too excited about sharing a cabana with his family but he had to deal with it. While Greg's mom was putting sunscreen on Greg's back, he thought his dad wouldn't be happy because he is doing it by himself. Greg's dad wanted them to be able to do stuff on their own without them.

Greg was able to get rid of the spider with the help of one of the hotel waiters. After all the choas, Greg wanted to go outside to the beach. When Greg got to the beach, he was shocked to see how many people were on the beach.

There was a huge spider on Greg's flip flop. He didn't want to kill it because he thought hundreds of other spiders will come out of it. Greg decided to call Room Service for help.

They got something to eat. Greg's dad got sick because of something he ate. He was up all night in the bathroom and Greg had a hard time sleeping because of all the noise his dad was making. Greg felt uncomfortable because all the showers were outside. He got used to that and when he got out there was a huge spider on his flip flops.

When Greg and his family got to there resort, they started to unpack and Greg relized he grabbed the wrong suitcase. They went down to the resort store but the prices were way too expensive. They all changed and went down to the pool. When they got there, there was plenty of activities to do.

Greg was nervous because one of the pilots had to stetch and go to the bathroom. Since the pilot went to the bathroom, Greg decided to go as well. He tried to use the one in first class but the flight attendant cut him off. He stayed in the other bathroom for a good bit before he ran out because he thought the plane crashed. Greg returned to his seat where he fell asleep until they got off the plane.

Greg was not happy about where he was at on the plane. The people in front of him reclined their seats and he felt boxed in. He could recline his seat because he would be blocking the emergency row.

Their flight took off. Greg was very uncomfortable because he was scared or flying and the people next to him were feeding their baby. Greg started to get hungry but he relized all the snacks he packed are in his suitcase. The flight attendent did give him a bag of peanuts to hold him over.

Greg was excited that he got seat by himself. As the doors were closing, a couple ran in with a crying baby and they sat next to him. He asked if they wanted to switch seats so they could be next to each other, but they said no. Greg started to worry once the flight attendent showed a safety video.

They were in a hurry to board their flight. When they got there, the flight was delayed an hour because of the weather. Greg wanted a new pair of socks because his were wet when he stepped in a puddle of water. The airport shop didn't have anyso he went into the bathroom to dry them. He stuck his sock under the hand dryer but it flew out of his hand and into the toilet.

Greg and his family packed up for the trip. All of the roads were backed up with too many cars because it was Christmas Eve. When they made it to the airport to put their suitcases on the scale it was too heavy. The person at the counter wanted them to pay extra money because it. They took out some clothes and put it in other suitcases.

Greg's parents were getting about decorating their house for Christmas. While they were watching TV, a commecial came on about a resort they haven't been to since they were on their honeymoon. They thought It would be a great idea if they went there instead of having a Christmas.

Greg needed to finish his science fair project so he would go to summer school. He had everything finished except he had to type his report. He told his mom he was going to do it early in the morning, but he woke up at 8:10 and had to go to school in 20 minutes. When he went downstairs his mom typed it for him. Greg was so relieved that he finally turned in his project.
