Hello friends of steemit, today I wanted to share with you my experience on the island of Margarita, Venezuela. Where I was traveling with my two loves.

The idea of leaving trip arose for the birthday of my wife @carlas10, which fulfilled years on Thursday of last week. Really it was very happy to go to Margarita, especially because it has never been mounted on a plane, although he had gone to Margarita by ferry. Everything we plan through a travel agency called Tio ven, which offered us for the moment a good all inclusive package, to go to Margarita and stay in the Hotel Portofino located to the North of the island.

We stopped very early, eager to go to the International Airport of Maiquetia, the Journey was without any problem, we arrived two hours before the flight to check in and leave our luggage. When you get to the waiting room we sat in a few seats, close to the area of the aircraft, and we sat there because our son Sebastian, loves to watch them. The flight had no delay, even left half an hour before the scheduled time, that it was at 2:30 in the afternoon (Time Venezuela).

On the plane

Already mounted on the plane, I could not stop looking at the face of happiness that had my spouse, it was wonderful to see her as she was enjoying that first-time experience for her. In a flight of approximately of 35 minutes, where she wouldn't look at the immense sea through the windows of the plane, in the 35-minute flight lasted, she stopped smiling, wasn't very happy and me happier to be able to provide you with the opportunity to travel by plane. Already with those smiles of gratitude, I felt very happy.

We arrived at Margarita eager to get to the hotel, where we were going to stay until Sunday, July 9, but we had some drawbacks. The truck's travel agent that we would move to the hotel, was not at the airport, because there was a lock on the roads by the opposition in my country, in protest. Therefore, we had to grab a taxi from the airport to let us near the lock, and then take another taxi to take us finally to the hotel, was an experience quite warm, because when the taxi dropped us off, we had to go to foot the lock with suitcases and baby, was quite hard because we had to wait for approximately ten minutes under the intense heat of the island.

In the first taxi.

Waiting for a taxi to take us to the hotel, under incessant sun.

After this short time, but it appears that it had spent more, by the unbearable heat, we arrived at the Hotel Portofino, that welcomed us with quite kindness, we checked in and got our room very nice and quite comfortable. The first day we could not do much, since we arrived a little late, but if you take some photos that I would like to share with all of you.
