Summary:

Greg Heffley and his family planned to do something special

this year for winter. Greg suggested going out somewhere.
Then, in Mom's head came a fantastic idea to go out

somewhere to an island. I am not talking about any normal

island, I am talking about a tropical island. With the cold weather approaching and the
stress of the approaching holiday season, The Heffleys decided to escape to a tropical

island to take some much needed rest. But after they reached the island they saw many
other people also had the same idea. The whole island was crowded and there were no

spaces left. But the real problem was still approaching them. A few days living in

paradise wasn’t the best thing the Heflleys came to know. They went scuba diving and
when they came back, they found one of their family members was missing. Guess who?

Greg’s older brother Rodrick was missing. They went back there and saw Rodrick just
swimming around angrily waiting for them to come back. After reaching back to the

room, they found out that Rodrick had sun poisoning and Dad needed to bring many

popsicle sticks to cool him off. From eating some unknown food, Dad had a very bad
stomach ache for around 3 days. The Heffleys thought of going swimming in the pool but

later found out that there was a poisonous creature there in the bucket which could kill

people. After a few days, the Heffleys decided to go out for dinner with some formal
dresses and stuff but found out that their suitcase was exchanged with someone else's

at the airport. They couldn’t do anything so decided to wear those clothes and went for

dinner. But the Heffleys were caught by the family who were the owner of that suitcase.
The Heffleys tried to explain everything but the guard didn’t listen and demanded the

Heffleys to leave the Resort right then. But the Heffleys weren’t happy with the turn of
events. They had only a day left in their trip so they stayed there. They ate and did all the

stuff until the family that owned the suitcase found out they were still there and

complained about it to the guard. The guard and the Heffleys had a cops and robbers
chase all over the island in the golf cart.
