Now that she has passed her evalution of probation and become part of the company officially, the company offers her a week off.
Her father happened to have the same week off, so they decided to go to Hawaii for a week.
However, they didn't arrange this trip early enough, so her brother who just started his summer vacation has to run ti travel agent to fetch the tickets.
Mother and Stella stay home and do the packing. Father is busy with something else we don't know. But one thing is for sure that they will enjoy their holiday on the beautifull Hawaiian beach.

現在是暑假, 雖然史黛拉部在是學生, 她仍然想要享受放假的感覺。既然她已經通過實習的評鑑, 且正式成為公司的一份子, 公司給他一個星期的假期。她爸爸碰巧也在同一個禮拜放假，所以她們決定去夏威夷一星期。然而她們沒有及早安排行程，所以她剛放暑假的弟弟，必須跑到旅行社去拿機票；媽媽還有史黛拉待在家裡做打包的工作；爸爸忙著一些我們不知道的事情。但是以一件事是確定的，那就是 :  她們會在美麗的夏威夷海灘享受她們的假期。
