The next morning, the two boys wake up to find that they're on their way to a tropical island. They're worried that the bug aboard the ship that's bringing them to the island is strong enough to keep them from touching the ship's patient. They decide to let the patient swim in the water behind the ship, and then they'll go to the hotel to get their luggage. The two boys are psyched to be away from home for a few days. They plan to go swimming, play in the ocean, and have a good time.
