As your family stand on the boardwalk, there comes the sound of very large, heavy footfalls on the planks and a curious creature lumbers into view. It roughly resembles an elephant in shape, if a little shorter and wider and with blunt, bony nodules adorning its sides. It moves slowly towards you, wavig its trunk jovially. The twins wave back excitedly. "Welcome to Transformation Land!" it trumpets. "Would you like a hand with your bags? Or should I say, a "trunk" with your trunks," it laughs.
"That's very thoughtful," mum trills as the creature lifts the bags and hooks each one on the bony outcroppings of its body.
"We aim to please. No request is too big or too small at Transformation Land. Would the little ones like a ride to the hotel?" It inquires, its huge flappy ears twitching at the twins' cry of "yeeeees!" "And the parents too?" it inquires politely, gesturing ever so slightly to dad, who wobbles a little uncertainly. he'd hit the free bar rather hard, determined to get his money's worth in cocktails.
Together the twins and your parents are assisted onto the elephant-thing's back, and it begins to trundle away. "Wait, we have to walk?"
"Sorry, kids, no room," mum calls back. "You'll just have to meet us at the hotel. Have fun! Twins, don't pull the nice elephant-man's ears!"
You pull the welcome pack out of your pocket. It contains the details of the hotel you're staying at, the electronic room card, and three gold change-tokens, the currency used on the island to request most transformations or a ferry to one of the other islands in the archipelago that caters to particular tastes. It occurs to you that you could easily slip away from your family for a while - heck, they wouldnt even be able to find or recognise you if you picked the right transformation. You'd had a desire to visifJurassic Island, until mum shot it down for being too dangerous. This might be your chance.
