Clay and I just got back from the Bahamas where we had the most wonderful, relaxing week. We had this awesome suite that overlooked the courtyard of this resort and just down from the courtyard was the beach. The place was awesome with a private beach and endless activities. In fact I have found my dream job. There was a guy who would walk around the beach setting up the next activity whether it was beach golf or BINGO or a waterballoon fight. (And by the way, Rum is the prize for all activities!)
We had a wonderful time and even did some snorkling. We spent a lot of time on the beach and just hanging out listening to some really bad Karaoke! We also go lucky with the weather because the week before we went was pouring rain and the week after is supposed to be rainy, but we had nothing but blue skies!
Our only real adventures were getting to and from the Bahamas. On the way there we ended up having an extra 2 hour layover in Dallas due to plane mechanical problems. We still could have made our connecting flight except when we got to Fort Lauderdale we had to circle the airport for an hour due to rain storms. We made it but we were 4 hours late by the time we got to Freeport. Then on the way back Clay had forgoten to bring his Green Card, we had his passport but Homeland Security wasn't going to let him in the country without his Green Card. Anyhow, we finally got a waiver from the port authority but it was going to cost us $267. We didn't really care we just wanted to go home at this point. Anyhow, they only accepted cash or credit card and at the end of the trip we didn't have that much cash on us so we tried to pay with credit card. We spent 20 minutes trying every imaginable way to get the credit card to work, but as often happens on the island, the internet connection to the banks was shut down and they couldn't get any machine in the airport to work. At this point we were holding up the plane so finally they waived the fee and let Clay go home. It was quite the ordeal!
But we had a wonderful trip! We're glad to be home, but I think I wil always miss my little piece of paradise by the beach!
