Vacation in Hell or Heaven?

Bill and I returned from our trip to Nassau, Bahamas last night. We both had mixed emotions about our week long vacation. Upon our arrival at the Breezes Resort, we were greeted and escorted to our room on the 4th floor which looked down on the two pools and jacuzzi. A band was playing and students from every college on the Eastern seaboard were drinking cocktails and shouting to one another. Realizing that we were hungry, we went to the buffet dinner and left our luggage unopened. Exhausted from having traveled all day, we went to bed early. We soon realized that students don't sleep at night! Kids were shouting, getting sick, phoning their friends and slamming doors. I began praying, and the next morning I talked to the front desk in my kindest voice. A couple in their late thirties was checking out and overheard my conversation. They had a room on the 8th floor overlooking the ocean which had been very quiet. By the end of the morning we had been upgraded! Thank you, God!

The beach had beautiful white sand that looked like sugar. While sitting in my lounge chair, I realized that there were two things I had forgotten .......to get a boob job, and pack my g-string bikini. Oh well! My favorite memories of this formerly British island are riding in a horse and buggy on a tour of the city, going to the botanical gardens and watching the flamingo show, touring the Atlantis Hotel and Casino, enjoying the Pirate adventure, walking the beach, and eating all my meals at the beautiful garden buffet. We really enjoyed the fresh fruit, vegetables and variety of fish. They had my favorites - red snapper and tilapia. They also served angel food cake with warm lemon sauce.

I will post some pictures in the near future.
