He loves talking about all the animals, “The sheep and the donkeys, the geese and the…

Welcome To Paradise

That’s what you hear when you start your tour of Sandals Emerald Bay on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas…”Welcome to Paradise.” From my post last night, it took us going around our elbows and back again to get there, but it was majestic when we arrived.  The sun was shining brightly, it was…
