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 hot {and humid like the South}, but it was glorious.
They seriously have some of the most beautiful Bougainvillea I’ve ever seen. And it grows immensely!This is where we ate dinner the first night. Tidbits: Wear the OFF! provided in the room or else you’ll be eaten up by sand fleas….and, eat after the sun goes down…the flies like the food!
Sunrise the first morning. I woke up around 6:30 🙂 It was still 84 degrees out…
I almost forgot this one! It’s a collage photo from our night at the “French” restaurant…the food was AMAZING!!!
This is approximately where I got stuck on Monday on a paddle board…. We’d come way out {farther than we probably should have} and about the time we were ready to go back to shore, the winds/waves had shifted and I pretty much got pushed up against this cliff. It was awesome. Even more great was that apparently a shark {nurse} had been hanging out in this area. Thankfully {!!!} we didn’t see it, and we didn’t know it until a couple of days later. #holyheckhahahaha 😀
I don’t know what this is, but I would like one….the flowering vine. It is absolutely beautiful!
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
Since this is part 1 of a 3-part series, I have to take y’all back in time just a wee bit. About a month ago {give or take a week or two}, Andrew let me know that as part of his wine class, he was going to have to go to a vineyard in NC…
This has always been one of my favorite posts to write because it gives me the opportunity to go back and see all the things we have done in just a month! I often find myself thinking, “WOW! That seems like so long ago, and yet, it was just…two weeks ago.” ha. Okay so here…
For the most part, I blog as a way to remember things because I include a lot of details in my posts. Details, of course are the things that would first be forgotten so you could think of this as sort of my diary, but wide open for the world to read. {Your welcome} I also…
In yesterday’s post about our fabulous trip to the island of Great Exuma, Bahamas, I mentioned that today’s post would be about how Andrew and I save for our vacations. 1. We don’t go on vacation every year. We recognize that we need time away….from the laundry, the dishes, the craziness of life. Often I’ll…
Andrew and I are in the throes of trying to find the perfect beach vacation spot in Amelia Island. Especially since it snowed here this morning… Recall from last year, if you will, that we tried to go to Amelia Island…but were hijacked. Twice. We never got to go… This year, my family reunion is going to…
Y’all, I totally didn’t expect there to be a week between posts and I’m really sorry! The first post, if you want a re-cap, was of Epcot and Universal Studios. Here’s the next post on Days three {Wednesday} and four {Thursday} of our trip to Disney. Day three was Daddy’s visit to Gatorland {nothankyou} but I…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
