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!!!
Still playing catch-up for the Blogtember Challenge! Friday’s post-prompt was: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? Why? This one was easy for me. There’s one place I have just been craving to visit and hope to in 2020… Italy. More specifically, the countryside. The vineyards. The places less traveled….
Yesterday was probably THE craziest travel day I have EVER experienced…ever. Who knew flying from Columbia, SC to Kansas City, MO would be such a crazy adventure?! It’s so unreal…even now, looking back. My adventure began in Columbia just before 10am. We got to the airport…Andrew, the kids and me. He wanted to bring the kids in…
I feel like the first question you ask your spouse when you’re planning a trip is: are we taking the kids or not? I mean, that’s really the biggest question. The whole planning of the entire trip depends on how that one, crucial question, is answered. Kids or no kids. Everything hinges on that. Funny…
So many people have asked me this week how Disney was. “Amazing. Wonderful. So fun. HOT. It was really, really great.” The Magic Kingdom was in fact, MAGICAL. But wait, that’s for a later post 🙂 The first two days were really fantastic. We left our home at the crack of dawn that Sunday morning, with…
Hello friend! If you haven’t read Part 1 of Our Ark Encounter, you may read it here. That post will give you all the insights to the actual Ark. This post is to show you the other things available at Ark Encounter. As my friend Ann asked me the other day, “Is there really that…
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…
We had a fantastic time…see you soon {hopefully}, Exuma!!!
