Kid's At Last!
... or so, when it's time to go, there will be a flood of around 300 hundred boats all pouring out to the north. Elizabeth Harbour is quite large and has many anchorages so I'm not sure where we'll all squeeze in on the way up? Our next stop ...
Atlantis found in the Bermuda Triangle!

Still in Nassau

Does It Get Any Better Than This ?

A day in The Bahamas
... have done none of this, and yet it appears as if I have. But, since that's really the only complaint I have about the Bahamas, I think we're doing okay. It's a lovely place, really, but I feel that growing up in Las Vegas has spoiled its ...
Bahama Drama

Tips for Cruising Like a Pro!

Relaxing Day at Sea
That morning I work up early (why is it that I always wake up earlier on vacation than I do at home?) and relaxed with my book (or nook, I should say) in the solarium. I ate breakfast in the solarium bistro, which is a great healthy alternative to ...
Finally........
... handy. Oh well, we'll just put in some pics when we get back home. Nonetheless, today was what we finally expected of the Bahamas. As bad as Freeport was, Great Stirrup Cay (NCL's own private island) was awesome. It was a little chilly, but not bad ...

Tara's wedding at Sandals
