The Bahamas and going home

The Bahamas were so much fun! I was greeted at the airport by Alex and Katie. We looked worlds apart, them in nice clothes, good hair and Katie in a cool blonde wig and me in my messy travel clothes, bad hair and with a big heavy backpack. We stopped the taxi to get pizza then proceeded to our hotel. Pizza/pasta could in fact be the theme of this section of my travels! Despite dire warnings about the Nassau Beach Hotel and bad reviews I thought it was amazing. It was all I could have asked for. Imagine my joy in finding a hot shower and that I could flush toilet paper down the toilet! Honestly, it's all about the simple things!

We spent our days either by the pool, on the beach, or shopping. Compare that to building clay houses!! It was a welcome break although I couldn't live in such a relaxed kinda way my whole life! Evening were spent at nice restaurants and/or with our new friends Lael and Bobby. Their ipod speakers were truly a blessing!

I've just arrived back in London after travelling since yesterday morning. Overall this trip I've been on a grand total of nine planes. London - Chicago - Miami - El Salvador - Honduras - Miami - Nassau - Miami - Washington DC - London. That's quite an adventure! My backpack however is still on holiday in Washington. Hopefully it'll arrive here some time soon...I guess it got lost with all my connecting flights.

I guess I'll have to conclude this blog by saying that this has truly been the trip of a lifetime never to be forgotten. I've had some of the best experiences of my life and I'll treasure the memories forever. I think I've caught the travel bug. Although it's great to be home I'm already itching to go and explore a brand new section of the world!!! Any recommendations?!?!!
