day 5, Woke up to find that amelia had slept with a knife next to her bed for safety. She had also put a chair in front on our apartment door 'just incase anyone decides they wanto to kidnap us.' Nat had a fight with the recliner chair and broke it and also broke the tv. Went to the bank twice in the day because were big business women. On the way back, went to the liquor store for some rum. The man asked if we wanted to try rum, so we had 10 shots of rum each to test. Went out later with 3 bottles of rum and Loz fell off the kerb. Went to subway and then went back to meet one of the landlords, clinton. On greeting him, he told us that there ... read more

Day 7- Turned on the news to be warned that a tornado is heading our way. Nothing stopped us going to the beach that morning for a swim. Came off the beach later and spoke to a man who told us that there are hammerheads and tiger sharks in the sea and no nets are in place. The monsoon rain didnt stop all morning and we headed to Nassau International airport to meet Mart 'Stephenshon.' On arrivals a man was standing with a board with 'Micheal Douglas and celebrity friends' written on it. Micheal Douglas and Morgan Freeman were to arrive to host the celebrity golf tournament in paradise island. Later Mart arrived and introduced us to his many mates that he had met on the plane. Went to Marts hotel, the sandyport beach resort. The ... read more

Day 3 we met the landlord for the first time named miss rowles who looked like she was from 'sister sister'. We then headed to the beach and the sun was beating down on us. The immature kids in the group nat and loz decide to do a twizzer on the sand, only for nat to let go of lozzas hands and for her to go flying into the sea. After 4 hours on the beach we head back to our apartment and Amelia resembled a lobster. sunstroke right there!! We later then walk to the supermarket, a 15 minute walk. The sun was out and nat couldnt look more like curly sue and loz looked liked a little jewish boy. blessed with the frizz. Arrived at the supermarket and loz stocked up on her peanut ... read more

So..First stop Manchester airport followed by Chicago, followed by Miami. Arrived into Nassau 11pm on 18th May greeted by Ruby who looked like she was still in the 70s. Ruby drove us to our apartment and wasnt long until nat and loz got their snore on. Woke up the next day and headed off to the supermarket. spent $230 on food, all healthy may i add. After our hectic shopping trip, we decided we needed some beach time. so after a two minute walk round the corner from our apartment we arrived at the beach and jumped straight into the sea. Not long after..a man on a jet ski who only can be described as a badboi hunk drives on his jet ski past us doing a ridiculously high speed. lozzas first comment 'i really hope ... read more

4/8/12 - Galveston– We plan to start around 8 am but as usual are late. We leave the house at 8:30 am and start the long drive to Galveston. Rohan is his usual cooperative self, taking a nap most of the way. We stop at the rest stop in Columbus, TX and feed him and let him stretch his pudgy little legs. We reach Galveston at 1 pm and park at the EZ parking lot very close to the Cruise terminal. We catch the shuttle to the ship and are checked right away and are on the ship in less than 20 minutes. We love our room with a great balcony and lots of storage area to store Rohan’s stuff. We go to the Lido deck (Deck 10) and get some cheese pizza, the first food ... read more

Title: Boarding and First Day on the Ship Date: 1/20/12 Location: Nassau, Bahamas 1/19/12 First day on the ship!! Got up this morning early, ate a quick breakfast and got Starbucks, made sure everything was in my duffels, checked my email one last time, and got in a cab with other SAS students and parents to go to the ship. I felt very excited and ready to get going as we drove through the morning island traffic to the port. Upon arrival I got in a line and was given a nametag and paperwork to start filling out. I started to feel a little nervous and anxious as I was overwhelmed with the feeling that there was a lot to do. It hit me that this was actually happening and I could see all the students ... read more

This entry is specific to Nassau. Key West blog is here: http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Keys/Key-West/blog-681995.html Ship blog is here: http://www.travelblog.org/Oceans-and-Seas/Atlantic/blog-681988.html Thursday we docked in Nassau Bahamas at noon. I played tour guide and showed Heather Fort Fincastle and the Queens staircase. The fort used to be free to tour, now it's $1 and they've added tourist info to it. The queens staircase is impressive because it was carved and dug into the rocks by slaves without the modern machinery we take for granted ven. From there we took a water taxi to Paradise Island to see Atlantis. There was a woman on the boat that was all shades of green. She made it, but we ... read more
