Blogs from Nassau, Bahamas, Central America Caribbean - page 15

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. ... read more

Today we were in the Bahamas and it was a brilliant day. A big group of us (me, Brooks, Brian, Marlize, Samantha, Kevin, Darnell, Jason & Ben) took the water taxi from Nasssau across to Paradise Island. We cruised past the yoga centre I’d looked at doing my teacher training at. Had I spent this year in Toronto, I likely would have saved to go there this past February. As we passed, the guide pointed it out and said how there they “don’t drink, smoke, eat meat or have any nookie-nookie”.

Whew! I am exhausted. These last two days on the boat have been chock full of meetings and drills and introductions that I have barely had time to unpack. To recap on the last few days, I made it safely to the Bahamas by myself where I was immediately regretting my outfit choice of jeans and sweater when I was assaulted by the heat and humidity of the area. I shared a taxi ride to my hotel with another girl and her dad(I think they took pity on me since I was alone) for the low, low price of $60. The Atlantis resort was huge to say the least, but very gorgeous considering its price tag. The first half of the day was not exactly what I was hoping for. It was hard to decipher ... read more

First thing first, I have to say that TravelBlog kicks butt. Seriously, this site is awesome. It inspires me to write somthing to share for all travelgoers out there. With that said, the events occured last Septemeber 19-20. I was planning to write this experience of mine on a notebook, sound chessy? Not really, but somehow I got the time and a peace of mind from work and I have the office by myself. Please note that I don't have a digicam, though I have a disposable camera and will scan it some other day. Day 1 Sleeping under a blanket that covers from the bitter coldness of aircondition (Yes, somehow they haven't adjusted the temperature). First thing I heard is cluttering and chatting of my roomates in early morning, that forced me to wake up ... read more
