Facts :Eight Mile Rock is the largest settlement on Grand Bahama Island, outside of Freeport/Lucaya, and is named after the eight miles of solid rock contained here. The "town" is actually a string of settlements, each of which takes the name of the family who settled and still inhabits the land. Jones Town, Martin Town, Pinedale, Hanna Hill, Bartlett Hill, Wildgoose, and Hepburn Town are a few of the sub-settlements. Their respective families are chiefly descendants of freed slaves who now own the land because their families have inhabited it since the mid-nineteenth century. ... read more

Cutes & Vix w/ Coconut Joe

Mysha

Us girls wanted to go somewhere fun, with lots to do, and to just chill and relax, so we thought let's go to the Carribeans!!! After seeing images of The Atlantis Hotel and Dolpins, we knew it had to be Bahamas, and I have to say it was definately one of the best experiences of my life!!! There was so much fun and laughter, I'm surprised I didn't die of it!!! So Vix and I are in Heathrow, and I noticed that I didn't have a ticket Vix did, so I told the ticket desk and they said that everything was fine and I wouldn't have any problems. When we arrived in Miami, I wasn't allowed to check-in to our flight to Bahamas because of that missing ticket! After argueing for what seemed hours, I ... read more

I'm feeling very tired right now, and my body is reminding me that to much party is not good for me , but come on this is a lifetime travel, I'm beginning to hate this alarm to wake up the passengers of the ship to let us know we have arrived to our next destination, ummm......just five more minutes. And we arrived to Nassau, one of the luxury paradise on earth with a british taste, as a comonwealth member and British ex-Colony they guard a lot of British pecularities, like left circulation, English Colonial arquictecture, very nice Pubs (with some caribbean style), tea-time and very peculiar cultural caracteritics that make the trave worth. Nassau's dowtown was very nice, still feel some of the air of the British Empire, then to continue in our Nassau/Paradise Island express ... read more

20th Wedding Anniversary Cruise to the Bahamas

Boarding our ship in Port Canaveral

Home and Away

For our 20th wedding anniversary we decided to fly to Florida and take the Disney cruise to the Bahamas. So on December 15, 1992, a Tuesday, we flew from Brussels to JFK where we stayed the night at an airport hotel. Early the following morning we caught a flight from La Guardia to West Palm Beach. Mom, Sue and Ron and Brendan and Alyssa met us at the airport and we drove to our home in Lake Worth. On December 18th, a Friday, we drove up the coast to Port Canaveral where we boarded the Big Red Boat for a three day Disney cruise to the Bahamas. This was our first cruise. We checked in and found our cabin, and then returned to the deck for the departure festivities which included throwing spools of paper to ... read more
