Vacation to the Bahamas

Our vacation was great! We went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We first spent the weekend in Daytona beach where we stayed with Chris/Nikki's Aunt. We got to lay on the beach and do some fun stuff there. Then we headed to Port Canaveral to board our ship. The first day we were supposed to go to Cococay which is a private island exclusive to Royal Carribean cruise lines, but they had to push it off to Thursday because they said weather was going to be bad. So we went on to Nassau. Nassau is nice, but its very commercialized. Kinda reminded me of when I went to Israel. But there are lots of parts that are beautiful, such as in the image above. This was a beach exclusive to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, a small island that connects to Nassau. We toured the hotel; they have a casino, shopping, and a nice aquarium inside the hotel. Very nice.

We attempted Cococay on the last day of our cruise, and they said weather was still bad, so we didn't get to go there at all. But it was beautiful on the ship, so we're guessing they were running out of fuel and didn't wanna stop at another island, lol.

I sware I almost died in the taxi cab. Dude don't know how to drive. Well...none of them know how to drive there. It was crazy! Oh, and I couldn't find one last american on that boat, employee that is, that could tell me how I could watch the finale of american idol on the ship. I couldn't believe no one knew what I was talking about. Where are all those 80 million people that vote on that show?? Not on my cruise boat. So needless to say, I missed the finale. But I figured Chris would win, even though Adam sings rings around him. Christian/gay issue or not, its a singing competition. Oh well.

I missed Caitlyn so much. I believe next years trip will include some kiddy activities so Caitlyn can go. I thought I may have been sea sick on the boat to begin with, but I was just Caitlyn-sick. I did not want to leave her. So I was glad to get back and see her again. Or maybe it was that my mom made me sign a death release in case we died. I was so nervous for the first day on that cruise...thought I was gonna die, lol... The last day, we went through some storms that evening and the boat was so rocky. I wish you all could see the video Nikki took of the pictures on the wall going back and forth. It was hilarious, but not to Chris, he was running back and forth to the bathroom. Poor thing : )
