Nassau Bahamas - May 2005

The reason why I chose to go to the Bahamas was because I had some sort of deal (that I ended up not even using). I had to use it by a certain time. I asked anybody to go with me, but I had no takers except my sister-in-law, Brittany. So she flew from Utah and I flew from Denver and we met in Nassau. It wasn't the greatest trip. Our luggage got lost and didn't come in for a couple of days, and I also got sunburned - really burnt. I was so burnt that I was in the room taking Ibuprofen just to ease the pain. I also had to call the local missionaries for a blessing. Even after I got home from the trip, I was purple because I burned so badly. I think I finally learned my lesson after this trip. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Me - really sunburnt! I was really swollen everywhere. The reason I got burnt was because Brittany and I went out to the beach and a couple of local guys came up to us and kept saying how hot Brittany was and how she looked like J-Lo. Anyway, it was getting pretty annoying for both Brittany and me. They just kept talking to us. I think we were only outside for about an hour or two, but I sure got fried.




I was told from a co-worker that we should take this excursion to the Exuma Cays. Well we did, and it was the best thing we could have done. We took speed boats to this really pretty island that was untouched, and these are all the pictures that I really have of the Bahamas, but they are good ones. It really makes you want to be at the beach right now.

We found this sand dollar, so I stuck it on my necklace. I was already burnt at this time, so I was trying to keep covered up the whole time.


Lots of iguanas

Beautiful water and pics of the excursion















We had a great view from our room


View of the famous Atlantis Hotel from our room (if you can see it)


While we were waiting for our luggage to arrive, we got pulled into this time-share presentation. Unfortunately, I ended up signing up because I was doing a lot of traveling at the time. Well I ended up canceling within the 7-day period and had some troubles getting my money back, but ended up getting it back (thank you Frontier Mastercard for disputing that charge for me). Anyway, the guy on the left of this picture (I can't remember his name) is part of the band Bahamen...Who Let the Dogs Out? He was trying to move to New York to start a solo career. He took us into town so that I could shop for clothes while we were waiting for our luggage to arrive. It was pretty interesting.
