back to reality.

We're back, everyone!  We spent an AMAZING few days on Cable Beach, Nassau.  I truly cannot express in words how great of a trip we had-- we did so many cool things and saw some beautiful sights!  I will spend the next few entries detailing each day with a rundown of our trip and photos from our experiences.  Here is what we spent our precious days of relaxation doing...


  • Saturday, 2.26: Flew from Chicago to Dallas, Dallas to Nassau.  Arrived at the hotel around 4pm.  Checked in, booked our excursions, explored the area, ordered room service for dinner and went to bed.
  • Sunday, 2.27: Took a shuttle from our hotel to the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal, then boarded a boat for Blue Lagoon Island.  Spent all day on the private island, including our dolphin swim, lunch, sunning, swimming and water biking.  Relaxed around the hotel and ate dinner outside on the terrace.
  • Monday, 2.28: Slept in a bit, relaxed by the pool and enjoyed the beach.  We also had fun on the water slide, played poolside bingo and swam in the ocean.  For the afternoon, we took a bus to downtown Nassau and explored some shops and sights.  We had dinner and many drinks at the ever-popular Senor Frog's, which was a BLAST!  That night, we enjoyed some serious hot tub time and swam under the stars in the heated pool.
  • Tuesday, 3.1: Woke up very early to catch a shuttle to the Ferry Terminal again, this time for our trip to Allan's Cay and Ship Channel Cay.  We fed iguana's at Allan's Cay and then stingrays and sharks on Ship Channel.  Got to snorkel, had a great grilled lunch and lounged on the beach.  We were tuckered out after our all-day adventure, but headed to Arawak Cay, aka the "Fish Fry" for dinner and went to bed early (9pm!)
  • Wednesday, 3.2: Went for an early morning swim, packed our goodies and headed to the airport.  We flew from Nassau to Philadelphia and then to Chicago.  After a few travel delays, we arrived home around 9:30pm.  
Look for upcoming daily breakdowns of our trip over the next few days... for now, though, here's a sneak peek at some photos!
