Waiting at the airport for our redeye flight Sunday night.
Despite our jetlag and lack of sleep, we were ready to party! Oh speaking of lack of sleep...Phil made a new friend on the plane with whom he talked to all night (is that the correct use of whom? I never know). Needless to say, Phil didn't get any sleep. Phil is really good at talking to anyone in any situation! This guy was actually a UVU student going home to Burmuda for the summer. To paint a picture, he was covered with tatoos and piercings. However, Phil did have a chance to briefly talk about the church so that was nice.
I have to put in a plug for Fernando. Fernando was our housekeeper and boy was he a good one! He came twice a day and I have to say he was quite the organizer and very artistic. The very first night I got ready for dinner and I left my hair and make-up stuff all over the desk. We got back to our room that night and my clutter had turned into this...
Fernando was also very good at making towel animals. We had a dog one night and what we think was Yoda the next. We didn't take a picture of Yoda because we weren't actually sure if it was Yoda. Here is our dog. We named him Fernando!
Once we could check into our rooms, we changed into swimming suits and hit the pool for some sun as the boat left Miami.
I think Jim’s favorite part of the whole trip was the soft served Ice Cream. He couldn’t get enough of it. I was pretty disappointed because the only flavors they had were vanilla and strawberry. No CHOCOLATE!!!
On Tuesday morning, we woke up at the Grand Bahama Island. We spent the day window shopping through the little stores and laying on the beach. We had so much fun in the amazing water and on the beach making sand sculptures. The boys made a woman and the girls made a sea turtle. It was fun watching people walk down the beach and stop to stare at our creations. I have to admit though, the woman was more popular than our turtle. A big group of 10 people even asked Margo to take their picture with it. It was a fun day!
