Bahamas - Dinner and Evening Events

Eating in the evening at the resort was a semi-formal dress event.  Perhaps semi-formal is a misrepresentation of the actual attire required for dinner in most of the resort restaurants but it's a drastic change from swimwear and flip-flops to "elegant sandals" and collard shirts.  As the old saying goes, when in Rome...

Later that evening we went to take some sunset pictures.  The small camera I brought was having some technical difficulties (may have been the person working it) so most of these were courtesy of Kristen's phone.

Though the resort food was good one evenings we decided to head off the resort and eat at the FishFry.

While waiting for our ride someone decided to take the bellman's cart for her own ride, shenanigans...

Yes, the "Cavendish's" had a selfie stick...

For the record FishFry SUCKED and don't even get me started on the service!!!   It should also be noted that we may have been a little out of our element at FishFry.   It is more like a strand of food and bar establishments and as we went to explore this strand after eating, we quickly decided it might be in on our best interest to grab a taxi back to the resort.  It was uncomfortably clear that we did not belong here and we stood out like the tourist we were...

Bahamas - a Day in the Life

Day 1


After a relatively quick trip to Nassau and a short van ride to the hotel we got checked in.   We grabbed  a quick bite to eat and made it to our rooms where we quickly changed in to our work uniforms swim suits and headed for the office beach.

The opening hours at the beach were somewhat chaotic as the workaholics attempted to detox.

After a few hits of the iPhone they were ready to get their vacation on (for the moment) and some of us rejoiced.     While no pictures exist I too was quite happy though my happiness was because I wasn't going to have to pay for the smartphones that almost got skipped across the lagoon.

Finally it was time to enjoy the beach and turquoises waters.  Shenanigans seemed to accompany the adult beverages that were never ending.

It should be noted that Vaughn's phone is NOT actually connected to his ear though his hand does not seem to know this.

It should also be noted that even though we were on vacation, safety was adhered to.  While in the water flotation devices were readily available.

After a few hours at the beach we decided to make our way to the pool for the remainder of the afternoon.  Upon arriving Kristen saw a pool game (bridge) going on and immediately ran over to participate.

She was quite happy with her performance.

Tired from a tough day we called it a day.  It was a tough day at the  office resort and we needed to get ready for dinner.

Bahamas - Private Island

Day 4 - The Private Island


Michelle was sleeping and I was trying to kill the boredom of sitting on a small private beach with a beer when I decided to cross over from our island to this deescalate little island 50 or so yards on the other side of the channel. 

I got over there but it wasn't without it's challenges as the water in the channel was crawling with these guys:

Apparently Michelle figured out I was gone, probably from my dog paddling splashes. 

As I clawed my way on to the slippery rocks to ponder my situation, I realized I'd have to make the treacherous journey back because there was no beer or alcohol on this island.

After a few minutes of watching me ponder, Michelle convinced me to start my journey back.

Luckily the Baywatch lifeguards showed up to see me safely back.

In the end it all worked out and my activity for the day was completed and I was able to return to my normal duties for the rest of the day.
