Bahama Mamas

Did I ever mention how I travel for a living? I wish someone would pay me to do this, but for now I will rely on my two jobs. They treat me pretty well.

For my newest adventure I went to the Bahamas with two of my best friends, and a couple of boys. It was a spur of the moment trip. The idea was brought to the table less then two months ago, and within 24 hours tickets had been bought. We decided to be risk takers and go on Carnivals Cruise line for a 4 day cruise. We knew the reputation Carnival has been having the past year, but they have never let me down. This was my second cruise with them in 6 months. Plus I am young and adventurous. What is the worst that can happen? Oh I know, a sunburn that stings with every move you make. But that was my fault. I think the sun is brighter and stronger in the Bahamas.

We were pretty non adventurous this cruise. We laid out, drank virgin drinks and diet coke with lime. It was definitely a relaxing vacation. Sometimes you need to sit back and enjoy the view.

Freeport, Bahamas was the first stop. I was not very impressed. My expectations were a bit unrealistic, or my geographical picture of a tropical island was off a bit. It was not very clean, and the ocean was not as blue. I had this tropical getaway implanted in my head. I think I was expecting the Caribbean or Costa Rica (two places I have never been. YET). Regardless of our surroundings a good time was had.

Next stop was Nassau. Absolutely breathtaking. Crystal blue waters, white sand. We went and played at the beach next door to Atlantis. The waves were huge, and breaking right at the shore. You had to be careful because they were knocking people down. Some may have even received a few show from me.

Other then the beautiful beach, the sun, and friends, a great time was had. On the ship, we wined and dined, danced, and even gambled. So until next time, I will be working to save up for my next big trip. Like the locals said "Ya Mon".
