Where I spent my New Years vacation.


The beach view from the hotel.

Laziest Day.

Yesterday I slept late barely making it to breakfast before service shut down adn then I put on my bathing suit and laid out and read all day.

After dinner I went and watched the Michael Jackson show, where the staff lip-synched to some of his songs. The dancing was fun to watch, especially Gustavo. Almost the entire work force was Italian, which make them great to watch although their English can be hard to understand.

Then it was time for some late night pizza. Oh, it is so good.

Lazier Day.

Although yesterday I did hit the gym and use the treadmill for about 30 minutes and did absolutely nothing. Well I laid on the beach and read.

I had dinner at the sit down Italian place. Had cheese ravioli. Quite good and they have french butter here. So I have been enjoying that.

After dinner I went down to the bar and watched a big band with local costumes march around. They were a blast.

I then strolled along the beach. The full moon was wonderful and the weather was so warm, even with the breeze coming off the ocean.

Lazy Day.

Yesterday, I laid out in the sun and read a book until lunch time and then after a quick bite and went back to the beach and laid out until I started to turn pink. Might not have used enough sun block. So I am a little pinky.

The beaches are gorgeous here. Beautiful white sand and clear blue water. Watched many woman get their hair braided by one of the local Bahamian woman.

After dinner, I went and watched the comedy show. Not exactly a first rate production, but had funny moments non the less. Afterwards it was time for the late night brick oven pizza. Yummy. So worth staying up late for.

In the Bahamas!

The flight from Washington D.C. to the Bahamas was uneventful. Once I arrived I was the first from the aircraft out of customns, due to the fact that I did not check luggage and therefore did not have to wait. I then found the taxi stand and got a ride to the Viva Wyndham Fortuna. My drive, Elijah, was so friendly.

I then checked in and while I waited for my room had a quick lunch. Once I got into my room, I laid down for a little nap. I then walked the premises and went to dinner. Afterwards I caught the nightly show, which happened to be Aladdin. I then strolled over to the bar and had a drink before heading over at having some late night pizza.

Then, with the sounds of the disco drifting into my room, I feel asleep.
