I love to travel!! So far I have visited 30 states in the U.S., and my goal is to see all 50. Several countries are also on my bucket list, too. So far this year I have visited Bahamas and Canada. Ireland and Spain are next up on the list.
I really love visiting local yarn shops and creating a crochet design specific to that area.
We spent about an hour there so the passengers could get off enjoy the beach. They even had a floating bar!! Then it was time to head back to the marina, and that’s when the party got started. The DJ turned up the volume, and the crew started to dance. It ended in a conga line going around the boat, then upstairs to make a circle around the top deck. Such a beautiful day!
I didn’t realize that shoes aren’t allowed on the boat, so I didn’t think to put sunscreen on my feet. My new hat came in very handy, though.

That evening was the company dinner at Viola’s Bar and Grill. Again, the food was excellent and plentiful. Appetizers were conch ceviche, chicken wings, and bruschetta. Then we got in the serving line where the cook was grilling steaks and corn on the cob and had baked potatoes and lobster macaroni and cheese in a warmer. The next table was full of all sorts of side dishes along with conch tacos, then a table full of desserts. It seems like Bahamians love to feed people!
There was a calypso band playing throughout dinner and a man who played the saw. He made the rounds of the tables making the men play his saw. Next was a group of Junkanoo dancers. Words just can’t describe how beautiful!
Then came the fire dancer!!
The next two days we were on our own to enjoy the island in our own way. We did a little bit of exploring, but there are many more sites I would love to see if I ever get a chance to go back to Nassau.
The Bahamian people are simply lovely! Everywhere we went, we were greeted as though we were their neighbors. Conversation is easy, and they love to brag on their island. It was an incredible vacation that I feel so fortunate to have experienced.
