As I depart the island of Eleuthera, I can’t help but ponder its similarities as well as its differences to the Exumas. Like with any “love affair”, whether it be the make of car, a brand of clothes, a relationship, or an island in this case, it’s incredibly hard to keep an open mind about … Continue reading Eleuthera vs Exuma
Our last full day arrived all too quickly. The last day is never one to look forward to when vacationing. Well, ideally. This is where I start to cram as much as possible so as to not miss any opportunities for fun. I have a serious case of both FOMO (fear of missing out) and … Continue reading Eleuthera Escapades: Day 4
Whew! Yesterday was a smokefest with all the driving and exploring. As it turned out, today was a bit less driving but just as much exploring. Our focus was on central Eleuthera and we didn’t have anywhere to be so we could just poke around the beaches, bars, and neighborhoods as we pleased. We probably … Continue reading Eleuthera Escapades: Day 3
So the 10 year-old kindly escorted us across the street to said bar. Local Bahamian men were on the front porch playing dominoes. There’s just something so wonderful about witnessing authentic island life. We grabbed a drink inside and immediately went out to the front porch. I felt a bit odd barging in on their … Continue reading Eleuthera Escapades: Day 2 Cont’d
More about Pineapple Fields for those interested. The hotel was recommended to me by a yachtie I once met in Exuma. It also seemed to be the safest bet and centrally located on the island. When I say “safest bet”, I don’t mean in the security sense, rather, I mean more from a location perspective … Continue reading Eleuthera Escapades: Day 2
First and foremost, THANK YOU for your comments so far! You are too kind. It’s humbling to know that you’re enjoying this blog and I’m thrilled (and shocked) you can make it through at least one paragraph of my grammatically incorrect writing and aren’t too offended by the occasional foul language or opinionated comments. J … Continue reading Eleuthera Escapades: Day 1 cont’d
Let’s be real…I’m no travel blogger. I’m simply recording my experiences and thoughts for those who might be interested in visiting the same nooks and crannies of the world that I do as well as feeding information into a log so when my dementia is at its zenith at 80, I can read about all … Continue reading Eleuthera Escapades: Day 1
Our last full day in Provo had already arrived. We didn’t have anywhere to be or anything scheduled but I knew snorkeling the reefs right off the beach was on my list before we left. If it was anything like the reef we snorkeled on the boat tour the other day, we were in for … Continue reading Provo Wrap Up
We had all day to beebop around the island to see everything we could possibly see in a day’s time. That would, of course, include stopping at all the bars and restaurants that were recommended to us. Too bad we can only eat so much. But who says we can’t bar crawl our way around … Continue reading Provo Crawlin’
After the slightest rum hangover wore off, we were up and ready to get the day started. At this point, we hadn’t even seen the beach yet and it was just 100 yards away. We walked across the street to the Grace Bay Club and checked out the scene. As you can imagine at a … Continue reading Touristing in Provo
