This was the BEST trip I ever took. My father was a stock broker, and business was celebrating all their top salesmen. My Dad being one of them! So, me, my 8 year old sister, and my Mom, all went to the Bahamas. When we got to the small island, we had to take a private plane, to Nassua. It was tiny, enough room for the 4 of us and the pilot. My momwas freaking. But when we got into the front of the hotel, it was heaven. Palm trees, everywhere. The men, were bulling down palms from the trees, for Palm Sunday, because it was in a few days. There was a casino, in the hotel. An old man, won lots of coins, when we were eating dinner, so he gave my sis and I each a coin. It was worth $100.00. Our room was ground level, right on the beach. The water was crystal clear, and blue. We also had a lagoon, across from out room, where there were water slides made from rocks. A huge waterfall, that you could swim in. Cute little bridges. It was a fantacy island, for me being 5. We went on a cruise, and went deep sea diving. My father dove for a pearl, for my Mother. We got to pet sting rays. We went into this needle point looking boes, that was ankored to the bottom of the sea. You walk underthe water, and see tons of fish, and sea life. Nothing I’d ever seen! And then you can walk to the very top, and see the view of the endless ocean, with a cool breeze on your face. We also went into the town, and saw how the bohemian people live. There were childres running up to our jeep, with oranges, asking for money. Like something you see on T.V. I was waving to them. The part of town we went to, was unfortunately poor. The chuches were so beautiful. And the shops, were great. We went to a few different towns. We were on the island for about two weeks. We had a babysitter, we called Annelia Bedillia. She was really nice. The burgers from the hotel, where $20.00. We saw a great fire works display, from John Hancock, where my Dad worked. They even wrote the name, in the sky. It was so unforgetable. I got to meet Mary Lou Retton, Olympic Gold Medalist, for gymnastics. And some other big stars, that I don’t remember. The food was great, the people were great, the sights were the best. I would recommend the Bahammas, but only if you have cash to burn. Don’t save up for it. You’re going to need extra, too. The best way to go, is rent a villa, with some friends. We saw a cute pink one. My parents were going to buy it. Something you will never forget!!
