Both as a belated honeymoon, and as a one year anniversary vacation Adrien and I decided to take a trip somewhere tropical. We ended up being swayed by the barrage of ads for "Bahamaventions" we saw on subways and trains all over the city. So we settled on finding a resort in the Bahamas for spring break.

We took a short three hour flight on jet blue arriving in the Bahamas at their small main airport where we took a short bus to the hotel. After a quick group check it complete with champagne and cookies we went up and unpacked out bags and explored the resort. The resort included 8 restaurants, three pools- each with a swim up bar, an off shore island reached by boat.





Most mornings we had continental breakfast delivered to the room, some mornings we also we to one of the breakfast buffets or the French themed restaurant for a served breakfast. The days were mostly spent laying in various beach loungers with a frozen drink in one hand and a book or magazine in the other. During the week we managed to go through two full bottles of sunscreen and lotion. Most dinners we were required to make reservations and dress up for the various themed restaurants. Throughout the week we drank copious amounts of pina coladas, and champagne (they replaced the champagne bottles in the room daily.) We had enough to do that we never needed or wanted to leave the resort.






The evening we arrived there was a pirate themed outdoor bbq dinner, complete with a band and the staff in cheesy pirate themed gear. Day two I had an exfoliating massage to try to get rid of all the dry dead New York winter skin. Than we soaked up some sun before dinner at the Italian restaurant. On the third day Adrien had some spa time and than we took a boat out the the small island for some island themed food. On the forth day we went kayaking in the ocean and ate dinner at the Japanese restaurant. The fifth day was the most active, in the morning we kayaked, than Adrien played volleyball, in the afternoon we took a mini sailing lesson and went out sailing, and dinner was at the fancy continental food restaurant. The sixth and last day went by way too fast, for the most part we layed around soaking up the sun and ended the day with a meal at the French restaurant.




Coming back to New York was hard. While we were basking in the sun the city was hit with yet another snow storm and we arrived home to find snow and ice all over the city. A drastic change from the warmth and the sun of the islands.
