Our neighbors are leaving today to go on their first cruise together. Their excitement made me start thinking about our first cruise together and how much fun we had!! We went to the Bahamas in May of 2002. It was a multi-purpose trip...we went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and also to celebrate my graduation from Wichita State University. We had an unbelievably good time!
We got a GREAT deal on our trip to Florida and the Bahamas because it was one of those timeshare vacations where they entertain you for several days and then try to get you to buy one of their timeshares. We also got very lucky with a good salesman who was willing to go through the sales presentation motions with us, but he was not pushy or high pressure at all. We actually enjoyed our presentation and have thought someday we might own a timeshare.
Our trip consisted of several activities. We began our vacation in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We had fun hanging out at the beach, but realized how dirty that city is/was! We then spent a few days on the boat and in Nassau, Bahamas. Once we got to Nassau we took an "Island Excursion" and went to the Island of the Blue Lagoon. It was gorgeous! After we arrived back in Ft. Lauderdale we drove up to Orlando and went to a Pirate Dinner Theater. That was very entertaining. We also spent a day at MGM Studios at Walt Disney World. We then drove back to Ft. Lauderdale and flew home. "It was good times," according to Dave. I picked just a small portion of our pictures to use with this post. I took 10 rolls of film so there is NO way I could ever post that many! Plus, there are so many pictures of the gorgeous scenery, but I decided to stick to pictures that actually had us in them. Enjoy!
