29 Awesome Things I Learned In The Bahamas

Posted on by

Back from the BahamasHey kids!
I’m baaaaaaccccckkkk!
(hmmmm…that kind of looks like that was said by a sheep…)Megan and I are back from an awesomely relaxing trip in the Bahamas at the wonderful Breezes Resort! My coworkers keep telling me that I look relaxed and very tan.
Meh, I’ll take either.
Anyway, I’m going to write an unsolicited review of the resort sometime soon, but for now I just wanted share with you 28 random thoughts about the trip that I wrote on the plane in my handy dandy notebook. Enjoy!

  1. The Bahamas are pretty Americanized. They even take US currency.
  2. The resort carried CBC. I watched a lot of Canadian television.
  3. Climbing a rock wall is awesome.
  4. Customer service>style
  5. Miami’s airport is a zoo.
  6. Fried conch is a weird sea snail but it tastes like clam strips.
  7. Become friends with other vacationers.
  8. Pool volleyball is a fun way to make said friends.
  9. Peddleboats are deceptively complicated.
  10. Nassau has a beautiful airport.
  11. Megan is a pool shark in training.
  12. Kayaking is a fun way to get an ab workout.
  13. When you climb a rock wall for the first time, expect some serious blisters and/or ripped skin on your hands.
  14. But it’s still worth it.
  15. Always try new things while on vacation. That way if you don’t do well, it’s in front of people that you’ll never see again.
  16. This is particularly true when it comes to belting out the last verse of “Piano Man” that no one else knows.
  17. Always do the fun and goofy activities at the resort. Everyone else is.
  18. Don’t take yourself too seriously while on vacation.
  19. In fact, never take yourself too seriously.
  20. Make time to just sit and watch TV in your hotel room.
  21. Wreck-It Ralph is awesome.
  22. I feel like I’ve failed at life for not watching it sooner.
  23. If you’re staying in a resort, don’t feel pressured to leave and explore your surroundings. Keep the paradise facade alive during your trip.
  24. Anna Nichole Smith was buried next to our resort.
  25. Some foreigners are just as interested in your culture as you are in theirs.
  26. Ask them where they have traveled.
  27. Wear sunscreen.
  28. Start planning your next adventure while your mind is clear of work gunk.
  29. But seriously, wear sunscreen.

  2. I love all the things you learned! When I think back to mine and Mr. B’s honeymoon in Mexico, some of the best memories were the ones where we just relaxed and didn’t do a damn thing. Oh and zip lining….and snorkeling. So awesome.

    I will be taking some of these tips when we go to Jamaica in November!

    Glad you had fun!
