I'm still alive, so no one gets my stuff! I'm just sitting here, exhausted, not wanting to start any actual work, so I figured "Hey! I know a good way to waste 20 mins!"
So Bahamas.... WOOHOO
Best vacation EVER. It would've been great to have a bigger group of people but the 3 of us had a great time. The hotel was right on the beach; the weather was perfect all week; the water was clear and warm; the food was great (besides the very first day... that buffet sucked).
Besides just laying out on the beach (which we didn't really get to do too much of, not that I really like just laying around doing nothing...) we went parasailing, did a Dolphin encounter, swam at Blue Lagoon Island, went downtown to the shopping/cruise docking area, walked over to Atlantis (yes, they've discovered the long lost continent and you can WALK to it from downtown Nassau.... or maybe it's just the cheesy Atlantis resort that advertises all the time), gambled at the casino (well, I watched others gamble), and just plain RELAXED.
For an entire week I completely forgot about school. THAT is the measure of a trully great vacation. Although the drinking age is 18, I wasn't all that inspired to go and drink as much as I possibly could. First off, all the drinks were really expensive, but besides that, they're all just too damn fruity. I don't like pineapple. But the occasional drink or glass of wine with dinner felt great.
Alex and I spent pretty much the entire week together, straight. Still not sick of each other. Absolutely astounding. Well, more like he's not sick of me yet. I tend to find myself quite annoying after a while, but he seems to handle it pretty well. If I had given anyone a negative impression of him or our relationship let me just take this moment to clarify that everything is wonderful. He is a great boyfriend, and we get along so well that we have to make up silly disagreements about the most trivial things just to make ourselves feel better. I'm not quite sure how that works btw.
Here are some pics of the vacation that should make you adequately jealous. At least that's what I'm aiming for. :)
