Get Away to Nassau, Bahamas
/“It’s Better In The Bahamas” When I was young that was the slogan friends and I can tell you I agree! This summer instead of heading to the beach in New Jersey or taking a “history” trip as we’ve done the past two summers we grabbed our passports, poured sunscreen into appropriately tiny travel bottles and headed to the airport to meet my sister and brother in law. It was quite a travel day waking at 3am for a 4:30am car, arrival at Newark Liberty by 5:15am for an 8:15am flight. The best part was landing in Nassau at 11:28am. Woo Hoo!
We stayed at Margaritaville One Particular Harbour Luxury Residences. We enjoyed the view from our 7th floor corner balcony of the ships entering the harbor in the morning and turning around and heading out to sea at the end of each day. The only day the port was empty was Friday.
Since we were staying in One Particular Harbour we had access to all the amenities of Margaritaville, plus the pool at One Particular Harbour and the private beach next door at their sister property British Colonial. You can see a bit of the pool and the beach in the image above.
THESE VIEWS!!!!
I woke early and watched ships enter the harbor as the sun rose.
Fins Up Water Park is adjacent to the Margaritaville Hotel. It has slides, a lazy river and a high jump. Our pool was relatively quite and steps from the beach.
Here are some image by my husband from our balcony.
We ventured into town and I was thrilled to find a Benetton Store! Later that day our niece joined us and we enjoyed lunch on the pier.
We spotted a few turtles.
We visited the Straw Market and then ventured to The Queen’s Staircase.
My sister and I both love the film Now Voyager and in the film Bette Davis and Paul Henreid spend time in Nassau and visit the Queen’s Staircase. My phone took us up to Fort Fincastle, then we walked down and found the entrance to the staircase. Only my niece braved the walk up the 64 steps.
My son was thrilled to find a shell unfortunately, there was a very much alive conch inside so back in the water it went.
There were many mojitos and piña coladas from the Pool Bar.
THE CREW!
The sky our last night.
A panorama our last morning.
Friends this vacation consisted of a few trips into town, lots of time in the water - be it a pool or the beach all while enjoying laughs, great chats, yummy drinks, island foods all with beautiful views. Truly the most wonderful trip with our favorite people!
Til next time be well and I’ll see you over on the Gram!
