Bahamas Pt 2

Image
After spending 2 nights on Harbour Island we flew over to Long Island for 2 more nights.  After that we were on our way to the Exumas.  The Bahamas has over 700 islands, most of them uninhabitable. The nice ones are owned by celebrities.  David Copperfield owns a few islands down there and you would not believe how much he rents it for a night! You can find out here  Musha Cay . We also saw Steven Spielberg's yacht that looks likes a Carnival Cruise liner.  SOOO HUGE!! It's crazy how much wealth their is in this world and you can definitely see it in the Bahamas.

Our last day at Long Island, exploring the end of the island.  Not much there. This is Dean's Blue Hole.  We visited by car and then we flew over it on our way out.  It's the second largest blue hole in the world with a depth of 663 f

 Bahamas Bound!! In March, John and I decided to take a few days to explore the Bahamas.......in our own little plane! John researched and planned the logistics of how to get there.  Passports, customs, were to clear, were to land, airport locations, etc. I booked the hotels and our excursions. This was no small undertaking.  John was cool as a cucumber as he navigated the 40 minutes or so over open water for the first time.  Once we landed he was more relaxed, he did an amazing job! The above picture is of our gps system showing us flying over the Grand Bahama International Airport. Our first stop was Harbour Island and MY first stop was the bar.  We stayed in a beautiful resort called Valentines Resort & Marina.  We were ferried over by boat after we landed. Do you see the monkey behind my cocktail?  That's how I felt inside as we flew over the vast ocean. At Romora Bay John has never met a stranger and we first met him on the ferry tax
