We’ve been looking forward to this trip for months. Neither of us have been to the Caribbean and we haven’t had any adult time away from our kids since our daughter was born. Thankfully, my parents graciously offered to watch the kids. Leaving the kids was harder than I expected. I teared up when I said, “I love you” to my son, tucking him in for bed before we caught our red-eye.
If you’ve never been to an all-inclusive resort, there is something to be said for the accessibility of everything. Food, drink, entertainment, water sports and other recreational activities are all within arms reach. As club-level guests, we even shared a concierge and dining specialist to help us make reservations, suggest off-site destinations, and answer the countless questions that arose.
One of my favorite memories of the week was snorkeling for the first (and second) time. I was mesmerized by the schools of fish that swam by, the loner fish that seemed to be on a mission, the creepy eel that slithered past, and the coral swaying peacefully on the reef. The vibrant colors and uniquely shaped fish all seemed magical as I floated on the surface of the water. It was like I was looking down into a giant salt water aquarium.
Although we enjoyed the many conveniences the resort offered, we wanted to venture outside of the resort to experience the real Nassau. Tomorrow I’ll share with you some of our favorite moments in and around the city.
