Bahamas, here we come!

Soon (within the next 6 months), we will be sitting in those chairs!

Our best friends (we'll call them Hailey and Warren) and we are going to be going to Sandals Royal Bahamian in the Bahamas. We just booked the vacation last week. We're all very excited, especially with the huge amounts of snow, ice and rain we've gotten recently... it will be a great change of scenery. :)

I would have slightly preferred a vacation with a little more culture and change from the typical, tropical vacations that are the only times I've ever been out of the country, but Hailey and Warren aren't big on vacations that aren't all-inclusive and Americanized. (Hailey's afraid of wildlife and crimes, and Warren's afraid of the outdoors, haha.) I had suggested Belize, which is both tropical AND cultural (Mayan ruins, etc.), but they didn't have any big resorts that were what we were looking for exactly. Hailey and Warren like the brand name of Sandals because they went to one in Jamaica for their honeymoon and they know what to expect. Rod wasn't complaining because all-inclusive means all you can eat - for one set price!

And, at the end of the day, we're not too picky - we just want to go on vacation with them. We can take plenty of cultural vacations in the future. Maybe in a couple years we can convince them to try Belize or Australia or something... that'd be the next step up, I think. ;)
