Atlantis Paradise Island

Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas
Good morning

We woke up to the storm, ugh this is not what we anticipated for a winter vacation . So what to do, we will make our way to the telephone store to find out why our minutes are being chewed up. We have the Atlantis tech support people coming at 10AM to check our Internet issues, I managed to get my computer to connect but that is not helping Bryan with his work.

Hoping the weather breaks later today, the forecast is for sun and clouds this is very wet sunshine :-)

Had a great day tech issues were fixed before noon I have to remember that everything is not running on Bahamian time so you have to be patient and wait for them to arrive. The tech was very knowledgeable but afraid of boats so we had to team him how to get on and off the boat he was over 6 feet tall but as timid as a 5 year old it was funny. From there I went to the gym the gym is just so great here huge and has most everything you need. I tried the pool after that but the big clouds rolled in again so we made our way to the local mall to fix our phone, another tech issue sorted out. It's a pretty nice little mall and they call it a plaza has a very nice fresh grocery store so we will go back there tomorrow when Craig and Marg arrive.

We wandered around the Marina village when we got back window shopping then back to the boat to get ready for dinner. We ate in the resort at a very nice Bahamian steak house the food was very good and the wine was excellent. From there we hit the casino I was lucky for a while but in the end lost what I started with, had a really great time which is the important part.

We are excited for Craig and Marg to arrive tomorrow!

Your weather predictions were pretty accurate! Glad you are tucked into the "back of the bus" ok :). Paradise island looks like it has grown a ton, that resort is huge! I remember the island being only sandy beaches and cruise ship outings ....I actually water skied there , about 34 years ago! Have a great time at Atlantis. H xo

I know the skipper is a pro at weather / wind watching. It's blowing like a mad dog today which is good because A: we are not on the open water and B: the clouds move fast to show the sun :-)) You water skied here that is cool, 34 years ago when you were a kid! IT is fixed off to the gym and a trip to their local market. We are parked right beside a couple from Canmore AB crazy small world we live in.
