While I absolutely love traveling with my family, there is something special about a trip with your best friend! I recently went on a short 3 day cruise on Royal Caribbean to the Bahamas. My best friend and I had a fabulous time! There was lots of relaxing time, yummy drinks and wonderful food. But best of all was the uninterupted conversation where we could catch up and discuss the serious issues of the world and get caught up on the latest entertainment news!
Our day in the Bahamas was spent at the Atlantis Resort. If you are looking for a large resort with something for everyone, this is your dream. The nice part about traveling with a close friend is that you know eachother well enough that you can do your own thing and no one cares. While my friend spent her day on the beach sipping Pina Coladas, I participated in a deep water swim with the dolphins encounter at Atlantis' Dolphin Cay. I have seen a lot of swim with the dolphin excu
rsions, but this one was fabulous! I was actually able to get in the water with the dolphin and have her push me around by my foot. Then we were given personal motorized devices that allowed us to swim alongside the dolphin and dive with them into the deeper waters. They are such amazing creatures, full of personality and very sweet. The staff did a wonderful job and I would highly suggest this excursion to anyone visiting the Bahamas. They also take pictures that are for sale at the end of your program.
Next stop was onto Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's private island, Cocoa Cay. We had gorgeous weather and had a wonderful day at the beach.
This was such a nice trip and quite a reminder to make time for good friends in our busy lives!
