Life’s a Beach

Hi guys!! Weโ€™re here in the Bahamas after a crrraazzzyyyy day of traveling ๐Ÿ™‚

Bahama faces:

We stopped in Miami from Atlanta and had a pretty long layover. We did what was necessary and grabbed some Cuban food. It felt SO good to use some of my espanol today, too ๐Ÿ™‚

food

Black bean sopa for me, with a fruit bowl, 3 plantains, and chicken, bread, rice and cheesecake for the pilot.

I also munched this bar:

These Vega bars are probably my #1 all-time favorite bar. Too bad my wallet hates them- $3 for a snack bar :/ But soooooo good.

And at the suggestion of my beautiful friend Jenny, I had a shot of espresso from Cafe Versailles

And the pilot was pensive and drank his latte ๐Ÿ˜‰

We hopped on the bumpy plane to the Bahamas, and before we knew it, we could see paradise.

I have NEVER seen water so blue in my entire life.

We went through customs:

And the car took us to our resortโ€ฆ.

I could get used to this ๐Ÿ˜‰

Our room:

  19. Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter on May 11, 2010 at 8:09 pm

    I love how your TV is never going to be turned on. I feel like I watch even more TV when I go on vacation even if it’s the Bahamas. I can’t wait to hear your updates. Have fun with the pilot my dear! ๐Ÿ˜€

  20. Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin on May 11, 2010 at 8:10 pm

  25. nikki on May 11, 2010 at 9:13 pm

    gorgeous! can I ask where you are staying? Bahamas is on my list! Have fun for us living in the snowy states =)

  26. Stephanie on May 11, 2010 at 9:21 pm

    The water in the Bahamas is gorgeous, agreed! We were just there last August and had the best time, enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚

  27. Cassie @ A Very Busy Mind on May 11, 2010 at 9:37 pm

    This is me being significantly MORE jealous than I was in your last post.

    Oh, and I love your Bahama Faces. ๐Ÿ™‚

  28. Mary on May 11, 2010 at 9:47 pm

    I’m so insanely jealous I’d be planning my own Bahamas vacation if I knew of a good resort! Anyone? Readers?

  29. Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches on May 11, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    Oh gosh…your vacay digs look AH-MA-ZING. You two are going to have such a great time.

    Also, are you bilingual or is Spanish a second language? Or your first language? Just curious! I’m so jealous of anyone who can speak two languages. I’m trying to learn Spanish, but it’s slow going. I know some French, but nowhere near enough to be fluent in it! Sigh…if only my parents could have spoken two languages at me when I was just a wee bebe. That would have made it so much easier!

    Have a great time Gina!

    • Fitnessista on May 11, 2010 at 10:31 pm

      my family is mexican so spanish is a second language– i don’t get to use it as often now, though

  30. Blubeari on May 11, 2010 at 10:02 pm

    Looks amazing!!! Making me jealous ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. Liza on May 11, 2010 at 10:34 pm

    Gina I am so jealous of you right now!! That looks wonderful. I’m sure you have tons of fun. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Just wondering, are henna tattoos a thing in beaches over there? Here in the Philippines they’re available in every single beach you could go to. Last time, I got butterfly wings on my back. ๐Ÿ˜›

  32. Courtney on May 11, 2010 at 11:31 pm

    That water is gorgeous!! I’ve always wanted to go somewhere tropical like that. Have a blast!!

  33. Allie on May 11, 2010 at 11:51 pm

    OMG!! I’m jealous!!! Have a wonderful time!! Which hotel are you in? It looks fabulous! (you can tell us when you get back if you want!! i.e. keep the crazy stalkers away!! lol!!!)

  34. Melissa S. on May 12, 2010 at 12:59 am

    Woman, you need to go to Australia. You will be blown away!

  35. Romy on May 12, 2010 at 1:33 am

    Oh, Ginaโ€ฆI NEED a vacation like this. Next best thing is living it vicariously through you. I think the view from your patio calmed me a bit here in my little cube ๐Ÿ˜‰
