we at the hotel, motel, holiday inn 🏨

 




















Hello from the Bahamas! 🇧🇸

(for the last time 🥹)

Friday morning marked our last day in San Salvador. For breakfast, we had pancakes and bacon, of course.


We all found closure with the island in our ways, through final dips in the water, walks along the sand, and soaking up as much beach time as possible. All of us experienced mixed emotions as we prepared for our journey home. Some never wanted to leave, while others were ready for their own beds, pets, and family. Loose ends were tied, bags were packed and loaded, one last meal of pizza was had, and we all piled into Truck Y for the very last time. 


We had one last stop at Wendys before boarding our flight to Nassau. 

We landed in Nassau and were graciously greeted by our shuttle which had music AND AC!!! We stayed “at the motel, hotel, Holiday inn” -Pitbull 😎 We got our room situated and parted into 2 groups. The majority of the group went to a Fish Fry place where they enjoyed conch fritters, grilled conch, and even a snapper! The other girls went to Señor Frogs were we enjoyed amazing tacos and Francine got alfredo out of all things but hey to each their own! We got pretty drinks and walked around to see what Nassau had to offer (not much tbh)🍹 We stopped for ice cream and headed back to the hotel for an early night because we were EXHAUSTED. We all agreed we had the best sleep of our lives and so much so Francine got a video of me (Paola) snoring like a dad after his 9-5. In the morning Francine and I SPRINTED to the straw market to get some souvenirs before we headed to the airport and even though she hated me for making us run she agrees it was worth it for those shot glasses 🤓. We are currently in the airport waiting for our flight to Charlotte, NC before finally landing in Seattle at 9 pm (midnight San Salvador time 😣). Thank you for following along with us through this very exciting and eventful journey on our J-Term trip to the Bahamas! 🇧🇸

Signing out for the last time,

Paola, Sophia, Logan, & the rest of the crew!

  Ahoy Mateys! Buckle up, today is a special day. It is Madi and Morgan blog takeover day! Today we will take you through an exciting 24 hours on San Salvador, checking in for live on the scene updates. There will be adventures, there will be drama, there will be tears! Hold on to your hats and loved ones, this might get intense.  8:17 AM: This is Madi and Morgan Reporting live from room K. We have just returned from breakfast, where we were pleasantly surprised with a new treat: blueberry muffins! This was first for us on the island, and we all savored our delicious pastries. Today also marks the first day that we are almost the only people on campus! It is slightly eerie, and we have moved to the big center table in the cafeteria to assert our dominance. Currently, we are scrambling to put on our perpetually damp swim suits, and lathering up with our various lotions and potions (in general, the magic formula is 1 layer of sun screen- reef safe, of course, 1 layer of your oil...

Toby’s Birthday at Club Med!

Good evening beautiful blog readers, commenters, and lurkers. Today started off bright and early for room K (and Logan) who arose at 5:45 AM and made the trek to Graham Harbor to see the sun rise. Even a couple of our resident sickos (Shannon and Madi) made the journey despite their sniffling and coughing. We made it out to one of the rocky cliffsides and sat amongst some snails and friendly hermit crabs for the viewing of the dazzling pink and yellow glow above the sea. We then, unfortunately, had to leave as our stomachs were rumbling in anticipation of our daily Gerace kitchen breakfast. We made it back to the research center with one minute to spare, soon appeasing our hunger with pancakes and bacon.  After breakfast, excitement began to build amongst us as we had a very exciting day ahead of us. We were going to Club Med! Somehow, the lovely people at the local all inclusive resort decided to allow us hooligans in for a day. As we got ready to depart, we put on our very nicest...
