wherein you become exceedingly jealous...

Great Guana Cay is a little island that is part of Abaco, Bahamas. It is so laid back and beautiful. The natives are very welcoming and friendly. We spent ten days of bliss on this amazing island and I would go back tomorrow...

mel was a little excited to finally make it to marsh harbor and could barely contain herself while we were waiting for the ferry.

yep. those are our footprints... and actually they were the only footprints as far as we could see because there was no one else on the beach. amazing!

here is our cutie patootie cottage. it was so wonderful - cozy and decorated beautifully... not to mention, word is that drew barrymore stayed there a few months before us... yeah, that's how we roll.

yes, the water was that blue!

an amazing dinner with great friends.

amazing tropical flowers

the island's only "gas station".

our island transportation. yep, the island was that small. mainly golf carts with only a few actual cars. and they drive on the left... that took a while to get used to. we only had a few close calls.

a best friend who loves to take photos of herself and a beautiful beach - somewhere in there.

a surprised birthday girl with an incredibly delicious homemade cake...

thanks to these two ladies!
the owner and talented chef at the art cafe... you must go there and order a slam bam - it is literally a mountain of cheese. a delicious mountain of cheese!

the view from the porch of the art cafe...

and the view from our bedroom window...

great friends on a beautiful beach...

first time snorkeling... and definitely not the last. If you do go to Guana, be sure to make friends with Troy and go on a snorkeling or diving trip with him. It was truly unforgettable. We also set a world record for swimming when we swam back to the boat after we saw a shark...

Hopetown lighthouse

Albury's Sail Shop, where I will be working when I move there. Sewing all day long... with a view of the ocean. Can't get better than that!

The giant Marsh Harbor International Airport. yeah... that's the whole thing.

And to top it all off, I met a man. I am not sure but I think I can handle this one.

If you made it this far, then you really do love me. Thanks!

be brave, friends...
