Paradise Island

We are having a wonderful time here on Paradise Island.....the weather has been perfect and the hotel is FANTASTIC!! It has been over 10 years since I have been here last and boy has it changed!!

We arrived Monday afternoon and went straight to the pool. After a little relaxation and a couple of fruity island drinks, we headed to an incredible dinner at Bobby Flays restaurant, Mesa Grill. After dinner it was a little gambling at the black jack table and then time to call it a night so we could get out in the sun bright and early!

Today we explored a little....we walked the white sandy beaches and went through the aquarium. What a cool place......look at these guys! This Man of War{pictured below}was bigger than me.....kind of scary when you are standing in front of glass and it is coming straight at you.

After a day of sun and sand, we went to the Mandara Spa for 80 minute massages.....the perfect way to end the day and get rejunvenated before dinner!!


Pat is always razzing me that this is how I look 90% of the time, so to be honest, I have not really done a lot of picture taking yet.....just a couple, but I don't think I can hold out much longer. I think tomorrow, I am pulling out the zoom lens and looking like a total tourist.....consider this your warning for many pictures to come:)


In addition to taking a ton of pictures tomorrow, we are going to be doing what these people are doing....renting jet skies and going parasailing!! We also hope to check out the lazy river that runs around the entire resort. You actually float through a shark tank.....of course you are surrounded by glass, but it still looks a little scary!!

Hope you all had a Happy St Patrick's Day.....we didn't find green beer, so we drank Maragaritas instead:)

I promise.....more interesting pics to come.....just wanted to let you all know that we are here and having a blast. Sometimes, you have to live life and not let it pass you by as you are looking at it through a lens!
