He's graciously agreed to be my guest blogger today, sharing some of my favorite Bahamian recipes.

Spring Break in Nassau – Baha Bay at Baha Mar
Water coasters, dueling slides, a not so lazy river, and a surf simulator...Baha Bay at Baha Mar had us at water coasters! This $200 million beachfront waterpark is a new addition to Baha Mar, and it is well worth a visit. When we arrived, we got the lay of the land, then set up base… Continue reading Spring Break in Nassau – Baha Bay at Baha Mar
Spring Break in Nassau – Baha Mar
If South Beach and Las Vegas had a baby, it would look a lot like Baha Mar. The resort complex is colorful, super glam, and located on a pristine beach. I seriously could not love it more! Baha Mar consists of three hotels: Grand Hyatt, SLS, and Rosewood, all of which are family-friendly. Grand Hyatt… Continue reading Spring Break in Nassau – Baha Mar

Norwegian Getaway and NCL Peace of Mind
Today's post was designed to be about Norwegian Cruise Line's Peace of Mind Policy, but I realized I never blogged about our experience cruising with them before. Twice actually! So this post will be two-fold. Our most recent experience was our 2015 Family Christmas Cruise, a 7-night W Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Getaway. The… Continue reading Norwegian Getaway and NCL Peace of Mind
Dorian… and How You Can Help!
No doubt you've seen the destruction Hurricane Dorian inflicted upon the northern Bahamas. For days, we watched him crawl over the Abacos then stall over Grand Bahama. Growing up in Nassau, hurricanes meant days of preparation for a few hours of really bad weather. Now, they are catastrophic events with far-reaching consequences. The following images… Continue reading Dorian… and How You Can Help!
Clifton Heritage National Park, New Providence, Bahamas
It's become a tradition that the kids spend the first four weeks of summer with my parents and brother in Nassau. It's a win all around. Stinky and Blinky get extra special bonding time with my family, it's a fully immersive experience in my culture, and the DH and I get to reconnect as a… Continue reading Clifton Heritage National Park, New Providence, Bahamas
Riu Site Inspection
Before flying out last Monday, I had the opportunity to inspect Riu, an adult-only, all-inclusive resort in Nassau, which has just completed a major renovation. The Property Manager could not stop gushing about the changes and was particularly fond of hardwood floors throughout the rooms. I have to agree with her… the updates are stunning… Continue reading Riu Site Inspection
BahaMar Site Inspection
I had the pleasure of a concierge-guided tour of Baha Mar, the Caribbean's newest luxury resort, last Sunday. Ah-may-zing!!! I truly cannot say enough good things about this resort. The attention to detail is impeccable! Even though the day was rainy and gray, the resort guests were bubbling with excitement all around. Offering a collection… Continue reading BahaMar Site Inspection
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day friends! If you or someone you love serves in the armed forced, thank you for your service. I've read several posts recently about what an odd holiday Memorial Day is. This widow wrote about every day being Memorial Day for her family since losing her active-duty husband. But its particularly hard honoring… Continue reading Happy Memorial Day!
