I’m Leaving, on a Jet Plane; Don’t Know When I’ll Be Back Again

This will be my last post before I leave the island. (Wow; that sounds weird!)


Friday night, Ana and I went to our final Elvina’s. There were a ton of people there! I guess Thursday night someone was filming a movie there and there was supposedly a travel writer there on Friday. Pretty cool, huh? We stayed for a few hours and were able to say goodbye to a few people we had met during our stay. After Elvina’s, Fish and Jamal brought us to Seaside which was also had more people than the last time we went. Ana and I danced in the corner until a woman took us by the hand and made us dance in the middle of the room. Ahh!! Haha… it was fun.


Ana and I slept in Saturday morning and made plans to hitchhike to Hatchet Bay, but Fish stopped by with his friend Pete and asked us if wanted to go to Spanish Wells. We hadn’t been there yet, so figured we would tag along. It’s funny how different the islands are. Spanish Wells was much more touristy… I didn’t care for it too much, but the beaches were beautiful. Ana got to drive a golf cart! We stopped at a little game room/restaurant where I got ice cream and Ana tried Prune Whip (it was really good!). After making a few stops in random stores, we decided that it was ridiculously hot and that we should go swimming. The tide was really low, but it felt good to cool off a bit. Ana and I were pretty tired when we got back and decided to get a good nights sleep!


Sunday, we slept in and took our time heading over to Holiday beach to find some last minute shells and soak up a little more sunshine (not that we need anymore!). The rest of the day was spent packing and cleaning. Pam and Gregory invited us over for dinner at their house. The food was so good! Linda was there too. It was really nice to sit down with all of them and talk and to say goodbye.


Today, we have a little more cleaning to do, but have plans to go to Hatchet Bay, the bakery, and a few other random stops. We’ll also most likely take our last swim down at Long Bight… Oh, and my camera is magically working again... strange!


Well, I should go start my day! I can’t wait to see you all! Until tomorrow…


Sand and Sunshine,


Jess
