HOLLA......2

I am so excited that we are finally getting this on a blog. We have wanted to share our adventure with everyone! If I ask one more person "have you seen my Eleuthera pics?", it'll be one too many:}
I was so excited when my life long dream to visit Eleuthera became a reality and to make it into an "annual girlz trip" has been ICING on the Cake! We couldn't have had a better "trio". Number two priority on our list was "how can we do this - cheap, cheap, cheap?" None of us are lottery winners....far from it. So we knew we were gonna have to make some compromises..... Lucky for us Hope and I are internet fReAkS! We spent countless hours looking at rentals, together, alone, together on the phone. It became an obsession that we loved. We would send Kara all of the links to what our options were - she got the good part.....veto or keeper! Next was the daily flight check! Ended with a great deal on Spirit Airlines to Nassau and Southern Air to Eleuthera. NOTE: Puddle Jumper in Hope's post! Not for those with "fear of flying" (unless of course you are armed with parachute and xanax.) Layover in Nassau needs to be as short as possible.....airport is hot, there is no locker/baggage options should you want to wander around and find "parking lot/tent" food! But if you want a beer - we highly recommend the Bahamas Beer - KALIK. You can brown bag it anywhere in the Bahamas - HOLLA!! You're on vAcA!! Nobody told us we could bring along one on de plane! Probably for the best though - no potty on puddle jumper... Lots of pics, ohs, ahs and boom you are there. What a beautiful sight flying over the outer islands and seeing all the beautiful colors - we swore we would be able to see a shark from a mile away. We landed at the tiny airport at Governor's Harbour -trekked outside where Kara and I frantically looked for that "hidden lighter" so we could have a much needed ciggie! Hope scouted out the luggage and Kara found our "car rental gal." We were off - wow. LEFT SIDE PLEASE, LEFT SIDE KARA!!
