    Bimini

    Almost back from Bimini. Overall this might be my new favorite island vacation despite the cons down below. I have never seen water that many colors of clear to turquoise to blue any where in the world. Wed upon arrival we just chilled by the pools. Took gummies and chilled. Sat on the balcony that night after dinner and had some wine and then my special lady friend showed me her appreciation. Luckily the balconies are very private. Thursday we did the resort beach club. Super nice and maybe 15 people total in a club that can probably hold 300. Took a cart out into town and to radio beach and around the island on Friday Went snorkeling on the Sapona cement boat. The seas were pretty rough. I am a very good swimmer. Swam briefly at UT to give you an idea and I went without a life jacket and the boat guys kind of looked at me. I definitely had to work. Everyone else wore jackets. At least 6 people had to be helped back to the boat with life bouys and one lady spent the ride back hunched over and throwing up. They called the cruise ship medical officer to come meet us back at the dock. I had to help one lady calm down and stay afloat for a while. The hotel was really nice. I am a bit disappointed that I did not get a better room as a Hilton diamond. I did win about $50 playing blackjack. The bad. The food was sub par. The wine was limited and 5x normal prices. But there really are no other dining choices unless you keep a cart and go into town. The island feels very safe but we did bump into a few dudes who were over from Florida to fish and got their boat stolen. Cops caught them but they beached it and ran. Then Sunday morning we find out that Silver completely canceled their flight out. Next one wasn't until Wed. Apparently they do it all the time. The ferry filled up so we had to get a few seats on a private charter at $250 each. Went into Tamiami so we ubered to MIA and rented a car. WE dropped a fellow passenger at FLL and my lady friend dropped me at a Hampton for my 6am flights since I missed my Sunday night flight. Shes on her way back to Tallahassee. I have always said you see someones true colors when the shit hits the fan while traveling. My girl handled the insanity with smiles and laughter. Hopefully I can find a way to keep her. See my post in flying assholes of shame for a decent story.
  2. Related. Flight out of Bimini was cxld. Dont ever book Silver Air.. Yada Yada we had to book two seats on a private charter. The Bimini airport building is tiny. These four younger people show up and they are pretty intoxicated.it's become clear they are on our flight. They keep blaring their bad bunny on their huge Bluetooth speaker and dancing grinding like they were in a club. (i didnt mind the two blondes twerking to be honest) Multiple people from the airport have asked them to turn it down and they pout like children. It got kind of tense because they were blaming the rest of us for complaining but it was the airport staff. Fast forward we are about to board the flight and the pilot is checking passports against his manifest. Belligerent people are not paying attention apparently. A few of us go on out to the plane. They get on eventually and we take off. It's only 30 mins. We land at Tamiami Executive Airport. We go into customs and guess who can't find their passports. The non-drunk four of us get processed but CBP won't let us leave the building until the whole flight has cleared immigration. The pilot is telling them "i handed you your passports'. And he points specifically to one girl . They wont accept responsibility. The keep trying to say the pilot didn't give them back. They are asking all of the other passengers to look in their bags. I've got a hundy they set them down on a chair or something in Bimini which means they are not getting into the US. At one point the officers are having to get involved because its getting pretty heated and the drunks are yelling at everyone. Finally after realizing this could be a long term issue the CBP let's us go but I'll always wonder what happened. Pictures included for reference Karma is a bitch

    Bimini

    She's was killing it as a travel nurse but she's stopped for a year or two and working on her NP which will make her more. There is a cleavage shot on the belize thread from last summer
  6. BTW if anyone wants to buy my Peak Design bag referenced above Ill make you a hell of a deal. It's been used once and I just don't see why I'd ever use it again. If not Ill put it on ebay

    Bimini

    Headed to Bimini with my single mom Florida nurse. Meeting her in FLL and taking the puddle jumper. 4 nights at the Hilton Resort. Looks like a really chill place. Anything cant miss?
  8. No. Seems like a long way to go for what is pretty much the exact coastline
  9. Miss and score on the other end. Both engines are out and Spurs are in a tailspin
  10. It's crazy that one person can love a bag and this person super unimpressed with the exact same bag. I've used mine once.
  11. Sounds damn good to me. Maybe Ill spend a few days down there and then jump up to MA for a few days.
  12. My 13 year old daughter would have won 21 trophies too with the payroll on those RM teams
