The Bahamas



This year's company trip was to the One & Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. Its a plantation style resort, with a gorgeous beach, pool, and gardens. At one point the property was owned by the founder of the A&P supermarket chain - they built the Versailles style gardens that lead down to the pool. The beach was wide, and the water was about 5 shades of blue; the temperature was in the 70's the whole time - we came back home to snow. The Ocean Club is very high end spa - the treatment rooms were decorated with carvings from Bali, they were stunning. Yes, Debbie and I both visited the spa!

We had lunch all by ourselves in the golf course clubhouse; the grounds are gorgeous. Michael Jordan, and Oprah have huge homes on the golf course - I biked around and took some pictures. The big white house is Oprah's.

We had access to the Atlantis resort; you see it on TV allot. It was fun to walk through and go to the casino; but we were glad we were not staying there. It is a huge, sprawling property with a marina full of yachts, 2.7 million gallons of aquariums, and some really nice pool's and water slides.

We had a great time, and hope to go back one day.
