nassau.

so three days ago i was sitting in my room.. sick and tired of the weather and itching to get out and see something new.. then it hit me; my marvelous parents and younger sister were leaving for the bahamas on saturday.. ang and i's plans for getting down there at a later date were becoming more and more uncertain and before i knew it i had talked to my employers and our flights were booked.

left regina saturday morning after a night of snow fall, with a good chance of more to come.. landed in toronto and was met by julie and phil who graciously took us out on the relatively snow-free town. found an amazing hole-in-the-wall indian restaurant and ate our hearts out.. did some window shopping on queens st.. caught a movie.. and back to the airport we went. from 1am to 8am we tossed and turned on the strategically uncomfortably placed airport benches.. and by noon we had reached paradise.

brilliant sunshine, white sand, and turqouise waves crashing along the coast.. mom and cousin don met us at the airport with clyde in the front seat.. dusted off my shades, and off we went. picked up some over-priced groceries and 'kalik', then dropped the bags off and did some adventuring along the water. mom, frank, and em zipped out with mary and brad on their boat while we got a salad ready to take over to aunt lori's for supper. will be leaving here shortly to meet up with grandma et al over there..
