Bond Inspired Vacation Destination: Bahamas

Finally getting around to writing up the review of our Bond inspired vacation to the bahamas. We did a cruise from Port Canaveral, to Freeport Grand Bahamas, Nassau, and back to Port Canaveral, 5 days in total. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the vacation with a short write up about each. We did a snorkeling adventure in Freeport, and we did a Snuba adventure at Stuarts Cove, followed by Cigar Rolling at Greycliff Cigar, Rum Tasting at John Watlings Distillery, and Dinner at The One and Only Ocean Club. Fantastic Vacation, and already planning the next one.


Got Picked up by Limo 007 without even asking...It was a little dated, but got us from point A to point B comfortably.

If you ever get the chance to eat at the Ocean Club, the food was fantastic, but the fact that nothing has changed since the filming of Casino Royale was even more incredible...

    Sunba Trip with Stuart's Cove Dive Shop. It was pretty much a private snuba trip because it was my girlfriend and I and another couple we went on the cruise with, and that was it on the boat besides the 2 Stuarts Cove guides.
